Scale Fluency: Major Scale Modes

by Graham Tippett

Scale Fluency – Major Scale Modes will give you the complete picture for any major scale mode in any key across the entire guitar neck. In essence, it’s a practice method that ties all those loose ends together that you may have picked up from other scale systems such as the CAGED and 3NPS approaches. It will also bring to life any scale theory you’ve learned as you’ll start to see the big picture, rather than unrelated bits of information that lead to many gray areas on the neck. Scale Fluency is more than a set of patterns, it’s the most thorough scales practice method out there as we cover the neck both horizontally and vertically, leaving no stone unturned. All you need do is practice these patterns on a daily basis and watch the neck gradually open up for you. There’s no magic bullet in this book, just a solid scales method that will do wonders for your playing if you commit to it for at least 90 days. And if you commit to it for longer, you’ll develop the ability to solo effortlessly in all 12 keys, using any mode, as well as laying a solid foundation for learning any other scale and its modes.

About the author

Graham Tippett (1977-) studied literature, music and languages in the UK before making a permanent move to Mexico in 2005. It was there he began to explore and research methods of improvisation on the guitar and published the '2 Position Scale System' series of instruction books in 2014, which are the fruit of that research. He is also well-known for his love of languages and music, drawing parallels between the two art forms as he continues to write and research on the subjects of language learning and improvisation.
