Ready to add the secret ingredients of the Melodic Minor modes to your
Rock Guitar solos?
The Melodic Minor Guitar Cookbook takes a look at the 7 modes of the
Melodic Minor scale through a rock guitarist's eyes and teaches you how
to add its distinct flavours to your music.
Welcome to the Melodic Minor Guitar Cookbook!
All modern rock guitarists will benefit from adding Melodic Minor
flavour to their improvisations. While these "secret sounds" are often
associated with jazz, they can be effectively added to your rock solos
to create fresh new approaches. This guide to the melodic minor scale
builds on what you already know about soloing by adding a taste of the
exotic to the recipe!
Learn the Melodic Minor Modes
Each mode of Melodic Minor contains a set of intervals that are unique,
and which distinguish its sound from all the others. These are the
"sweet notes" of the mode, and by targeting them we have a recipe for
bringing out its unique flavour.
The Melodic Minor Guitar Cookbook teaches how to use these sweet
notes to bring out creative melodies in your soloing. You'll break away
from conventional scales and add some real spice to your creative ideas.
There are detailed explanations, friendly diagrams, and loads of real
musical examples that will quickly teach you how to use the Melodic
Minor modes in a rock guitar soloing context.
Practical Application of Melodic Minor Modes for Guitar
The focus is on the application of each "recipe" and how to enhance
your existing knowledge, rather than rewriting the rulebook of electric
guitar soloing. Of course, we cover the essential theory, but this book
is all about quickly adding intelligent, articulate, fresh ingredients
to your playing.
