Introduction You hold in your hands the most comprehensive resource for chords and scales available. Every chord or scale you will ever need to know can be found in these pages. For the first time ever, the best-selling books The Ultimate Guitar Chord Bible and The Ultimate Guitar Scale Bible have been combined to form The Ultimate Guitar Chord and Scale Bible—over 330 pages of information that can increase your musical knowledge and make you a better guitar player. The Ultimate Guitar Chord Bible will show you the most useful variations and inversions of every major, minor, dominant 7th and altered dominant 7th chord on different sets of strings and in various inversions. The fingerings shown are the easiest, and if you give them a chance you’ll probably come to see why they were chosen. There are even some fingerings that include your thumb! Try them all out and see why they work. They are, however, just suggestions; you can make your own fingering decisions if you like. This books starts with all the E chords and moves by key through the cycle of 4ths.           E /D A /G D /C G /F E A D G C B /A

The Ultimate Guitar Scale Bible is a vast scale and chord/scale relationship reference tool. To get the most out of this book, a basic knowledge of music theory and improvisation will be helpful. All the scales in this book were chosen because of their usefulness in improvisational or compositional contexts. Use this book to supplement your existing scale knowledge and further your melodic and harmonic universe. Remember, these scales don’t make the music. You do!

The Ultimate Guitar Chord and Scale Bible is not only a groundbreaking combination of two best-selling books, it is the only resource for chords and scales you will ever need. What are you waiting for? Dig in!

Buck Brown plays guitar and keyboards with The Nils Lofgren Band and Robert Lee Castleman as well as performing his own solo act. He has been fortunate to be able to play with these great artists and many others, teach at the National Guitar Workshop, and write numerous instructional books for the National Guitar Workshop and Alfred. As a composer, he has written music for America’s Most Wanted, has won an Emmy Award in Cleveland, a Bronze medal at the New York Film Festival and has been nominated twice for Helen Hayes Awards in Musical Theatre. When he is not on the road, Buck plays and teaches in the Washington D.C. area, is married to the fabulous chanteuse Rebecca Davis, plays with his son Will and their three dogs, bats right, throws right, plays loud.

Introduction To become a better guitar player, it is important to spend some time learning how to play all chords in various places on the guitar. This book will show you the most useful variations and inversions of every major, minor, dominant 7th and altered dominant 7th chord on different sets of strings and in various inversions.

About the Author

The fingerings shown are the easiest, and if you give them a chance you’ll probably come to see why they were chosen. There are even some fingerings that include your thumb! Try them all out and see why they work. They are, however, just suggestions; you can make your own fingering decisions if you like. The most common and useful chord voicings are highlighted and numbered according to their comparative usefulness. Otherwise, the chords are arranged from the lowest positive to the highest, making it easy for you to find the voicing best for the context in which it will be used. This books starts with all the E chords and moves by key through the cycle of 4ths.           E A D G C B /A E /D A /G D /C G /F B I hope this helps you get a good handle on chords. At the very least, you can use it as a reference for finding fingerings for any chords you might have to play. See you at the gig. Buck

 6 8) Ake Bono 2 3 5Book How to Use(1This

The Ultimate Guitar Scale Bible is a vast scale and chord/scale relationship reference tool. To get the most out of this book, a basic knowledge of music theory and improvisation will be helpful. All the scales in this book were chosen because of their usefulness in improvisational or compositional contexts. Use this book to supplement your existing scale knowledge and further your melodic and harmonic universe. Remember, these scales don’t make the music. You do!

How to Use This Book

Each page includes: • A brief description of the scale, including type, origin, construction and uses. • A one-octave expression of the scale in standard music notation with tablature, always beginning with the note C as the root. • An open position fingering with the note C as the root (the root is always shown as a black circle). • A single-string fingering using the B (2nd) string with the note C as the root. • Position fingerings in all twelve keys through the

circle of 4ths. In most cases, a large variety of different fingerings is offered in this section (rather than just the same fingering transposed around the fretboard). For an explanation of the circle of 4ths, see Appendix A on page 323. • A two-note-per-string fingering, usually with an E root. • A two-measure chord vamp over which to practice the scale (in standard notation with tablature and chord symbols).

The unique, two-measure vamps were created to help express the character of each scale. They were designed to be recorded or sequenced by you to use as backgrounds for exploration. Keep in mind that most of these vamps are based on the root of the scale described. All of the scales in this book may be superimposed over a variety of non-root based chord vamps. See page 325, “Diatonic Scale Superimposition.” I strongly suggest you read the appendices several times after paging through the book. They include important information on: • Scale and chord superimposition • Major scale construction and scale to “parallel • Practice techniques and suggestions major” comparison (used to determine the • Melodic harmony and how to create your own “flavor” of a scale). chord vamps • The circle of 4ths (the twelve keys) • Definitions of important terms Each scale in this book can be classified into one of the following five types: 1. Harmonic System There are four harmonic systems (parent scales) used in Western music: major, harmonic minor, melodic minor (jazz minor) and harmonic major. Each one of these systems produces distinct modes that are derived by emphasizing different starting places within the scale. Each of these modes has its own unique tonality or sound. 2. Symmetric Symmetric scales are constructed from a repeating interval or set of intervals that equally divides the octave. These scales do not produce modes. A good example of this type of scale is the whole tone scale, constructed entirely of whole steps    (for example, C-D-E-F -G -A -C). 3. Hybrid Hybrid scales may contain elements of two or more common scales or may contain one or more “passing” or “chromatic” tones. For example, the bebop dominant scale (page 208) can be described as the Mixolydian mode (page 293, the 5th mode of  the major scale, page 272) with a chromatic tone between the 7 and the root (C-D-E-F-G-A-B-B-C). In this book, hybrid also refers to any non-harmonic system or non-pentatonic variation. 4. Pentatonic Pentatonic usually refers to a five-note variation of the major scale and its relative minor. In this book, however, pentatonic scales include any five-note scale. 5. Exotic Any scale that is derived from a non-Western tradition. In this book, exotic scales are applied in a Western context. For example, Kumoi (page 249), a traditional Japanese scale, is applied in a minor/Major 9 harmonic context. This book provides you with a wealth of musical scales or “flavors” but more importantly, it will help you learn ways of opening new creative pathways. Enjoy!

Aeolian (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8) The Aeolian mode is the 6th mode of the major scale. It is commonly referred to as natural minor, the relative minor scale of the major scale. Diatonically, it works with ii, iii, or vi. In a modal context,  Aeolian lends itself to a minor triad or the min7 13 chord. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page includes a minor  triad and a min7 13 chord.

   Aeolian 11 (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

 The Aeolian 11 scale is an interesting, seven-note hybrid scale that can be thought of as a combination of Lydian and Aeolian (the 4th  and 6th modes of the major scale). Aeolian 11 contains elements of both. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page accents   all the key elements of Aeolian 11. Also try using Aeolian 11 within   an altered dominant context (remember, 3 = 9).

Aeolian Major (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

The Aeolian major scale is the 5th mode of the jazz minor scale  (page 247). It is also referred to as Mixolydian 6. Functionally, or modally, it can substitute for a dominant sus-type scale. It can also be used as an altered dominant sound. Aeolian major’s altered dominant application is illustrated in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page. The particular chords being emphasized are   the 7 13 and 7 9.

Ake Bono (1 2 3 5  6 8)

Ake Bono is a traditional five-note Japanese scale. In a Western context, it can be thought of as a pentatonic version of the Aeolian mode (page 193, the 6th mode of the major scale, page 272). This  scale works particularly well with a minor triad or a min7 13 chord. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as the one for Aeolian. Emphasize the scale’s lowered 6th degree  over the Fmin7 13 chord in the first measure.

Altered Dominant (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

The altered dominant scale is the 7th mode of the jazz minor scale Altered Dominant  (page 247). It is also known as the Super Locrian mode, Locrian 4 and the diminished whole tone scale (scale degrees 1-5 form a symmetrical diminished scale (page 309) and scale degrees 4-1 form a whole b6 b7 b2 b3 b4 b5 1 8 tone scale (page 318). In a dominant 7 context, this scale contains  T 1 the root, 3rd and 7 of the dominant chord and includes all of the 1 3 A     1 2 4 available altered tensions: 9, 9, 11 and 13. The altered dominant 3 4 B scale is commonly used in functional harmony to give tension to the V7 chord. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page uses a variety of altered dominant sounds to illustrate the effectiveness of this scale. This scale is a very important part of the jazz vocabulary. Keep in mind that you don’t have to emphasize all of the altered tensions in this scale when soloing.

Altered Dominant 7 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

   The altered dominant 7 scale (or Locrian 4 7) is the 7th mode of the harmonic minor scale (page 239). This scale sounds dominant because it is an extension of the 5th mode of the harmonic minor (Phrygian major, page 299). It contains the major 3rd and all the     altered tensions ( 9, 9, 11 and 13). Since the scale contains a diminished 7 chord, it makes an interesting substitute for the symmetrical diminished scale (page 309). The chords of the vamp  at the bottom right corner of the page are built on 2 (B min, ii)  and the root (A 7, I) of the scale. Altered dominant 7 can also  be used over an altered dominant sound, even though the 7 is  absent (the altered tensions make up for the 7’s absence).

  Augmented (1 2 3 5 5 7 8)

The augmented scale is a symmetrical scale (it is built from a repeating set of intervals) constructed by alternating augmented 2nds and half steps. It can be viewed as two augmented triads an augmented 2nd apart from each other. Normally, this scale is used over augmented  chords. It can, however, be used with a major 7 5 chord. In the  vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, the Maj7 5 sound is explored. The 2nd and 4th scale degrees tend to act like non-chord  tones (approach or leading tones) that lead us to the 3 and the 5  of the Maj7 5 chord.

Augmented  9 (1 2 3 3 4 5  6 6 7 8)

 The augmented 9 scale is a nine-note hybrid scale that produces augmented triads built on every scale degree. It contains nine  augmented triads. Augmented 9 also resembles the altered dominant scale (page 197, the 7th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247) in  that it contains all the altered tensions except the 5 and does not   include the 7. This scale is called augmented 9 to differentiate it  from the augmented 9 scale, page 201). Obviously, the augmented 9 can be applied to an augmented harmony, but it also works effectively in a min/Maj7 harmonic context. The vamp utilizes a V-I progression in melodic or harmonic minor (G7alt. to Cmin/Maj7). The augmented  9 scale contains pitches that work specifically for both chords.

 Augmented Dominant (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The augmented dominant scale is a seven-note hybrid scale that resembles the Mixolydian mode (page 293, the 5th mode of the major scale, page 272) with an augmented 5th scale degree. The scale  yields a dominant 7 chord with the 5 altered tension and can be applied to any altered dominant context. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page shows how the augmented dominant scale, as specific as it may be, can be used successfully with a variety of altered dominant chord-types.

Augmented Minor/Major 7 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The augmented minor/major scale is a seven-note hybrid scale that  resembles the jazz minor (page 247) scale with a 5. It can also be thought as a variation of the bebop melodic minor (page 211) which has  a chromatic passing tone between the 5th and 6th degrees. The 5 in this scale acts as a chromatic approach tone to the 6th scale degree. Augmented minor/major can be used within any minor/major 7 chord application. The harmony outlined in this vamp is the minor/major  9 chord (it is the same vamp as for melodic minor). The 5 of the scale should be used as a quick chromatic approach to the 6. Hanging on that pitch for too long results in a great deal of dissonance. Try substituting thisPosition scale for any minor/major 7 application. Single-String Fingering Open

Auxiliary Diminished, Whole/Half (1 2 3 4 5  6 6 7 8)

Auxiliary Diminished, Whole/Half

The auxiliary diminished scale alternates between whole and half step intervals and contains eight tones. Each degree of the scale produces a diminished 7 chord which, because of the scale’s symmetry, can substitute for each other. This whole-step/halfstep scale is a perfect choice for playing over a diminished 7 chord. The half-step/whole-step version of this scale is known as the symmetrical diminished scale (page 309) and is usually used over an altered dominant 7 chord. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page uses the diminished 7 chord to illustrate the auxiliary diminished sound. Single-String Fingering Open Position

  Banshiki Cho (1 3 4 5 7 8)

Banshiki-Cho is a traditional, five-note Japanese scale. In a Western context, it can be thought of as a pentatonic version of the Dorian mode (page 231, the 2nd mode of the major scale, page 272) with   an added 5. This scale can be applied used over minor 7 5 chord or in a natural minor harmonic context. The vamp at the bottom  right corner of the page is the same as for the Minor 6/11 Pentatonic  scale (page 284). Banshiki-Cho, however, emphasizes the 7, making it a perfect choice for this progression.

Bebop Dominant (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 8)

The bebop scales are the traditional Ionian (major, page 272) Dorian (page 231) and Mixolydian (page 293) modes of the major and jazz minor (page 247) scales with an added chromatic passing tone. The bebop dominant scale is the Mixolydian mode (the 5th mode of the major scale) with a chromatic passing tone between the 7 and the root. This scale works well over dominant 7 chords and over I7 - IV7 progressions. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, the I7 - IV7 progression provides a background for improvising with this scale. Also try using it over an unaltered, stationary dominant chord.

The bebop Dorian scale is the Dorian mode (page 231, the 2nd mode of the major scale, page 272) with a chromatic passing tone between the 3rd and the 4th degrees of the scale. This scale works well over stationary minor 7 chords or within a I - IV progression. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, a stationary min7 chord provides the background for improvising with the bebop Dorian scale. Also try using it over a iimin7 - V7 progression.

 Bebop Major (1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8)

The bebop major scale is the Ionian mode (page 272, 1st mode of the major scale) with a chromatic passing note between the 4th and the 5th degrees of the scale. Another variation on the bebop major, perhaps a more traditional approach, would be to place the chromatic passing tone between the 5th and 6th degrees. This scale works well over major 7th and major 6th chords or a major triad. Like all the bebop scales, the chromatic passing tone adds a bit of tension to the situation which is quickly resolved. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, a stationary Maj9 chord provides the background for improvising Single-String Fingering Open Position with the bebop major scale.

Bhairon (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

Bhairon is a seven-note Indian raga (scale) which is also known as the Persian scale. In a Western context, it resembles harmonic  major (page 238) with a 2 altered tension. Bhairon can also be applied in a Phyrgian mode (page 297, the 2nd mode of the major scale, page 272) context with the natural 7 scale degree acting as a leading tone. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page illustrates using Bhairon as a Phrygian substitute. Try using it as an alternative to the various Phrygian-type scales (pages 297-302).

  Buzurg (1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8) Buzurg

Buzurg is an eight-note Arabian scale. It can substituted for an altered dominant scale (page 197, the 7th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247) or in a minor pentatonic blues context (see page 291). If the 5th scale degree is emphasized, Buzurg takes on an altered dominant sound (see page 197). With the focus on the 5th degree as the   root, this scale could be interpreted as: 1-9-3-11- 5-13- 7-7-8. The natural 7th scale degree acts as a chromatic passing tone (as in the bebop scales, pages 208-211). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page explores the altered dominant application of this scale.

   Chromatic (1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5  6 6 7 7 8)

The chromatic scale contains all twelve pitches of an octave arranged in consecutive half steps. Music that is said to contain chromaticism makes extensive use of the chromatic scale. The chromatic scale (or portions of it) can be applied in any circumstance. It is simply a matter of resolving the chromatic motion or activity to a stable, diatonic tonality. To play chromatically means to emphasize halfstep activity. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, the chord progression encourages chromaticism because of its half step motion. Try playing small portions of the scale over this vamp and learn to resolve to chord tones.

Chromatic Augmented (1 2 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 8)

The chromatic augmented scale is a nine-note scale that alternates between two half steps and one whole step (H-H-W-H-H-W and   so on). You can create an augmented triad and a Maj7 5 11) chord from the root of this scale. As with the semitone tritone scales (pages 236, 311 and 317), the half steps in the chromatic augmented scale can be viewed as passing or leading tones to certain chord tones. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page outlines some of the particular harmonies found in this scale.

Darbari (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 7 8)

Darbari is as eight-note Indian raga (scale). In a Western context, it could be considered a bebop version of the Aeolian mode (page 193, the 6th mode of the major scale, page 272) because of the passing  tone between 7 and 8. Darbari makes an interesting substitution for the Aeolian mode. The harmony outlined in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page supports the Aeolian nature of this  scale. The passing tone between 7 and 8 gives Darbari a jazz sound.

   Diminished Blues (1 2 3 3 5 6 7 8)

The diminished blues scale is a symmetrical scale that resembles the symmetrical diminished scale (page 309) except that it is divided by the interval of a major 3rd (H-W-H-major 3rd-H-H-W). It contains the dominant 7th chord accompanied by “blues-oriented” tensions,   the 9 and 9. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the  same as the Phrygian 6 scale vamp (page 300)—an altered dominant-type situation. Try altering between the two scale choices.

Diminished Tritonic (1  3 4 5 8)

The diminished tritonic scale is a four-note hybrid that can be considered a variation on the tritonic scale (page 314). A tritonic scale is built with three pitches arranged in ascending order from  root to octave root. This form has a lowered 5th ( 5) and an added  pitch, the 3. These two variations together with the root produce   a diminished sound. This tritonic scale consists of: Root, 3, 4, 5  and an octave root, and is particularly useful for min7 5 applications. Like triads, tritonic scales can be used as harmonic or non-harmonic sources for improvisation.

Dominant  5 (1 2 3 4  5 6 7 8)

 The Dominant 5 scale is a seven-note hybrid scale that closely resembles the Mixolydian mode (page 293, the 5th mode of the major  scale, page 272) with an altered 5 ( 5). This scale works specifically with a 7 5 chord. It can also be used in other altered dominant contexts. The vamp in the lower right corner of this page is the  same as for the Lydian 7 scale (page 257, the 4th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247). Both choices work particularly well with  the 7 5 chord.

   The dominant 5 9 9 scale is a seven-note hybrid scale that can be    applied specifically to a dominant 7th chord with 5, 9 and 9 altered tensions. It is very similar to the altered dominant scale (page 197, the 7th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247), so it can also be applied to any altered dominant situation.

  Dominant 9 9  13 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

   The dominant 9 9 13 scale is a seven-note hybrid scale that contains a      dominant 7 chord (remember 4=3) with the 9, 9 and 13 ( 6) altered tensions. It is very similar to the altered dominant scale (page 197, the 7th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247) except that it does  not contain the 11 altered tension. It can, however, be used in any altered dominant situation, so the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the altered dominant. If a dominant 7 chord contains an altered tension, numerous altered dominant-type scales may be used, even if a particular tension is not in the harmony. The result will be tension where tension is required.

Dominant  13 Pentatonic (1 3 5 6 7 8)

 The dominant 13 pentatonic scale is five-note scale that works  specifically with a 7 13 chord. It can be considered a pentatonic version of the Aeolian Major scale (page 195, the 6th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247). Along with its altered dominant application,  dominant 13 pentatonic may also be used in a Phrygian context (pages 297-302). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page  uses the 7 13 chord to illustrate this scale’s specific application. Try substituting this scale in any altered dominant or Phrygian context.

Dominant sus4 13 Pentatonic (1 2 4  6 7 8)

 The dominant sus4 13 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be  used over a dominant 7 chord with a suspended 4 and an added 13   altered tension (7sus 13). It can be substituted for other 7sus 13-type  scales, including the major 6 pentatonic scale (page 275) and the Aeolian Major scale (page 195, the 5th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247). The vamp uses two altered dominant suspended chords. Try using the  dominant sus4 13 pentatonic scale for Phrygian applications (pages 297-302) as well.

Dominant 9 Pentatonic (1 2 3 5 7 8)

The dominant 9 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale which may be applied to a dominant 7 chord with an added 9. It can be considered a pentatonic version of the Mixolydian mode (page 293, the 5th mode of the major scale, page 272). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the Mixolydian mode. Try altering between the two scale choices.

Dominant 13 (1 2 3 5 6  7 8)

The dominant 13 scale is a six-note hybrid scale with a specific dominant 13 chord or dominant 9/13 chord application. It can be considered a six-note version of the Mixolydian mode (page 293, the 5th mode of the major scale, page 272). The omission of the 4th scale degree gives this scale its specific emphasis on the 9 and 13 tensions. The harmony outlined in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is a dominant 7 chord with an added 13 tension. Use the dominant 13 scale to emphasize the essence of this type of harmony.

The dominant 13 sus4 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be played over a dominant 7 chord with a suspended 4 and an Dominant 13 added 13 tension (13sus). It has a very specific application. It can be substituted for other unaltered dominant-type scales including: the Mixolydian mode (page 293, the 5th mode of the major scale, 1 2 page 272) and the dominant 9 pentatonic scale (page 228). The T vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for A 0 3 the Mixolydian mode. In the context of this progression, this scale B emphasizes the 11 and 13 tensions.

Dorian (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The Dorian mode is the 2nd mode of the major scale (page 272). The Dorian mode generates a min7 chord, which is very common, found in both functional and modal harmonic settings. Many players will superimpose the Dorian mode over other chords, for example: D Dorian over a G7 chord. This emphasizes desirable chord tensions or color tones of the G7. A good example of the use of Dorian can be found in the tune So What from Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue.” The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page below illustrates Dorian over three minor-type chords. The Amin6 in the last measure emphasizes the very colorful 13 tension.

   Dorian 4 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

 The Dorian 4 scale is the 4th mode of the harmonic minor scale  (page 239). Dorian 4 is a rather specific sound. It can be used as a substitute for the Dorian mode (page 231), which produces a brighter sound, or the Locrian mode (page 251). If the 5 is omitted in the voicing, the sound is half diminished. The first measure of the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page demonstrates  how Dorian 4 works within a minor context. The second measure  utilizes the 4 in the voicing itself.

Dorian  5 (1 2  3 4 5 6 7 8)

 The Dorian 5 scale is the 2nd mode of the harmonic major scale  (page 238). The scale contains a min7 5 chord, which makes it a good substitute for the various Locrian modes: Locrian (page 251),   Locrian 2 (page 253) and Locrian 6 (page 254). The vamp at the  bottom right corner of the page uses the min7 5 chord to  illustrate the specific application of Dorian 5. Use this scale as a substitute for the various Locrian-type sounds.

Dorian Pentatonic (1 2  3 5 7 8)

The Dorian pentatonic scale is a five-note version of the Dorian mode (page 231, the 2nd mode of the major scale, page 272). It is also known as the Pygmy scale from Rwanda, Africa. The scale forms a min7 chord with an added 9, making it useful for any Dorian situation. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the Dorian mode. The chords clearly emphasize the various flavors of the scale (min, min7 and min6).

  Egyptian (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

The Egyptian scale is an interesting seven-note hybrid that resembles  the harmonic minor scale (page 239) with an added 11 altered tension. The name comes from its unique North African sound. This scale can be applied as a substitute for the altered dominant scale (page 197). The harmony outlined in the vamp at the bottom right   corner of the page is an altered dominant 7 chord, A 7 5. Building the Egyptian scale starting on the 3rd of this chord produces the   following chord/scale relationship: C=3rd of the chord, D= 5, E =5,   G = 7, G=7 (which acts as a passing or leading tone, as in the bebop   scales), A =root and B= 9. In this context, the Egyptian scale provides important chord tones, altered tensions and passing tones.

Four-Semitone Tritone (1  2 2 3 3  4 5  6 6 7 8)

The four-semitone tritone scale is a eleven-note scale consisting of a pattern of four semitones (half steps) followed by a major 2nd interval (two half steps) that is repeated. It is a relatively new symmetrical scale that improvisers have been experimenting with recently. Depending on the application, the half steps in this scale could be viewed as passing or leading tones to certain chord tones. The chord built off the root of this scale is a dominant 7. Used in a dominant application, this scale provides the following natural and altered     tensions: 9, 9, 9, 11, 13 and 13. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page centers around the scale’s altered dominant capacity. Single-String Fingering Open Position

Goonkali (1 2 4 5 6 8)

Goonkali is a traditional five-note Indian raga (scale). In a Western   context, Goonkali translates into a sus4 9 13 pentatonic scale, which makes it an excellent substitution for any Phrygian (pages 297-302) or altered dominant-type choice. Goonkali emphasizes the 4th   degree, giving it a suspended quality, and includes the 9 and 13 altered tensions found in many dominant 7 applications. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for Phrygian (page 297). It emphasizes both Phrygian and sus4 altered uses.

Harmonic Major (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

The harmonic major scale is constructed by the following sequence Harmonic Major of whole (W) and half (H) steps: W-W-H-W-H-W+H (augmented 2nd)-H. Like the harmonic minor scale (page 239), the augmented  2nd interval ( 6-7) gives this scale its characteristic sound. The b6 harmonic major scale provides seven interesting modes that are 2 3 1 4 5 7 8 T found in a variety of contexts. They are: 1st mode=Harmonic 0 1 0 1    A 0 2 3 Major 9 (Ionian 6), 2nd mode=Dorian 5, 3rd mode=Phrygian 4, 3 B   4th mode=Lydian 3, 5th mode=Mixolydian 9, 6th mode=Lydian   Augmented 2 and 7th mode=Locrian 7. These modes may be thought of as “exotic” or altered versions of their unaltered counterparts. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, harmonic major is superimposed over a chord with a different root. G Harmonic Major over the chord B/C produces a B Altered       Dominant sound (G= 13, A= 7, B=root, C= 9, D= 9, E =3 and F =5).

Harmonic Minor (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

The harmonic minor scale is constructed by the following sequence Harmonic Minor of whole (W) and half (H) steps: W-H-W-W-H-W+H (augmented  2nd)-H. The augmented 2nd ( 6-7) gives this scale its characteristic sound. The harmonic minor scale also produces seven interesting modes that can be useful in a variety of contexts. They are: 1st mode=harmonic b3 b6 2 1 4 5 7 8   T minor (Aeolian 7), 2nd mode=Locrian 6 (page 254), 3rd mode=Ionian 0 1 0 1  A 0 1 3 augmented (page 244), 4th mode=Dorian 4 (page 232), 5th 3 B  mode=Phrygian major (page 299), 6th mode=Lydian 9 (page 258) and 7th  mode=altered dominant 7 (page 198). Because of its leading tone, the  harmonic minor scale works well over a ii-V progression (iimin7 5-V7alt.). The vamp below illustrates this scale’s use within a minor ii-V progression. The leading tone (raised 7th degree) is actually 3 of the V7 chord, which makes this scale a great choice for this progression.

Harmonic Minor  5 (1 2  3 4 5  6 7 8)

 The harmonic minor 5 scale is a seven-note hybrid scale that  resembles a harmonic minor scale (page 239) with a 5. It can be superimposed in an altered dominant context. The harmony outlined in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is quite specific to the scale. The chord E/E was formed by spelling  a major triad built on the 7th degree of the E Harmonic Minor 5     scale (D -G-B = E -G-B ). The bass line contains pitches from the scale. The end result is a dissonant, altered dominant sound. With  the 2nd scale degree, F as the root, this chord could be construed         as F 13 9 (E /D =13, G= 9, B /A =3rd, E= 7).

Harmonic Sus4 (1 2 4 5  6 7 8)

The harmonic sus4 scale is a six-note hybrid scale that resembles  the harmonic minor scale (page 239) with the 3rd scale degree omitted. The harmonic sus4 scale can be construed as a suspended 4th version of the harmonic minor scale, and so it can be applied to harmonic minor situations. It can also be viewed as a substitute for the altered dominant scale (page 197). The scale degrees are:  1, 2, sus4 (11), 5, 13, 7 (which acts as a leading tone to the root), 8. The vamp at the bottom right illustrates the scale’s altered dominant application. The harmony outlined reflects the special  tones of the scale (sus4 and 13). Try using this scale in any altered dominant context.

Hungarian Major (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

The Hungarian major scale is an interesting seven-note scale that can  be applied in various Locrian (pages 251-254) or min7 5 contexts. It   contains both the 6 and natural 6 ( 7) scale degrees, which makes it a particularly colorful choice. The vamp at the bottom right of  the page is the same as for the Locrian 2 scale (page 253, the 6th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247). Experiment with the two types of 6th scale degrees.

Ionian  5 (1 2 3 4  5 6 7 8)

 The Ionian 5 scale is a hybrid scale that resembles the Ionian mode (page 272, the 1st mode of the major scale) with a flatted 5th  degree. Ionian 5 is similar in applications to the Lydian augmented scale (page 260, 3rd mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247). It   can be used with a Maj7 5 or Maj7 11. Within these applications,  consider the 4th scale degree a passing tone to the 5. The vamp  at the bottom right corner of the page uses the Maj7 5 sound to  explore the Ionian 5 scale.

 Ionian Augmented (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The Ionian augmented scale is the 3rd mode of the harmonic minor scale (page 239). It can be substituted for the Lydian augmented scale (page 260) resulting in a softer, less harsh sound. Its functional and modal usage is similar to Lydian augmented. The two chords   in the vamp below emphasize the 5 (AMaj7 5) and the natural 11 (B /A) scale degrees. Remember to avoid the natural 11 in Maj7th voicings (the 11 right next to the 3 produces an unwanted minor 2nd dissonance).

Iraq (1  2 3 4 5 6 7 7 8)

Iraq is an eight-note Arabian scale. In a Western context, Iraq can be viewed as a bebop version of the Locrian mode (page 251, the 7th mode of the major scale, page 272). Remember that the bebop-type scales add passing tones. The passing tone in this scale acts as the leading tone to the root. The vamp at the bottom right is the same as for the Locrian mode. Iraq makes an excellent alternative in any Locrian context. The passing tone imparts a jazz quality to the scale.

Iwato (1 2 4 5 7 8) Iwato

Iwato is a traditional five-note Japanese scale. In a Western context,   Iwato translates into a dominant sus 5 9 pentatonic scale, which may be applied to an altered dominant sound. Iwato emphasizes the 4th degree, giving it a suspended quality. Even though the 3 is not in    the scale, the presence of the 7, with the 5 and 9 altered tensions, makes Iwato a good altered dominant pentatonic choice.The vamp at the bottom right illustrates how Iwato can be used in an altered dominant context. Both chords emphasize the important aspects    of this scale: the 4, 5, 7 and 9.

Jazz Minor/Melodic Minor (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The jazz minor (or melodic minor, ascending*) is constructed by the Jazz Minor following sequence of whole (W) and half (H) steps: W, H, W, W   , W,  W, H. The jazz minor scale produces seven interesting modes found in a variety of contexts. They are: 1st mode=jazz minor   b3 (Ionian 3), 2nd mode=Phrygian 6, 3rd mode=Lydian Augmented, 4th 2 4 5 6 7 1 8   T 0 1 mode=Lydian 7, 5th mode=Aeolian major , 6th mode=Locrian 2 and 0 2 A 0 1 3 7th mode=altered dominant. As you can see, the names of these 3 B modes are variations on the names of the major (page 272) scale modes. Three of these modes are altered dominant-oriented (Lydian     dominant,Open Aeolian major and altered dominant) and work well over dominant 7 chords containing altered tensions ( 9, 9, 5, 13).

Kokin-Choshi (1 2 4 5 7 8) Kokin-Choshi

Kokin-Choshi is a traditional five-note Japanese scale. In a Western  context, Kokin-Choshi translates into a dominant sus 9 pentatonic scale, which may be applied to a Phrygian (pages 297-302) or altered  dominant (page 197) sound. It works particularly well with a 7sus 9 chord. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the Phrygian (page 297).

Kumoi (1 2  3 5 6 8) Kumoi

Kumoi is a traditional five-note Japanese scale. In a Western context, Kumoi translates into a minor 6 pentatonic scale, which may be used to play over min6 or a min/Maj7 sounds. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the jazz minor scale (page 247). Try alternating between the two choices.

 Leading-Tone Blues (1 4 6 7 7 8) Leading-Tone Blues

The leading-tone blues scale is an interesting five-note scale that  resembles a pentatonic version of the Lydian 7 scale (page 257, the 4th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247) with an added passing  tone (the leading tone, a major 7 above the root) between 7 and   8. There is a strong emphasis on the 4 and the 7, which gives the  scale a distinctive 7 11 application. The vamp at the bottom right  corner of the page is the same as for Lydian 7. The passing tone  between the 7 and 8 helps provide a stronger resolution to the  root. Try substituting the this scale for any 7 11 or in any minor pentatonic blues (page 291) context.

Locrian (1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The Locrian mode is the 7th mode of the major scale (page 272). It  is interpreted as a min7 5 (half-diminished) sound. Locrian is the  diatonic chord scale for the vii chord in a major key, but Locrian 2 (page 253) is a better choice for the ii chord in a minor key (also   a min7 5). Both will work in the context of ii7 5-V-I progression.  The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page uses the min7 5 chord to illustrate the use of the Locrian mode. The original bebop  musicians seemed to prefer Locrian in a min7 5 context.

Locrian 7

 The Locrian 7 scale is the 7th mode of the harmonic major scale (page 238). This scale is a variation on the Locrian mode (page 251, the 7th mode of the major scale, page 272) and can be used  as a substitute for the various Locrian modes (Locrian, Locrian 2,  page 253 and Locrian 6, page 254). The absence of a “real” 7th scale degree, in combination with the augmented 2nd interval from  7 to 1, makes this Locrian variation particularly melodic. The vamp  at the bottom right corner of the page captures the Locrian 7   sound by using the min7 5 and accenting the scale’s 7 (A) found in the F+/E chord.

 Locrian 2 (1 2  3 4  5  6  7 8)

 The Locrian 2 scale is the 6th mode of the jazz minor scale (page 247). The natural 9 (2) gives this mode a bit more stability as compared to   the Locrian mode (page 251), which has a 2 degree. Locrian 2 can be  used with any min7 5 chord in a functional progression. This particular variation on the Locrian mode is popular among jazz musicians. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page uses all the pitches in the scale except the natural 2. If you emphasize the 2, you’ll really hear the special quality of that pitch. Try substituting this scale for any Locrian application.

 The Locrian 6 scale is the 2nd mode of the harmonic minor scale   (page 239). Locrian 6 produces a min7 5 (half diminished) chord with a natural 13th tension. This scale is not as common as the other Locrian choices, but it will work as a substitute. The vamp  in E at the bottom right corner of the page illustrates Locrian 6’s  min7 5 application but also includes a chord (F+/E) that is specific   to this scale because it includes the natural 6, C .

 Lydian (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The Lydian mode is the 4th mode of the major scale (Ionian mode,  page 272). The 4 of the scale provides a colorful alternative to the  Maj7/Ionian sound. Modally, the 4 is usually voiced in the upper  structure of the chord as a 11. The sound of the Lydian mode is tense, aggressive and expansive. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page expresses the essence of the Lydian sound by  emphasizing the 3, 7 and 11 of the chord. Try centering around these pitches when improvising with this scale.

   Lydian 3 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

 The Lydian 3 scale is the 4th mode of the harmonic major scale (page 238). This scale is a variation on the Lydian mode (page 255) of the major scale (page 272) and it works well over a min6/9 chord  in either a functional or modal harmonic situation. The 4 acts as a chromatic passing tone to 5. The vamp in A at the bottom right corner of the page utilizes the min6/9 chord (second measure) and  a Phrygian-type voicing (page 297) built on the 7th scale degree (G   or A ) in measure one (A /A).

  Lydian 7 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7)

 The Lydian 7 scale is the 4th mode of the jazz minor scale (page 247). It is often referred to as Lydian dominant and is often used over a  tritone substitution ( II7-I) context. The vamp in F at the bottom  right corner of the page below illustrates the Lydian 7 scale with a   7 5 13 chord. This scale can be used as a substitute for any altered dominant situation.

   Lydian 9 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

 The Lydian 9 scale is the 6th mode of the harmonic minor scale (page 239). It can used as a substitute for the Lydian mode (page 255) to produce a   brighter sound. The 2 ( 9) acts as a chromatic passing tone to the 3rd  degree. Lydian 9 also works well over a VII/I voicing (for example,  A /A). In measure one of the vamp in A at the bottom right corner of  the page, make sure to use the 9 as a passing tone. In measure two,  however, the 9 should be stressed as an important chord tone.

 Lydian 6/9 Pentatonic (1 2 4 5 6 8)

The Lydian 6/9 pentatonic scale is a five-note that works well with major (page 272) and Lydian (page 255) sounds. It can be thought of as a pentatonic version of the Lydian mode (the 4th mode of the   major scale). Along with the 4 ( 11), this scale emphasizes the 9 and 13 tensions, making it a very colorful pentatonic choice. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the major 6 diminished scale (page 276). It includes one Maj6 chord. The tensions emphasized in this scale add color to this very stable tonality. Try substituting this scale for Lydian or major 6 diminished.

  Lydian Augmented (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The Lydian augmented scale is the 3rd mode of the jazz minor scale (page 247). It is commonly found in contemporary jazz harmony.  Functionally, Lydian augmented may be used for the Maj7 or Maj7 11 sound. It also works well with a dominant 7 chord voiced with the 7th in the bass. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, both of these applications are explored with G+Maj7 and A7 (with the 7 in the bass). Also try using the Lydian augmented scale for  augmented ( 5) situations.

    Lydian Augmented 2 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

 The Lydian augmented 2 scale, another version of the Lydian mode (page 255), is the 6th mode of the harmonic major scale (page 238). However, the raised 2nd scale degree renders this scale unusable in a normal Lydian context. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, this scale is being used in an altered dominant   context: B7 9 voiced with the 9 (C) in the bass. This is a rather specific context.

Lydian Augmented Pentatonic (1 2  4  5 6 8)

The Lydian augmented pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that  works specifically with Lydian (page 255) or Maj7aug 11 sounds. It can be viewed as a pentatonic version of the Lydian augmented scale (page 260, the 3rd mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247).  The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page explores the 5  and 11 qualities of the scale by using the following 7 chords: B/G (G+Maj7) and A7/G (A7 with the 7th in the bass). Try using this scale over augmented triads as well.

  Lydian Diminished (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

 The Lydian diminished scale is the same scale as the Lydian 3 scale (page 256). Its application, however, is quite different. It is called Lydian diminished because the scale contains a diminished 7 chord  (built on the root) and a Major 7 11 Lydian chord (built on the 3rd degree). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page provides a diminished chord situation for the use of this scale.

Lydian Dominant 13 Pentatonic (1 3  4 6 7 8) Lydian Dominant 13 Pentatonic

The Lydian dominant 13 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be  thought of as a pentatonic version of the Lydian 7 (page 257, the 4th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247). This scale differs from other  Lydian 7 pentatonic types by emphasizing the 3rd scale degree, which makes this version the most obvious Lydian dominant choice. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page below clearly outlines  the dominant 13 11 harmony and how this specific scale is applied.

Lydian Dominant 9 Pentatonic (1 2  4 6 7 8) Lydian Dominant 9 Pentatonic

Lydian Dominant 9 Pentatonic

The Lydian dominant 9 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that works  well with Lydian dominant (7 5) tonalities. It can be thought of as a  pentatonic version of the Lydian 7 scale (page 257, the 4th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247). Even considering the absence of the 3rd degree, this scale clearly defines the Lydian dominant sound. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same for     Lydian 7. The harmony is 7 5 ( 5 can be viewed as the 4—the Lydian altered tension). This pentatonic version is a poignant  substitute for Lydian 7. Single-String Fingering Open Position

Lydian Harmonic Major  9 (1  2 3  4 5  6 7 8)

 The Lydian harmonic major 9 is an interesting, seven-note hybrid scale that contains elements from various scales. It can be described as a  harmonic major scale (page 238) with Lydian characteristics ( 4 and  9). This scale can be applied to the specific harmony that the scale produces. It can also be used in a superimposed altered dominant context. The first measure of the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page was derived from the diatonic harmony of the scale (C/   E and E +). The second measure uses an altered dominant sound  (C7 9). This scale contains the leading tone, which can be used as a chromatic passing tone to the tonic (as in some of the bebop scales).

 Lydian Harmonic Major (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

The Lydian harmonic major scale is a seven-note hybrid scale that  can be considered a Lydian ( 4) version of the harmonic major scale   (page 238). Since the 4 ( 11) is an acceptable tension on the major 7 chord (the harmony based on the root of the harmonic major), Lydian harmonic major can work in the same contexts as harmonic major. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the harmonic major scale. It is a superimposed context. The harmony (B/C) defines the essence of the C Lydian Harmonic Major.

The Lydian pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be thought of as a pentatonic version of the Lydian mode (page 255, the 4th mode of the major scale, page 272). It is also known as the traditional Japanese scale, Shimo-Chidori.

 Lydian Sus2 Pentatonic (1 2 4 6 7 8)

The Lydian sus2 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that works  specifically with a Maj7sus2 11 sound. It can be thought of as another pentatonic version of the Lydian mode (page 255, the 4th mode of the major scale, page 272). The emphasis on the 2nd scale degree (or the 9) is what makes this a scale with such a highly specific application. The vamp at the lower right corner of the page  uses the specific harmony generated by this scale (Maj7sus2 11). This scale can also be used for any Lydian (or major) context.

    Lydiphrygian 6 (1 2 3 4 5 6  7 8)

The Lydiphrygian scale is an interesting seven-note hybrid scale that can viewed as a combination of the Lydian mode (page 255, the 4th  mode of the major scale, page 272) and the Phrygian 6 scale shown on page 300 (the 2nd mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247). The scale contains elements of both. It can also be seen as an altered  dominant-type scale without the 3rd scale degree (the 3 is now  a 9). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page outlines a harmonic context that emphasizes elements of this scale. The accidentals in each chord voicing reflect the notes as they appear in the scale. Try using Lydiphrygian in an altered dominant context as well.

Major (Ionian) (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8) The major scale and its harmonic system has been the foundation Major (Ionian) of Western music for over five hundred years. It is constructed with the following sequence of whole (W) and half (H) steps: W, W, H, W, W, W, H. The major scale generates seven modes: 1st mode=Ionian, 2nd mode=Dorian (page 231), 3rd mode=Phrygian 2 3 4 5 6 1 8 7 T (page 297), 4th mode=Lydian (page 255), 5th mode=Mixolydian (page 0 1 0 2 A 0 2 3 293), 6th mode=Aeolian (page 193) and the 7th mode=Locrian (page B 3 251). All seven modes and their corresponding chords are used in functional, modal and many other harmonic contexts. For functional harmony, the 4th degree is an unwanted dissonance which is avoided. The 4 can resolve to the 3 or be raised up a  half step to the 4. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, the 4th scale degree has been avoided within the chord structures. Remember to use the 4th degree as a passing tone.

Major  2  6 Pentatonic (1 2 3 4  6 8)

  The major 2 6 pentatonic is a five-note scale. It can be thought of as a pentatonic version of the Phrygian major scale (page 299, the 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale). This scale will work in the same contexts as the Phrygian major mode, so the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for that scale. The scale works well in an altered dominant context as illustrated in   measure two. Try substituting the major 2 6 pentatonic scale for other altered dominant choices.

Major  2 Pentatonic (1  2 3 5 6 8)

 The major 2 pentatonic scale is a five-note hybrid scale which  is most commonly applied to a dominant 7 chord with a 9. It substitutes well for many of the altered dominant scale choices and  can be considered a pentatonic version of the Mixolydian 9 scale (page 294). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is  the same as the Mixolydian 9 vamp. Try alternating between the two choices.

 The major 6 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be thought of as pentatonic version of the Aeolian major scale (page 195, the 5th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247).

Major 6 Diminished (1 2 3 4 5  6 6 7 8)

The major 6 diminished scale is basically a Maj6 chord scale with an added chromatic tone between the 5th and 6th degrees. The  addition of this 6 produces a diminished 7 chord built on the 2nd   scale degree (D-F-A -C ). Superimposing this diminished 7 chord over the sound of a Maj6 creates some added tension. To play over the vamp in A at the bottom right corner of the page, try using the diminished 7 chord built on the 2nd scale degree (B).

Like Ionian  augmented, this scale can be used in a Maj7 5 harmonic context  (the scale contains the 5 altered tension). The vamp in A at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for Ionian augmented.   The sound is Maj7 5 and ii /I (B /A) with emphasis on the 5 altered tension.

Major 13 Pentatonic (1 3 5 6 7 8) The major13 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be considered another pentatonic version of the major scale (page 272). It differs from the major pentatonic scale (page 280) by emphasizing the 6th (13th) scale degree, making it a good choice within the specific harmonic context of a Maj7add13. The harmonic progression used in the vamp in G at the bottom right corner of the page is an Asus/G (essentially a Gsus9/13) alternating with a GMaj13 chord. The vamp clearly emphasizes the 13. Try substituting this scale for any major pentatonic application.

Major 13 sus4 Pentatonic (1 2 4 6 7 8) The major 13 sus4 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale which may be used in a major context. When playing over a major 7 chord, care should be taken with the 4th (11th) degree because it creates unwanted tension (the interval between the 3rd and the 4th degree is a minor 2nd, a sound generally avoided on a Maj7). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page has two chords that include major 13 sus4 pentatonic’s inherent tensions: the 9, 11 and the 13.

Major Pentatonic (1 2 3 5 6 8) The major pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that does not contain a tritone or half step. This gives the scale a neutral, non-dissonant quality that lends it a natural, melodic quality. If the tonic (1st degree) of the scale is stressed, it suggests a major sound. If the 5 is stressed, it suggests the relative minor (see minor pentatonic, page 290). The major pentatonic scale is formed by joining consecutive 5ths. For example, starting from C: C-G-D-A-E. Structured in alphabetical order, this becomes 1-2-3-5-6 of a major scale (page 272): C-D-E-G-A. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page illustrates the major pentatonic sound through the use of simple triads and their inversions, which gives it a “gospel” quality.

Major Pentatonic Blues (1 2  3 3 5 6 8)

The major pentatonic blues scale is a six-note scale that is a variation  on the major pentatonic scale (page 280). It includes the 3 degree, (often called a blue note) which moves to the natural 3rd producing the characteristic “blues” sound. This scale works particularly well in a Mixolydian context (page 293, the 5th mode of the major scale, page 272), where the natural 3 is emphasized. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the Mixolydian  mode. Be sure to resolve the 3 up to the natural 3.

  Marwa (1 2 3 4 6 7 8)

Marwa is a six-note Indian raga (scale). In a Western context, it resembles the Lydian mode (page 255, the 4th mode of the major scale,  page 272) with a 9 altered tension and the 5th scale degree omitted. When used in a superimposed context, Marwa can substitute for any  of the minor blues-oriented scales. If the 4 is emphasized, Marwa  takes on a rather minor bluesy sound. With the focus on the 4 as    the root, the scale could be interpreted as: 1- 3-4- 5- 7-8 (the same formula as the minor pentatonic blues scale, page 291). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page explores this superimposed blues sound.

Min/Maj 11 Pentatonic (1  3 4 5 7 8)

The min/Maj 11 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be considered a pentatonic version of the jazz minor (page 247) or harmonic minor (page 239) scales. It can be used in min/Maj7 contexts. In the case of playing over min/Maj7 chords, the natural 4th (11th) scale degree is an acceptable tension. (This scale degree is avoided when playing over Maj7 chords; the combination of the 3rd and 4th degrees produces a minor 2nd interval, which is not acceptable in most cases.) The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page uses a min/Maj9 chord to demonstrate the effectiveness of this interesting pentatonic scale. Use it as a substitute for jazz or harmonic minor.

Minor  6/11 Pentatonic (1  3 4 5  6 8)

 The minor 6/11 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be  applied to specific minor contexts that include the 6 scale degree. Therefore, this scale can be thought of as a pentatonic version of the Aeolian mode (page 193, the 6th mode of the major scale, page 272), harmonic minor (page 239) or the Phrygian mode (page 297, the 2nd mode of the major scale). The vamp at the bottom right corner of   the page emphasizes the 6 ( 13) and 11 by using min7 chords that include those tensions. Try substituting this scale for the Aeolian, harmonic minor and Phrygian scales.

The minor 3rd/minor 2nd scale is a symmetric scale composed of alternating minor 3rd and minor 2nd intervals. The scale produces augmented triads built on each scale degree, which makes it an ideal augmented sound resource. This vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as the vamp for Lydian augmented (page 260). Try alternating between both scale choices.

Minor 6 Diminished (1 2 3 4 5  6 6 7 8) Minor 6 Diminished

The minor 6 diminished scale is basically a nine-note min6 chord scale with an added chromatic tone between the 5th and 6th  degrees. The addition of this 6 creates a diminished 7 chord starting    on the 2nd scale degree: 2-4- 6-7. In C, that’s D-F-A -B or C . In  A, that’s B-D-F-A . Use this chord over the sound of the Amin6 outlined in the vamp in A at the bottom right corner of the page. The result will be some interesting added tension.

Minor 6  9 Pentatonic (1 2 3 4 6 8)

 The minor 6 9 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale which can be  applied in a Phrygian context (page 297) such as over the 7sus13 9 chord. It also substitutes well for many of the Phrygian- or altered dominant-type scales. It can be considered a pentatonic version of the Phrygian mode. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the  page is the same as for Phrygian 6 (page 300). Even though this    scale has a lowered 6 ( 13), it also works well over the E7sus 9 chord. Try alternating between the different Phrygian choices.

 The minor 7 5 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale which may be  applied to the min7 5 chord.

Minor 13 Pentatonic (1 3 5  6 7 8)

The minor 13 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that works specifically with min7 (Dorian mode, page 231, the 2nd mode of the major scale, page 272) harmonies. Minor 13 pentatonic can be considered another pentatonic version of the Dorian mode. It differs from the Dorian pentatonic scale (page 234) by emphasizing perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of the Dorian sound, the natural 6 (13). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the Dorian mode. It clearly outlines the Dorian application by progressing from a simple minor triad to the min7 and finally a min6 chord, which emphasizes the 13 tension.

Minor Pentatonic (1  3 4 5 7 8)

The minor pentatonic scale is the relative minor of the major pentatonic scale (page 280). It is built on the 5th degree of the major pentatonic scale (a major 6th above the root) and produces the whole step (W) half step (H) structure of W+H-W-W-W+H-W. This scale works particularly well in a blues context and is the basis for the “blues scale” (minor pentatonic blues, page 291). Much of the music of West Africa is based on this very pure, melodic scale. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, a min7 chord is used to provide the background for this very popular scale. Think B.B. King, The Thrill is Gone.

  Minor Pentatonic Blues (1 3 4 4 5  7 8)

The minor pentatonic blues scale is very popular among guitarists. It is a variation on the minor pentatonic scale (page 290). This scale    contains the 4 (or 5), which moves to the 5. The 4 alteration,  along with the 7, are at the heart of this scale’s blues sound. The minor pentatonic blues scale can be applied within a major or minor blues context. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page illustrates that even though the scale does not include the major 3rd, it will work over a dominant 7 chord.

 Minor/Major 11 Pentatonic (1 3  4 5 7 8)

 The minor/major 11 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be  thought of as a pentatonic version of the Lydian 3 scale (page 256, the 4th mode of the harmonic major scale, page 238). This scale is a variation on the Lydian pentatonic scale (page 269) and works  well over a min/Maj7 11 chord in a functional or modal situation. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for  Lydian 3. Pentatonic versions of larger scales often carry a bit more weight because of their concentrated nature. Minor/major    11 pentatonic emphasizes the 3, 11 and 7, which together clearly Single-String Fingering Open Position define the harmony. Single-String Fingering Open Position# C min/Maj #11 Pent.

Mixolydian (1 2 3 4 5 6  7 8)

The Mixolydian mode is the 5th mode of the major scale (page 272).  The 7 scale degree gives this mode an unaltered dominant character. Stressing the 3rd scale degree gives a stable, functional dominant quality. Stressing the 4th scale degree creates a suspended quality more typical of a modal context. Check out Herbie Hancock’s Maiden Voyage. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, the dominant sound is expressed with the dominant 9 chord. The suspended or dominant 11 sound is illustrated in the second   measure (A /B ). Try using Mixolydian in your blues playing where the minor pentatonic is usually applied.

Mixolydian  9 (1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

 The Mixolydian 9 scale is the 5th mode of the harmonic major scale  (page 238). Mixolydian 9 is dominant in function. This scale works  specifically with a dominant 13 9 chord. It can be used as a substitute for any altered dominant-type scale. The vamp in A at the bottom right corner of the page illustrates the specific altered dominant use  of Mixolydian 9. You can use any variation of a dominant chord   containing the 9 as a substitute for the A13 9.

Noh (1 2 4 5  5 6 7 8)

Noh is a traditional seven-note Japanese scale. In a Western context it can be viewed as a variation on the Ionian augmented scale (page 244, the 3rd mode of the harmonic minor scale, page 239). Noh contains  no 3 and includes a natural 5. Together, the 5 and the 5 create a passing tone situation to 6. Like the Ionian augmented scale, Noh  can be used within a Maj7 5 context. Care should be taken with 4 since it creates tension against 3.

Pelog (1  2 3 5 6 8)

Pelog is a traditional Javanese five-note scale which can be also be applied in a Phrygian context (page 297). It can be considered a pentatonic version of the Phrygian scale and can substitute for many of the Phrygian or altered dominant scale choices. Pelog differs from other Phrygian pentatonic scales by the inclusion of the 5th scale degree instead of the 4th, which gives the sound a more stable or “tonic” feeling. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page  is the same as for Phrygian. It explores the use of Pelog over II/I   (in this case, the B /A chord) and a sus4 9 chord. Try alternating between Pelog and the other Phrygian choices.

Phrygian (1  2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

The Phrygian mode is the 3rd mode of the major scale (page 272).  Because of the 2, the Phrygian sound is often associated with Spanish themes. Keep in mind that the root position diatonic 7 chord produced from this scale does not reflect the Phrygian sound.   Functionally, Phrygian is interpreted as II/I or as a dominant 7sus 9. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page illustrates both the Spanish and altered dominant sounds of Phrygian.

Phrygian  4 (1  2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

 The Phrygian 4 scale is the 3rd mode of the harmonic major scale (page 238). This scale can be thought of as an altered dominant rather than Phrygian scale. The scales contains a dominant 7 chord    with the following altered tensions: 9, 9 and 13. The inclusion of  a 7 9 in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page illustrates  the altered dominant application of the Phrygian 4 scale. The other altered tensions in the scale provide plenty of color.

Phrygian Major (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

The Phrygian major scale is the 5th mode of the harmonic minor scale (page 239). It is the dominant scale of the harmonic minor system. This is the sound heard in the Jewish folk song, Hava Nagilah. Functionally, Phrygian major works over altered dominant harmonies. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page  demonstrates the use of this scale over both a Phrygian sound (A /G)  and an altered dominant sound (G7 13).

 Phrygian 6 (1  2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

 The Phrygian 6 scale is the 2nd mode of the jazz minor scale (page 247). It is used primarily in modal contexts. It can be interpreted  as a sus4 9 13 chord scale and may be substituted for any altered dominant sound. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the  page includes a sus4 7 9 to illustrate the effectiveness of this  scale. Try using Phrygian 6 over any altered dominant chord.

Phrygian Pentatonic (1  2 4 6 7 8)

The Phrygian pentatonic scale is a five-note scale most commonly  applied over a Phrygian sound such as the 7sus4 13 9 chord. It substitutes well for many of the Phrygian- or altered dominant-type scales and can be considered a pentatonic version of the Phrygian mode (page 297). This vamp is the same as the Phrygian scale vamp. Try alternating between the two choices.

Phrygilydian (1  2 3  4 5  6 7 8)

The Phrygilydian scale is an interesting seven-note hybrid scale that can viewed as a combination of Phrygian and Lydian (pages 297 and 255 respectively, the 3rd and 4th modes of the major scale, page 272). The scale contains elements of both. It can also be seen as an altered   dominant-type scale without the 3rd scale degree (the 3 is now a 9). The vamp in C at the bottom right corner of the page outlines a rather   odd harmonic context, B Maj7sus4 5/A. It is an interesting sound that   can also be construed as an altered dominant chord (A7 9 11 with the 3rd omitted).

Purvi (1  2 3  4 5 6 7 8)

Purvi is a six-note Indian raga (scale). When used in a superimposed context, Purvi can substitute for any of the minor/Major oriented  scales such as the jazz minor scale (page 247). If the 4 is emphasized, Purvi takes on a min/Maj7 sound. With the focus on the 2nd  degree as the root, the scale could be reinterpreted as: 1- 3-4    4-5 - 7-7-8. The 4 and 7 scale degrees act as passing tones and help to color the scale. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page explores this superimposed min/Maj7 sound. Use the C  Purvi scale over the D harmony. Try using Purvi as a substitute for the jazz minor scale over stationary min/Maj7 chords.

Sho (1 2  3 4 5 6 8)

Sho is a traditional six-note Japanese scale. In a Western context, Sho is a perfect chord scale for the min6 chord. It can also be applied to Dorian (page 231) or jazz minor (page 247) contexts. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page includes the min6 chord. Try substituting Sho for other min6-type scales including: Dorian, minor 6 diminished (page 286) and Kumoi (page 249).

Sho (#2) (1  2 3 4 5 7 8)

Sho #2 is a traditional six-note Japanese scale. It is a variation on the Sho scale (page 304) but differs in pitch and harmonic quality. In a Western context, it resembles the altered dominant scale (page 197, the 7th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247) but does not include the 6th scale degree. Sho #2 can be applied in altered dominant situations. Viewed as an altered dominant application, this scale contains the     following altered tensions: 9, 9 and 11. The 4 is interpreted as a 3. The chords outlined in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page are all altered dominant variations.

Sus4  13 Pentatonic (1 2 4 5  6 8)

 The sus4 13 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that can be Sus4 13 Pentatonic thought of as pentatonic version of either the Aeolian major scale (page 195, the 5th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247) or the harmonic major scale (page 238). It is also very similar to the major  b6 6 pentatonic scale (page 275) but emphasizes the 4th scale degree 1 2 4 5 8 T 1 instead of the 3rd. This gives it a true sus4 application. The scale 0 1  A 0 3 also contains the 13 altered tension, which makes it an excellent 3 B  choice for Phrygian or altered dominant (7 sus 13) situations. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page explores the suspended   and altered dominant side of this scale. Emphasis is placed on the 13 altered tension and the suspended 4th. Sus4 13 pentatonic is a good substitution for any the Phrygian (page 297) or altered dominant (page 197) scale.

Sus4 Pentatonic (1 2 4 5 6 8) Sus4 Pentatonic

The sus4 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale that closely resembles the major pentatonic scale (page 280) except that this version emphasizes the 4th scale degree instead of the 3rd. Since this scale contains no 7, it is usually applied over a suspended triad or 6 chord context. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the tritonic scale (page 314). Both the sus4 pentatonic and tritonic scales can be applied to suspended 4th situations. Dsus4 is used in the progression to accommodate the D Sus4 Pentatonic scale.

Sus4  9 5 Pentatonic (1 2 4 5 6 8)

  The sus4 9 5 pentatonic scale is a five-note scale. It can be thought  of as a pentatonic version of the Locrian 6 scale (page 254, the 2nd   mode of the harmonic minor scale, page 239). Sus4 9 5 pentatonic  works in the same contexts as Locrian 6. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for Locrian Nat. 6. The scale   works well over a min7 5 chord or II+/I. Try substituting the sus4   9 5 pentatonic for other Locrian-type scale choices.

Symmetrical Diminished, Half/Whole (1 2 3 4 5 5 6  7 8)

The symmetrical diminished is an eight-tone scale that alternates between half-step and whole-step intervals. Each degree of the scale produces a diminished 7 chord, which because of the scale’s symmetry, can substitute for each other. This half-step/whole-step    scale can be viewed as an altered dominant scale choice (1, 9, 9, 3, 5,  5, 6, 7). The whole-step/half-step version of this scale is often called the auxiliary diminished scale (page 206) and is usually used over a diminished 7 chord.

Tetratonic (1 4  5 7 8)

The tetratonic scale is a four-note scale that produces the following symmetrical arrangement of pitches: perfect 4th, minor 2nd,  perfect 4th, minor 2nd (scale degrees: 1-4- 5-7-8). It is derived from the auxiliary diminished scale (page 206) starting on the root or the symmetrical diminished (page 309) scale starting on the 2nd scale degree and can be applied in similar circumstances. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the symmetrical diminished scale. Try alternating between the two choices.

Three-Semitone Tritone (1  2 2 3 5 5 6 6 8)

The three-semitone tritone scale is an eight-note scale with a pattern of three half steps followed by a minor 3rd interval that is repeated. It is a relatively new symmetrical scale that improvisers have been experimenting with recently. Depending on the application, the half steps in this scale could be viewed as passing or leading tones to certain chord tones. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, the scale defines the important chord tones within the     progression ( 3, 5 of the Amin7 5 and the 3rd, 5th and 7 of the B7/A).

Todi (1  2 3  4 5  6 7 8)

Todi is a seven-note Indian raga (scale). When used in a superimposed context, Todi can be substituted for the altered dominant scale (page 197, the 7th mode of the jazz minor scale, page 247) or in  minor pentatonic blues (page 291) contexts. If the 6 scale degree is  emphasized,Todi takes on a dominant sound. With the focus on 6 as   the root, this scale could be reinterpreted as: 1- 9-3-11-5- 7-7-8. The natural 7th scale degree acts as a passing tone to the root (as in the bebop scales, pages 208-211). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page explores this superimposed dominant 7 application. Use  the C Todi scale to play over the A harmony.

Tritone (1  2 3  4 5 7 8)

The tritone scale is part of the diminished harmonic system. It is a symmetrical scale that combines two augmented triads together a tritone (an augmented 4th, a distance of three whole steps) apart.      The tritone scale forms a dominant 7 9 11 chord (1- 9-3- 11-5- 7).   The E7 9 11 in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the specific harmony that this scale works over. Try using the tritone scale for any altered dominant application.

Tritonic (1 4 5 8) A tritonic scale is built of three pitches arranged in ascending order from root to octave. Forms not considered tritonic include traditional triads and their inversions or any form comprised of pitches that would be impractical for use in performance. The tritonic scale presented here consists of a root, 4, 5 and octave (8) and is particularly useful for sus4 applications. Like triads, tritonic scales can be used as harmonic or non-harmonic sources for improvisation. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page uses the suspended 4 sound to illustrate the use of this scale based on the root of the chord. The limited number of scale degrees makes the tritonic scale an excellent scale for superimposition applications.

Tritonic 1st Inversion (1 2 5 8) The tritonic 1st inversion scale is the 1st inversion of the tritonic scale (page 314). The inversion process is the same as for any chord. This scale starts on the 2nd degree of the tritonic scale—the 1st inversion of C-F-G-C is F-G-C-F. On its own, the formula is 1-2-5-8. This scale works well with a triad with an added 9 (or sus2 chord) and no 3, as demonstrated in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page.

Tritonic 2nd Inversion (1 4  7 8)

Tritonic 2nd Inversion

The tritonic 2nd inversion scale is the 2nd inversion of the tritonic scale (page 314). The inversion process is the same as for any chord. This scale starts on the 3rd degree of the tritonic scale. The 2nd inversion of C-F-G-C is G-C-F-G. On its own, the  formula is 1-4- 7-8. This scale works well with a dominant 7 or a dominant 7 sus4 chord. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for the Mixolydian mode (page 293). Try alternating between the two choices. The challenge of the tritonic scales is to be able to cover the entire fretboard (check out the two-note-per-string fingering for each).

Two-Semitone Tritone (1  2 2  4 5 6 8)

The two-semitone tritone scale is a six-note scale with a pattern of two half steps followed by a major 3rd that is repeated. It is a relatively new symmetrical scale that improvisers have been experimenting with recently. This scale could have an altered dominant or diatonic application. In the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page, the scale is used in a diatonic chord progression from the jazz minor scale (page 247). This scale substitutes for any of the modes of the jazz minor scale.

Whole Tone (1 2 3  4  5  6 8)

The whole tone scale is a six-tone scale comprised of whole step intervals. This scale contains two augmented triads a whole step apart. In whole-tone scale harmony, there is no change in tonality regardless of which scale degree is functioning as root. The diatonic 7 chord of the whole tone scale is dominant 7 augmented (with the   9 and the sharp 11). The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page demonstrates the altered dominant character of the whole     tone scale (highlighting the 5/ 13) and the 4/ 5).

Whole Tone Chromatic (1 2 3 4 5  6 7 7 8) Whole Tone Chromatic

The whole tone chromatic scale is an eight-note symmetrical scale that alternates between pairs of whole and half steps: W-W-H-HW-W-H-H. It can be interpreted as an altered dominant chord scale with a leading tone (natural 7, one half step below 8). It also   works well with 7 5 and/or 7 13 chords. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is centered around an altered dominant sound. The whole tone chromatic scale works well in any altered dominant situation.

Yo (1 2  3 4 5  7 8) Yo

Yo is a traditional six-note Japanese scale. In a Western context, it resembles the Dorian mode (page 231, the 2nd mode of the major scale, page 272) but does not include the 6th scale degree. Yo can be applied in Dorian and other minor 7 chord situations. The exclusion of the 6th scale degree calls more attention the other featured tensions of this scale, the 9 and 11. The chord outlined in the vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the min11.

Zirafkand (1  2 3 4 5  6 7 8)

Zirafkand is a seven-note Arabian scale. When used in a superimposed context, Zirafkand, like the Todi scale (page 312), can be substituted for the Mixolydian mode (page 293, the 5th mode of the major scale, page 272) or the minor pentatonic blues scale (page 291).  If the 6 scale degree is emphasized, Zirafkand takes on a dominant  sound. For example, with the focus on the A in C Zirafkand, the   scale could be interpreted as: 1- 9-3-11-5-13- 7-8. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page explores this superimposed  dominant application. Play C Zirafkand over the A 7.

Zokuso

Zokuso a traditional five-note Japanese scale. In a Western context, it can be thought of as a pentatonic version of the Locrian mode (page 251, the 7th mode of the major scale, page 272) or the Phrygian mode (page 297, the 3rd mode of the major scale). This scale can  be applied in min7 5, altered dominant or Phrygian contexts. The exclusion of the 3rd scale degree makes Zokuso an interesting alternative choice. The vamp at the bottom right corner of the page is the same as for Locrian. Zokuso is an excellent substitution for any Locrian-type application.

Appendix A—Theory Appendix A—Theory and Improvisation Concepts This book is a resource for improvisers rather than a method. To get the most out of this book, you should have a good working knowledge of music theory and improvisation. The next few pages will provide some theory background and review, as well as some interesting concepts for improvisation. For a more thorough exploration of the topic, check out Theory for the Contemporary Guitarist by Guy Capuzzo and The Complete Jazz Guitar Method by Jody Fisher, both published by The National Guitar Workshop and Alfred.

The Major Scale The major scale is built with the following sequence of whole steps (two frets) and half steps (one fret): W-W-H-W-W-W-H Here is a C Major scale:

The Circle of 4ths or 5ths Knowledge of the twelve keys is essential. A key is the tonal center of a composition. The keys can be arranged in a circle (or cycle) of ascending 4ths or ascending 5ths. 4ths and 5ths are intervals. An interval is the distance between two notes. If we go around the circle, building major scales in each successive key, a new flat or sharp is acquired for each key.

Comparing a Scale/Mode to Its Parallel Major Scale To define, name and determine the character or “flavor” of a scale, we compare it to its parallel major scale. The parallel major scale is simply a major scale starting on the same root as the scale in question.  For example, the parallel major scale of C Lydian 7 (page 257) is C Major. In the example to the right, the    C Lydian 7 (the one on top) has a 4 and a 7 when compared to a C Major scale because the 4th note has been altered upward one half step with a sharp and the 7th note has been altered downward one half step with a flat.

Diatonic Harmony Diatonic means belonging to the key or scale. A diatonic chord is a chord that exists within the scale. In the following example, the C Harmonic Minor scale (page 239) has been harmonized by stacking 3rds on each note in the scale. This creates minor, diminished, augmented and major triads (three-note chords). These comprise the unique diatonic harmony of the harmonic minor scale. i

7 Chords and Tensions A 7 chord is a four-note chord built by stacking 3rds. If you stack an additional 3rd on a triad, you have a 7 chord. For each particular kind or “flavor” of 7 chord, there are additional notes that can be added above the 7th called extensions or tensions. The following example shows four common 7 chords and their acceptable tensions. The first four notes comprise the 7 chord. The higher tones—9s, 11s and 13s—are the tensions. Notice that tensions can be altered with a flat  or sharp . Also notice that the numbers are used to express the flavor of the chord just as they are used to express the flavor of a scale—by comparing the tones to those of a major scale (this is true of the tensions, too: 9=2, 11=4, 13=6).

This list is not set in stone, but it does reflect common usage. Remember: • There are other possibilities. Let your ear decide.   • A chord can have more than one tension (for example, C7 9 13). • Tensions can occur anywhere in the chord voicing (arrangement of pitches in the chord) but tensions in the bass may completely change the name of the chord and its function.

Diatonic Scale Superimposition

Appendix B—Scale Study

Improvising musicians will often use a scale other than the root-based scale prescribed for a chord. For example, jazz players dealing with a non-altered dominant 7 sound might think Dorian (page 231) a 5th above the root of the chord (e.g. D Dorian over G7). The more typical scale would be G Mixolydian, but by thinking in D Dorian, important chord tensions are naturally stressed.

Diatonic Chord Superimposition A great way to develop melodic ideas is to organize scale material into chord arpeggios. You can superimpose an arpeggio of any chord from the key you’re in over the chord of the moment. For example, G7 is V in the key of C Major. You may use any of the other 7 chords in the key of C Major (Dmin7, Emin7, F, Amin7  and Bmin7 5) as an arpeggio over G7. This concept is an excellent “melodic springboard,” or device to help inspire ideas for improvisation. The Relationships of Tones of Diatonic Chords in C Major to G7 G7

Non-Diatonic Superimposition You can superimpose a scale or arpeggio from a different key over a chord. This will create an altered or more tension-oriented sound. For example, to create an altered sound over G7, you can superimpose  the E Lydian Augmented scale (page 260). This reinforces certain chord tones and stresses certain altered tensions of G7.  The Relationships of Tones of the E Lydian Augmented Scale to G7 G7alt

Appendix B—Scale Study There are many ways to practice scales. Ultimately, as a result of studying scales, you will develop a greater understanding of chord/scale relationships, which will enable greater expression in your improvisation. Following are some guitaristic approaches to learning the scales.

Single-String Studies Practicing a scale along the length of a single string is an extremely effective approach to learning the fretboard. At first, practice at a slow tempo with a simple, consistent rhythm and with strictly stepwise movement. As you gain confidence, begin to vary the tempo, melodic shapes and rhythms. Every scale in the book is presented on one single string. Learn each scale you practice on all six single strings. Next, try changing keys, scales or modes within the exercise. For example, the exercise below is entirely on the 3rd string. It switches from A Dorian (page 231) to A Mixolydian (page 293).

Adjacent-String Studies You can learn a lot about how the scale lies on the fretboard by restricting yourself to two adjacent strings. This can be approached as a melodic (single note) or intervallic (two simultaneous notes) exercise. Interval practice will heighten your sense of harmony. Explore one kind of interval for a while (adjacent string study will limit you to just a few technically practical intervals), then move on. The next exercise explores the Mixolydian mode (page 293) on the 2nd and 3rd strings with an added A drone in the bass. It begins melodically and then switches to 3rds in the third measure. As with the single string exercise, start slowly and simply and then speed up and add variations later.

Non-Adjacent String Studies Now try restricting yourself to two non-adjacent strings (a two-string combination where the strings are not next to each other, such as the 2nd and 5th strings). This can also be approached melodically or intervallically. The next exercise uses only the 2nd and 5th strings. The scale is E Lydian (page 255). Try different string combinations, different scales and switch keys and flavors.

Mini-Position String Studies Using small areas of the fingerboard (“mini positions”) is another very useful exercise for practicing scales. Restricting the amount of fingerboard you use adds an excellent challenge to your practice. Always be conscious of the notes you are playing—don’t just rely on patterns! In the following exercise, D Dorian is practiced on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings in 5th position (5th through 8th frets). Dmin7

The following exercise also begins with D Dorian, once again in a mini-position on the top three strings, but it  soon modulates (changes keys) to E Dorian. To accommodate the key change, the mini-position is expanded by one fret on either side to include the 4th and 9th frets. Notice that there are some common tones between  the two keys, and other notes that are changed. Try practicing over a Dmin7 to E min7 vamp.

tHE eNTIRE fRETBOARD—sTEPWISE sTUDIES This idea is a great fretboard exercise and a great ear training workout as well. The concept is to play the scale in a stepwise manner (in half and whole steps, or the smallest intervals present in the scale) over the entire length of the fretboard. When you run out of frets, descend in the same manner. Practice slowly and always be aware of the note you are playing. The style of fingering—how many notes per string, when to shift, etc.—is up to you. Here’s a stepwise exercise for practicing the F Major scale over the entire length of the fretboard:

For an additional challenge, try ascending with one scale and descending with another. The exercise below  ascends with F Major and descends with F Lydian 7 (page 257). Again, always keep track of which note you are playing. Try combining other scales, keeping in mind that fingerings will change.

Melodic Harmony Remember that as you improvise melodies you are not restricted to single-note lines. As guitarists, we can explore scales by combining intervals with our single-note expressions. This is called melodic harmony. The harmonies move with a melodic sense of flow. In the next example, EMaj7 is expressed by harmonizing parts of its chord scale, which is E Major. The intervals used are 6ths and 7ths.

Creating Vamps Creating vamps to practice over is an essential part of your practice. This book provides a two-measure vamp for each scale, but you will discover much more about the scale by creating your own. Start by including a pedal tone (repeated note) or ostinato (repeated accompaniment pattern). Next, try to  emphasize the distinctive characteristics of the scale. For example, to make a B Lydian vamp sound Lydian,    emphasize the 4. The 4 alone, however, tells us very little. But, if you combine the 4 with essential tones from the scale, such as 3 (which tells us whether it’s a major or minor sound) and 7 (which gives the flavor of the 7 chord), you will have a much more defined tonality. Simply combine elements. Also, the vamp has to provide groove! Keep your rhythmic ideas simple and repetitive.  Here is the B Lydian mode:
