MODALOGY scales, modes & chords: the primordial building blocks of music

MODALOGY
scales, modes & chords:
the primordial building
blocks of music

by Jeff Brent with Schell Barkley

Primarily a music theory reference, Modalogy presents a unique perspective on the origins, interlocking aspects, and usage of the most common scales and modes in occidental music.

The most important issues in the real-world functions of scales and modes are dealt with in meticulous detail. Logical illustrations accompany in-depth examinations of chordal harmonies, cadential motions, and progressions.

by Jeff Brent, Joe Bianco &
Gerhard Ersdal

As a thesaurus of chordal options available to the jazz
guitarist, this book is an in- depth study in fluid and
cohesive voice leading using drop voicings on major and
minor II-V-I progressions.

But for the drop voicings used to better accommodate
the guitar fretboard, the rootless chords in
CHORDALOGY
are identical to the Bill Evans close voiced
system for piano.
