Modes for Guitar (Private Lessons)
Presented in straight forward speak. Covers the modes you are probably interested in and none of the ones you probably don’t care about. I wanted to learn more about this subject after hearing that Jimmy Page frequently played in Mixolydian and that many of Queensryche’s solos are played in Aeolian. I am novice at best and usually just improvise using straight pentatonic scales. After a few weeks with this book and studying Michael Wilton’s solos (watching concert videos on DVD) I am now soloing in major scales in aeolian mode. My playing has way more variety now.

Product Description
In this one-on-one lesson, MI instructor Tom Kolb unravels the mystery of the modes, giving guitarists a complete approach to soloing and a thorough, hands-on explanation of Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. He also covers: melodic minor, harmonic minor and the blues scale; soloing over diatonic and modal progressions; superimposing modes; patterns, progressions, licks; and much more. The accompanying CD includes 83 full-band tracks.
Pretty Decent Book – M. Mangham – MI
This seems to be a very good book for supplemental practice. It contains a lot of information on modes in all varieties but it gives the feeling that it is assumed the reader should already have basic music knowledge. I would recommend this book for those already who already have at least a little knowledge of music and are looking for good practice material.
Excellent book even for beginners – Kristian P. Jackson – Portland, ME
I purchased the book after having a chance to see a friend’s copyof it. I have only been playing guitar for about a year and not very much even at that. I am able to pick up this book and follow along with it. Everytime I do it makes me more able to produce something close to music and that is all I wanted.
left wanting – D. Jones – Curlew Wa
Musicians friend books seem either to be great or bad. This one in particular did not do much for me, there are a lot of scale and mode books out there that are better. I personally dont think you can beat fret board logics book for learning modes and scales. Does have some good explanantions of theory though, if you can get it used at good price go for it….but I would not pay cover price for it.
Great tool for modes!! – John Wayne Comunale – houston, TX
I found this book to be a great way to connect the dots in your head when it comes to modes. It gave me a better understanding of the rules involved in applying modes, and how to bend and break those rules to suit my own style. I would recomend at least a basic understanding in some music theory in order for this book to be truly effective.
