Guitar Scales and Modes Trainer: Melodic Sequences, Intervals, and Arpeggios for the Ionian Mode of the Major Scale

by Robert Farrell

Overview

This book focuses specifically on the Ionian mode of the major scale in its commonly associated fret board position. This is the first mode of the major scale. The complete series is designed to help you learn and memorize the major scale and modes by focusing on each mode position individually, then gradually connecting them together to cover every position of the fret board. Each mode position is explored in depth to gradually develop your technique using scalar melodic sequences, intervals, and arpeggios. For every exercise, music and tablature notation are provided, as well as recommended fret board fingerings.

In order to help you to learn and memorize this specific mode position, a total of 72 lesson exercises are provided. The lesson exercises include:

Mode Sequences: All seven mode sequences are provided within this specific position.

Melodic Sequences: Three and four-note ascending and descending lesson exercises in two challenging variations.

Melodic Intervals: Seven ascending and descending lesson exercises in two challenging variations. This includes 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, 6ths, 7ths, and Octaves.

Melodic Arpeggio Sequences: Three and four-note ascending and descending lesson exercises in two challenging variations. This includes triad, sixths, and sevenths arpeggio sequences.

Melodic Arpeggios: Three and four-note ascending and descending full arpeggio lesson exercises. This includes triad, sixths, and sevenths arpeggios.

About the Author

Robert Farrell is a self-taught guitarist with over seventeen years of experience and is the author of the Guitar Sweep Picking Trainer and Guitar Scales & Modes Trainer series. Over time, he realized the significant challenge with improving guitar technique is figuring out what to practice. While there are many great resources and training materials available, he desired a systematic and incremental approach to improving knowledge and technique with a specific focus on maximizing results in the short-term. It all began with applying some fundamental analysis and design he had learned as a software developer toward strategies for improving his own guitar technique. His training materials use a short-term approach which develop fundamental skills gradually in order to advance to higher levels of practice and technique. This "building-blocks" approach can result in a much more efficient progression through a specific learning curve by making it easier to advance at each step.
