Modal Mojo is an in-depth and complete lesson on modes for modern guitarists. With its 84-page book, and over eight hours of audio instruction, demonstration, and play-along tracks, this is truly one of the most complete studies of the modes available for players of any level. Mock includes etudes and rhythm examples for each mode as he takes you step-by-step through all 28 modal grooves. He demonstrates the use of arpeggios, sequences, intervals, chromatics, and optional scales to make your modal improvising more melodic and interesting. The book also features a special Resource Section, which illustrates the best scale patterns for the modes and important modal chord substitution concepts.
The 28 play-along grooves are performed live by guitarist Don Mock, bassist Steve Kim, and drummer Dave Coleman, and cover all the common and not-so-common Dominant 7th, Major and Minor modes. The tracks are creative real-world performances with dynamic and color changes, which can inspire new ideas from the practicing musician. The trio performs the grooves using contemporary jazz, Latin, fusion, and rock feels in various tempos and keys. Not only are the play-along grooves a valuable resource for developing improvisational skills, but also offer a wealth of ideas for rhythm and comping.

Modal Mojo is an in-depth lesson on modes for contemporary guitarists. Each of the 13 modes on the play-along CD is explored from both a single-note improvisational and rhythm guitar point of view. You'll notice that this book contains very little text; it's intended to be used for reference to show the modes, patterns, scale harmonies, examples, and etudes in music notation and tablature. Join me on the audio CD, where you will find the demonstrations and my discussions about each example. And we'll do a lot of playing, too: we'll learn the correct mode, its fingerings, and some optional scales for each of the 28 tracks on the play-along CD. The modes are divided into three sections: minor, major, and dominant. I'll demonstrate each mode and talk about concepts you can use to make your modal playing melodic and interesting. I've also included an etude for each mode. The etudes, which are sample solos from 8 to 32 bars in length, include intervals, arpeggios, chromatics, and rhythms: all the ingredients for an interesting improvised solo. I'll take you through each etude slowly, then we'll play it up to tempo with the corresponding modal groove. Next, we'll get into the details about how to play interesting modal rhythm parts. We'll look at the scale harmony and theory for each mode, and discover ways to use extended and substitute chords to create convincing rhythm parts. In the Resource Section, you'll find fingering patterns for all the primary "parent" scales that the modes are derived from. These include the major scale, harmonic and melodic minor scales, and pentatonic scales. I've also included a hybrid scale called a minor sixth pentatonic. The Resource Section also includes the most useful patterns for the symmetrical diminished and whole tone scales, as well as a special chapter on the three principles of chord substitution. Modal Mojo addresses the most common modes a modem guitar player might encounter. All seven modes derived from the major scale are included. From the melodic minor scale we'll look at the Lydian #5, Lydian/Dominant, and Super-Locrian modes. We'll study the Ionian #5 and the Phrygian/Dominant modes from the harmonic minor scale, as well as one other modal groove, which is not really considered a mode: the Dominant 7#9. You'll find this popular groove discussed in both the dominant modes section and the minor modes section. The study and understanding of modes and the scale harmonies derived from them is truly a study of the workings of music. Although our emphasis is on playing rhythm and soloing on single-chord extended modal grooves, the knowledge you'll gain will go a long way toward understanding key centers, theory, and how chords work together in progressions. Be sure to understand the mode, what its parent scale or key center is, and the chords that are built off of its scale tones. Make it a point to notice the sound and color modes create. And don't forget to take advantage of the guitar fingerboard as a guide to find solutions: think of it as a slide rule, remembering that chord shapes and scale patterns can be moved up or down to new locations. Modal Mojo is organized in a way that allows you to start with any mode you choose. If modes are new to you, I would recommend tackling the modes of the major scale first. From the minor category, these include Dorian, Phrygian, Aeolian, and Locrian. The major mode category includes Ionian and Lydian, and the dominant group includes Mixolydian.
