Smith\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Modal Scale Workout 2.0: An Introduction to Modes and Modal Scale Theory for GuitaristsThis 'Modal Workout' started off as a hand written scribble on some music paper that I handed out to my guitar students as a challenging exercise. The 'workout' provided the additional benefit of memorizing sequences and shapes in a key. Very useful for building improvisational skills and a strong technical foundation.I finally got around to organizing it in to a full-size book.I've tried to keep this book concise. You should expect the following results: When I started my website, one of the first things I offered to the wonderful guitarists who joined my email list was this Guitar Modal Workout. A simple 2 page PDF. No instructions, no explanation, no text; just the same exercise I was handing out to students over 25 years ago.The funny thing was, guitarists loved it I finally got around to organizing it a bit better and with more explanation and thoughts on Guitar Modal Scales in general. I took a few excerpts from my online guitar lessons and included them here as accompaniment to fill things out.There is much to explore down the modal theory rabbit-hole. I offer only the tip of the iceberg in this little guide. As always, I encourage you to take your own studies deeper and beyond what you can get from any one source.Here's what you can get in the new Guitar Modal Workout: Explanation of the Major Scale.Circle of Keys Explained.What a mode is and how to build them in any key.How modes and chords relate to each other on the guitar fretboard.All 7 Mode Shapes (block shapes).All 7 Mode shapes (3 note-per-string shapes)All 7 Melodic Minor Mode shapes.All 7 Harmonic Minor Mode shapes.How modes overlap on the guitar neck.How to build sequences across modal scales.The original Modal Scale Workout.The updated 2020 Modal Scale 2.0 Workout.The Whole Enchilada - Advanced WorkoutTAB and Standard Notatio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.14 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 22, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42162447450247,"sku":"9781735154831","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a100de0a6b60c73af1d9913ef5e8ddc7.webp?v=1733289545","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/modal-scale-workout-an-introduction-to-modes-and-modal-scale-theory-for-guitarists-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
