Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

March 16, 2006 | Lewis Scales

With some help from Terry Lewis, you can learn the mandolin fretboard through scales and modes.

Ultimately, the accomplished musician will have complete facility and understanding of the many modes and scales memorized and immediately at the fingertips. If you're new to this journey, check out Lewis' helpful (and thorough) encyclopedic, "Scales and Modes for the Mandolin."

What may be traded for gloss and multi-colored slick is more than made up in comprehensiveness. Terry covers them all, 29 scales and modes in all 12 keys, from Major to Super Locrian, and maps them out graphically on the mandolin fretboard in both standard notation and Tab.

Comb-bound (195 pages) and shipped to you, or print your own from a PDF download, contact Terry.
