EC-71742CD Teach Yourself Scales & Modes • From East Coast
A mode is a scale in which the tonal center has been displaced. It is simply playing a major scale in any given key and beginning and ending on the same note an octave apart which is not necessarily the root of the key. For instance if you play D to D in the key of C using the same accidental rules (as in this case no sharps or flats) it is a Dorian Mode. Dorian begins on the 2nd note in any major scale and finishes on the same note an octave apart. To comprehend then implement these improvisational scales is an important lesson and the melodic basis for many great jazz artists. We can construct a scale starting on any note, arrange the whole steps and half steps in the same manner and it will always sound like a major scale. In other words, it is the arrangement of the whole steps and half steps that give a scale its characteristic sound.

71755 Teach Yourself Lead Guitar wtth CD
Teach Yourself Lead Guitar with CD distributed by Santorella Publications is a self-taught guide to playing lead guitar. Rather than offer a description from the publishers prospective, we thought we would let the author, Mr. Paul J. Newman tell you in his own words.
Teach Yourself Lead Guitar is about playing lead guitar; so what will you find here? It is not a book of scales - -but there are lots of them inside. Nor is it about guitar riffs and licks - - yet many of the musical illustrations are riffs and licks. We talk music theory quite a bit as well - - but no, this is not a theory book.
Teach Yourself Lead Guitar is a “guide book”. We’ll take you around lead guitar country, showing you the landscape, describing the things we come across, hopefully anticipating your questions with the answers.
If you’ve picked up this book then you’re already into music so we don’t need to tell you what a blast it is to play; in fact, a lot of you probably already do to some degree. This book is designed for everybody, from complete beginner to “beginning to be complete” as a player.

The First Jam series was created to give children and beginners of all ages a book of simple, common tunes to learn. These are standard “Jam” tunes in the Bluegrass/Old Time music styles. All the books in this series are written in the same keys; they can all be played together without any problems. So get your friends or family who play guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, dulcimer or Dobro together, grab these books and start jamming.
Improvisation – Another idea behind writing the First Jam series was to provide a number of tunes that were easy to learn, but that are also a great to begin working on improvising. Each books offer the melody for that particular instrument as well as back-up chords for another instrument to accompany you. Each song is represented in Tab, notation and chord symbols. The accompanying CD has two tracks for each song. The first playing the song with the melody line, the second track offers just the backup so you can play the melody over it or even improvise. Tunes include: Cripple Creek, Old Joe Clark, Will the Circle Be Unbroken and many more.
