David Taub here and I want to take a second to thank you for purchasing this instructional product. This book was designed to coincide with the Modern & Classic Blues Rock Masters. But this book can also be used on its own as a stand alone reference guide to scale diagrams, lead guitar soloing strategies, modal playing, learning to play over chord changes, and much more. This Next Level Guitar Blues Masters DVD course comes complete with seven DVDs and three audio jam track CDs. These instructional DVDs, audio CDs, and this book of written lessons is an excellent tool for the guitarist to develop and enhance their lead guitar playing, improvisation skills, music theory knowledge, scale and mode learning, rhythm, fretboard knowledge, and much more. Remember that the points I list throughout these materials are guidelines to get you started - not necessarily rules forged in stone. Often in jams you have to use your discretion. Creativity is key and listening and learning how certain notes, scales, or arpeggios work over certain chords or progressions will continue to move your playing forward. Keep accurate records in your practice log of the items you are working on, what needs work, chord changes, progressions, songs, original

  • Minor Pentatonic & Blues- the Five Box Shapes
    Minor Pentatonic & Blues- The Five Box Shapes Now we will add one note to the minor pentatonic scale and turn it into the six-note blues scale. Pentatonic & Blues scales are the most commonly used scales in most genres of music. We can add the flat 5, (b5), or blue note to the pentatonic scale, making it a six-note scale called the Blues Scale. That b5, or blue note, adds a lot of tension and color to the scale. These are “must-know” scales especially for blues and rock so be sure to memorize them and add them to your soloing repertoire. Most of the time when soloing with minor pentatonic scales you can also use the blues scale. To be safe, at first, use the blue note more in passing for color, don’t hang on it too long. Hanging on that flat five too long can sound a bit dissonant. It’s a great note though, so experiment with it and let your ear guide you. The five box shapes illustrated below cover the entire neck. These five positions are the architecture to build licks and runs as well as to connect into longer expanded scales. To work freely across the entire neck you will want to memorize all five positions as well as the two expanded scales illustrated on the next page. These scale shapes are moveable. The key is determined by the root notes illustrated in black. If you want to solo in G minor pentatonic play box #1 using your first finger starting at the 3rd fret on the low E-string and play the shape from there.

  • Lyn Hejinian “The Inanimate Are Rocks, Desks, Bubble,” 50 from My Life 51 from Writing Is an Aid to Memory 54 the Green 57 “The Erosion of Rocks Blooms
    in the american tree Silliman in the american tree Second Edition, with a new Afterword by Ron Silliman The “Language Poets” have extended the Pound-Williams (or perhaps the Pound-Williams- in the americanlanguage tree realism poetry Zukofsky-Stein) tradition in American writing into new and unexpected territories. In the process, these poets have established themselves as the most rigorous and the most radically experi- mental avant-garde on the current literary scene. This anthology offers the most substantial col- lection of work by the Language Poets now available, along with 130 pages of theoretic statements by poets included in the anthology. As such, In the American Tree does for a new generation of American poets what Don Allen’s The New American Poetry did for an earlier generation. The poets represented include Robert Grenier, Barrett Watten, Lyn Hejinian, Bob Perelman, Michael Palmer, Michael Davidson, Clark Coolidge, Charles Bernstein, Hannah Weiner, Bruce Andrews, Susan Howe, Fanny Howe, Bernadette Mayer, Ray DiPalma, and many others. “For millennia, poets have had to make their own way and the world that goes with it. The genius of these various writers and the consummate clartiy with which they are presented here make very clear again that not only is this the road now crucial for all poetry, it’s literally where we are going.” –Robert Creeley “This historic anthology brings into long-needed focus the only serious and concerted movement in American literature of the past two decades. It will be indispensible to anyone with interest in writ- ing’s present and hope for writing’s future.” –Peter Schjeldahl “Provocative in its critique and antidote, this collection invites the curious writer/reader to question all assumptions regarding generally agreed upon values of poetic language practices.

  • I. the Term Стр. 1 Из 93 Mode 01.10.2013 Mk:@Msitstore:D
    Mode Стр. 1 из 93 Mode (from Lat. modus: ‘measure’, ‘standard’; ‘manner’, ‘way’). A term in Western music theory with three main applications, all connected with the above meanings of modus: the relationship between the note values longa and brevis in late medieval notation; interval, in early medieval theory; and, most significantly, a concept involving scale type and melody type. The term ‘mode’ has always been used to designate classes of melodies, and since the 20th century to designate certain kinds of norm or model for composition or improvisation as well. Certain phenomena in folksong and in non-Western music are related to this last meaning, and are discussed below in §§IV and V. The word is also used in acoustical parlance to denote a particular pattern of vibrations in which a system can oscillate in a stable way; see Sound, §5(ii). For a discussion of mode in relation to ancient Greek theory see Greece, §I, 6 I. The term II. Medieval modal theory III. Modal theories and polyphonic music IV. Modal scales and traditional music V.

  • Musical Modes, Their Associated Chords and Their Musicality 3
    MUSICAL MODES, THEIR ASSOCIATED CHORDS AND THEIR MUSICALITY MIHAIL COCOS & KENT KIDMAN Abstract. In this paper we present a mathematical way of defining musical modes and we define the musicality of a mode as a product of three differ- ent factors. We conclude by classifying the modes which are most musical according to our definition. 1. Musical scales and modes First we must define some concepts. In traditional western style of music there are 12 different notes in an octave. Two notes represent the same tone if they are at a distance of 12n semitones (a multiple of octaves apart). The 13th note restarts the cycle and it is the same tone as our first note (simply an octave higher). Loosely speaking a scale is simply an ordered sequence of different tones within the same octave. For instance CDEFGAB is the well known C major scale, ABCDEFG is the A minor scale, and EGAA#BD is the hexatonic blues scale in the key of E. The first note of the scale is said to be the key of the scale. Definition 1.1. For further considerations about scales we will associate every tone with a numerical value, namely its position in the chromatic A scale AA#BCC#CDD#EF F #GG# The lexicographic order of tones will be defined as the order induced by their nu- merical values defined as above. The precise mathematical definition of a scale is: arXiv:1201.2654v1 [math.CO] 12 Jan 2012 Definition 1.2. A k scale is a circular permutation of k different tones in lexico- graphic order.
