Modes: No More Confusion

Are you a Guitarist who’s fuzzy about modes? You’ve heard the names - you know, those weird ones like Phrygian - and you know that a lot of your favorite players use them. Maybe you can even play a couple of finger patterns (only in one place, of course!) It’s still a confusing subject for you - but you sense intuitively that knowing more about modes would make you a better player.

Modes: No More Confusion is the most comprehensive introduction to modes that you will ever find. Clear and concise, Modes starts right from the beginning, and assumes no prior knowledge on your part. You’ll learn what modes are, where they come from, how to recognize their sounds, and why Guitarists use them instead of other scales.

There are three master methods for understanding modes - three different ways of thinking about them, all leading to the same answers. Modes: No More Confusion takes you down all three paths, and shows you which way is the most appropriate for different musical situations. The result? Total comprehension about how modes work, and how to build and play them, all in one concise and readable book. 

There’s simply no good reason to be confused by modes any longer!

Modes? Mastered!

When it comes to playing Guitar & applying music theory, things aren’t always as they seem. There are concepts and techniques, literally hidden in plain view, that most Guitarists will go through their whole lives not seeing. Unless, that is, someone (or some book) points it out. Modes? Mastered! will get you utilizing the modes in ways that most players never will. And it sounds really, really cool!

The book is uniquely organized to focus on your ears, just as much as your hands. Every concept and technique is presented within the framework of each specific mode. This makes it easier to memorize and apply what you learn on a mode-by-mode basis, so that you can apply it to practical playing situations as quickly as possible. Feel like brushing up on Phrygian? Just open the Phrygian section, and all the material is there in one place.

You’ll explore modal harmony, and learn how to identify and construct modal chord progressions - and along the way, you’ll understand exactly when and where to use each mode. Transform ordinary pentatonic fingerings and scales into hidden modal patterns, and use triad arpeggios in new ways - unlocking the sound of any mode to use in your solos. Master an easy-to-memorize two string pattern for each mode, and inject new life into your phrasing with linear lines. Learn how to use the "master" scale fingering for quickly playing any mode, anywhere on the neck.

With Modes? Mastered! you’ll accomplish all of this, and actually understand it.
