INTRODUCTION

Many guitarists are trying to learn as many different scales as they can, however, they are not completely understanding the modes (scales), their fingerings, and how and where to use them.

The modes are one of the most useful tools in a guitar player’s tool kit. They enable guitar players to solo / improvise over many different types of chords in all genres.

Other methods teach modes in various keys which are more difficult to learn and understand. Some teach methods by starting on C (root) for every mode. (Example: C Ionian, C Dorian, C Phrygian, etc.) This means dealing with seven different keys and their sharps and flats. Modes In Motion simplifies learning the modes by keeping them in one key (the Key of G) which allows a better understanding of how modes progress from one to the other.

This book is a complete formulated mode (scale) system that will take you out of the conventional guitar playing style and put you in a new dimension of guitar playing. (From this point on a SCALE will be referred to as a MODE). It will change the way you think about modes and their chord relations. This system is called Modes In Motion.

The goal of this book is to teach you to connect and blend mode forms into each other while logically covering the entire fretboard, thus allowing you to get the most out of your playing. You will also learn to use the correct modes over various different chords and their progressions, and ways to always determine what modes over what chords.

This method is for the guitarist just beginning to learn modes, as well as the professional. This will discipline your mode playing and bring you to a new awakening. It seems that every student starting to learn modes eventually asks me this dreaded question: Why bother learning all the modes when they are just different starting points of the major scale and if I play the scale, I’ll be playing the modes anyway? I give them all the same explanation: Modes are created by the sound of the position and placement of a mode in motion. The motion of a mode is created by properly and logically playing the Mode Finger Form (from now on abbreviated
