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."

September 11, 2009 | Fretboard iPhone App

For you iPhone/Touch users, Charlie Jones, JazzMando Field Reporter weighs in with his take on the Fretboard app. "It's not Mandomode explored, but it's pretty useful none the less. You can toggle the note symbols which is helpful. By default the root, 3 and 7 are emphasized.

You can also just click on specific notes to just be displayed or removed. In chord mode for example you could drop the root and then start looking for 3 note chord forms."
