• 9 exercises (of all 24 exercises)

• 1 backing track (of all 10 backing tracks)

If you wish you can get at a low price the Complete Ebook buying the Paid Version: www.serie20y20.com.ar

OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSES

The purpose of this book is the intensive study of the Major Scale also called Ionian Scale, which is

of significant importance in our journey with music.

Normally we focus on the study of this or any scale by memorizing only the different shapes up and down,

but this way of studying is insufficient when we want to improvise or appreciate the color or texture it

produces.

That is why we are going to devote ourselves to develop the study of the 7 shapes through exercises in a

practical and dynamic way including the corresponding fingerings and bar repetition in each case.

METHODOLOGY

Includes 24 exercises with full fingering, repetition bars and practice tracks

* Diatonic Order – Up and Down ( a – b )

* Patterns 1 y 2

* Thirds ( a – b – c – d )

* Fourths ( a – b – c – d )

* Sixths ( a – b – c – d )

* Triads ( a – b – c – d )

BACKING TRACKS

It also includes 10 Backing Tracks corresponding to the exercise in a modal playing as well as, different

progressions which will be very useful to practice and affirm this concept.

* 6 Modal backing tracks in Cmaj7 & Gmaj7 (with strings and different musical styles)

* 2 Modal Backing Tracks (with chord progressions)

* 2 Backing Tracks with Cycle of 5th (in different musical styles)


My gratitude goes:

To all my students

Major Diatonic Scale(Néstor Crespo)

Considerations

1. It's also called Ionian Scale.

2. The melodic tensions are: 9 - 11 - 6

3. The allowed harmonic tensions are: 9 and 6.

4. The 11th is a harmonic tension to be avoided because it is a semitone distance from the 3rd.

5. Uses: a) Over the first chord of a major tonality

b) On any seventh major chord with tonic belonging to the key of the moment.

Intervals fingerings for established shapes - Pairs Concept

Before studying the exercises with intervals it is convenient to set the different possibilities of fingering of the 3rds, 4ths and 6ths to be used in the seven shapes.

For a better understanding we will incorporate the concept of Pairs. For example: a note and its third is considered a pair. (C and E, D and F, etc)

The "Pairs " can be made according to the shape, on adjacent strings , skip one string or on the same string.
