Guitar Mode Soloing Connections
Joseph Alexander is the most popular and highly rated guitar author on Amazon.
In this collection he brings together three ground-breaking books that have revolutionised and simplified the process of mastering pentatonic scales, modes and mastering the entire fretboard.
It’s a rock-solid method for playing the most important sounds in modern music, anywhere on the neck, in any key!
Praise for these three books includes:
“The first book I’ve found that takes the basic pentatonic scale and demonstrates, step by step, how it segues into the modes.”
“Really clear to understand – a refreshing change from most guitar tuition books!”
“All the information you need to create those solos you always dreamed of playing.”
Minor Pentatonic Soloing Connections
You probably know one or two positions of the minor pentatonic scale and all your guitar licks fit into tidy little boxes, but you’re stuck in a rut. You play the same ideas and you’re bored with your guitar solos. This book shows you how to fix the two problems you didn’t know you had.
The first step on the road to total fretboard freedom is to master the unique licks hiding in all five shapes of the minor pentatonic scale. Then, the real magic happens as you learn how to break out of horizontal minor pentatonic boxes and access the entire neck by playing vertically.
Great guitarists think vertically up and down the neck and can smoothly link pentatonic scales along any string, flowing between positions. You’ll learn the musical pathways that link all five pentatonic positions, along any string, and in any key.
From Pentatonic Scales to Modes
We all want to access exciting modal sounds in our solos, but the question of how best to learn and play them is rarely addressed. Students are often given big grids of scale shapes and taught to run up and down boring patterns without much success.
There’s a much better way to learn modes, especially when you can already play pentatonic scales. Learn how pentatonic shapes form the “skeletons” of literally any mode, and how by adding just two notes you can quickly bring modal colours into your playing while retaining classic pentatonic phrasing.
This book teaches you the most important modes of Dorian, Aeolian, Mixolydian and Major anywhere on the neck, and you’ll learn hundreds of gorgeous licks along the way.
Guitar Mode Soloing Connections
Building on the previous two volumes, this book sets you firmly on the road to complete fretboard freedom as you learn how to connect adjacent scale shapes all the way up the neck.
Each of the five Major CAGED scale shapes is taught via clear diagrams, notation, and meaningful exercises. Next, you’ll learn all the useful connection points between pairs of adjacent scale shapes, so you can move between them without thinking.
Once you’ve mastered the Major scale, you’ll master Aeolian, Mixolydian and Dorian scales across the neck, instantly, in any key, by recycling scale shapes built around strong “anchor” chords.
With over 500 free audio examples to download, this is your complete roadmap to guitar soloing freedom, taught in a creative and instantly practical way, which means you’ll quickly be playing real music and not boring exercises.
