Let's face it...most of us, despite many years of ripping up the fretboard (by ear or other method) with guitar leads based on scale patterns, have not put together all seven modes and their endless possibilities for harmony and song-writing. I have had a basic idea of western music theory (major, minor, dominant) and even mode construction (piano key cycle from middle C - whole step, half-step, etc.) as a template for basic interval and chord construction, but the application to guitar (it is much harder to see on guitar it seems) composition was never so interestingly presented as it is here. Many guitar players mostly see modes as stacking patterns, using the same notes up the fretboard, which is partially correct. But to see the Actual character of the mode as applied to harmony in the composition is the more useful way to think of it. By always using C as the beginning point for analysis(and pedal tone for chord progressions), each seven note mode is analyzed (normally built from the successive white key on the piano starting on middle C) as to interval characteristics (e.g., Aeolian = flat 3rd, 6th & 7th) and then applied to the WHOLE fretboard as a template for composition - COOL, but watch him effortlessly utilize each mode's unique characteristics to create feeling in a song...and then combine different modal attributes to put together sections of a composition (Intro/chorus/lead, etc.). Incredible live examples are played out before your eyes with camera glued to the right and left hands, allowing total visual/auditory immersion in the many elements that go into this high-level of playing. Watch the picking technique, or slow down the dvd for a careful look at the lightning fast arpeggiated solos - this is a FEAST for us guitar lead gluttons (and I have been a fan of his since Great Explorers came out). A fairly high level of musical understanding is required here to see the possibilities and apply this knowledge, but the vista provides a worthy goal to strive toward. This is a gordian knot that is fun to contemplate. A few complete performance pieces are generously included as well as some FINE extras: Joe Pass delicately tearing it up for a softer look at the ideas presented, and Allan Holdsworth peeling up the rosewood on another. Finally, an older Gambale (this is about 15 years old) showing a taste of his new video on performance that is very fun (the drummer is fantastic as well), although it just makes the ending of this dvd THAT MUCH MORE PAINFUL. I will watch this many times for sure, it is that good. And Frank does a great job getting to the point and being a great teacher on a somewhat difficult project (seeing all modes on the complete fretboard and getting a feel for the many uses in musical composition including emotional emphasis). My only gripe is that the written material referred to during the lesson was not included in my copy??? Not a huge issue, but it would have been convenient. Now, go play guitar...don't think about it too long or you will waste more time wondering just what in the hell you do with a Phrygian mode. Thanks Frank, this is great!
