Music Instruction

I offer Music Instruction in 3 ways:

1. Book of Modes (and Modal Patterns for Guitar) – Over 25 years in the making, this is the cumulative result of a lifetime of study and dedication to promoting melodious music for the masses. This book is a Total Visual Approach for learning Modes on Guitar, from a unique perspective, designed to enhance what you already know, and can be integrated easily into your current musical practice, regardless of your skill level. If you know how to play an E-Formation Bar chord – You can learn the modes in mere minutes! You will never look at the guitar the same way again!

Available in downloadable formats (Kindle, PDF). Deluxe edition includes Audio and Video examples of select charts and exercises throughout the book.

This is the first volume, and focuses on the Western Scales, which include All 7 Modes: Ionian (the Major scale), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (the Natural minor scale), and Locrian. Also covered are the scales for: Major and minor Pentatonic, Hexatonic, Harmonic minor, Melodic minor, Jazz minor, Phrygian #3rd, Whole Tone, minor third, diminished and half-diminished, and the Blues Scale.

2. Demonstrations/Lessons through personal Videos I have created. Insights on technique, playing with feeling, and some modal demonstrations to inspire melodious creativity. These are available free of charge.

3. Guitar Lessons via Zoom – This service will only be available to those individuals who have purchased the complete Book of Modes (Deluxe Edition), and wish to take a deeper dive with the author.
