The 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
