DICTIONARY OF SCALES AND MODES FOR ELETRIC AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR IN DIAGRAMS To start with, this dictionary of learning in diagrams, which the goal is to provide a practical routine, concomitantly offer an organized information to be learned and related to the experiences that each student has already knows. Diagrams are easy-to-understand the fingering pattern in the application of the scales and chords together with their respective triads and tetrads. Altogether, i want to show you that the church modes should be used in a clear way an how they are important to improvisation and composition. Likewise, it is important to understand the order of modes as if they were a alphabet because each mode has got a "different sound." In the meantime, each chord is related with the first step of a major scale and every scale is a "different fingering" of it, they just start on "different positions" in the freatboard. Also, beyond the technique, picking we will see the "non melodic exercices" functioning as "warm-up" together with other scales. For instance, pentatonic scale, blues scale, exotic scales, modes of natural minor scale, modes of melodic minor scale, modes of harmonic minor scale, bebop scales, symmetrical scales and finally the chromatic pentatonic scale. All in diagrams All in all, this dictionary does not teach music theory but i do recommend the music notation. On the whole it goes without saying that students who are interested in becoming a musician should obtain a knowledge of diagrams, scores and tablature to be proficient. DIAGRAM I-GRAPHIC DIAGRAM DIAGRAM II-"NON MELODIC EXERCICES": The purpose of these exercices is the "right-left-hand synchronization" so that the diagram fingering brings "pick-and-finger-independence," technique, creating a combination between them. This is an exercice for both hands. These exercices will develop your technique a little faster because they involve the use of large repetition time and time again through alternate picking, downstrokes and upstrokes. DIAGRAM III- CHURCH MODES: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian.
