I
have toured all over the world as a professional musician,
and am an author of these revolutionary books on Music Theory,
Guitar Fretboard Fingerings and Jazz Guitar Chords:
The object of this book is to achieve,
in the absolute shortest time possible,
muscle memory mastery of the fingering gestures necessary to visualize and
internalize the jazz arpeggios on guitar in order to facilitate playing them melodically.
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.
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.
This
guitar book is an in-depth study guide
for those who wish
to further their understanding of
guitar scale fingerings
in an intelligent and orderly manner.
All
the essential western scales and modes are mapped out on the
fretboard in easy-to-remember patterns that are perfectly
logical, and - most importantly - 100% practical for ease
of execution in performance.
