Bruce Arnold's Total Modal is one of the best selling CDROM
packages on the market today. Total Modal thoroughly examines the
theory, harmony and
application of 19 essential modes and scales for composition and
improvisation. This intensive study program will provide a
comprehensive framework for composing melodies and hooks, improvising
over any set of changes, superimposing scales, creating progressions
and constructing chords for any musical application. In short, Total
Modal is the definitive scale and mode application resource.
The 19 scales and modes covered are: Ionian, Dorian, Dorian b2,
Phrygian, Lydian, Lydian #5, Lydian b7, Mixolydian, Mixolydian b6,
Mixolydian b2 b6, Aeolian, Locrian, Locrian natural 2, Jazz Minor,
Harmonic Minor, Altered, Diminished, Symmetrical Diminished and Whole
Tone. In short, every essential scale and mode necessary for composing
and improvising across rock, blues, jazz and popular music.
Your Total Modal professor is Bruce Arnold. Bruce runs the guitar
programs at Princeton University and New York University, hosts the
Summer Jazz Workshops in NYC, and is one of the most respected and
prolific educators in the business. Arnold also composes, records and
performs worldwide with a long list of top artists.
While you will certainly learn the fingerings and positions for all 19
scales and modes, in all keys, Total Modal goes much further than any
“scale/mode” course on the market. Every scale and mode is demonstrated
in a musical context to illustrate their "colors" and
characteristics. The course includes a JamBox filled with 100
vamps for practicing every scale and mode in every key. Over 60 charts
spell out every position, as well as the Diatonic and Diatonic chords
that stem from the scale or mode, in every key. Most important of all,
Arnold unlocks the application of each scale and mode so that you can
immediately start applying the information in your playing and
composition.
Total Modal is optimized for solid intermediate to advanced players and
is presented across 2 CD-ROMs (Windows and Mac compatible), features 40
full-length video lessons, text overviews, 100 practice rhythm tracks,
standard notation and interactive Power Tab. TrueFire's video lesson
player features zoom, frame advance, looping and other handy controls.
