Product Description

Pages: 2

Most etudes/studies teach you proper technique. I thought it would be interesting to have studies teach music theory and composing instead. Instead of just reading about music in a book, we can play the music theory. The objective of this study is to train in understanding the modes that have a minor quality:
1. Aeolian
2. Locrian
3. Dorian
4. Phyrigian

Another objective of this study is to train in understanding the modes that have a major quality:
1. Ionian
2. Mixolydian
3. Lydian

Features:

1.
Guitar Arrangement
2. Beginner
3. Guitar Tab
4. Chord Charts
5. Less stereotypical chords
6. Fingerings and letter names added to aid in sight-reading
7. Voice leading considerations
8. A song designed to teach you quickly, as opposed to a song that is written to be commercially successful

Tips:
1. Each mode has one special note. It is a great exercise to figure them out. For example, the C# in E dorian sections is the special note. This C# "should" have been a C in the key of "regular" E minor.

2. One of the most elegant ways of playing modes is to play 1 more sharp or 1 less sharp than what the song suggests. For example, if a song is in C Major, trying soloing with a G Major scale, that would lead to an extra bright and happy sound. This is why I don't have scale charts for the modes, if you just play a slightly incorrect Major scale, you can can acheive all the modes leveraging the scales you already know.

3. Don't underestimate the last two pages since the modes are beautifully notated and annotated. If someone is serious about mastering modal playing, then the last two pages are indispensable and you should keep them nearby for the rest of your life. I put the special notes of each mode in purple. Those purple notes are what is making them different from a typical major/minor scale.
