Published by Alan R Thompson (A0.1108136).This book represents an invitation for you to explore part of the vast universe of melodic and harmonic musical options. This “STRUCTURED GUIDE” will provide building blocks for the creation of original music, be useful in increasing technical proficiency in your instrument of choice, improve your sight-reading skills and help you develop a better ear for music. This book lists in standard sheet music notation over 75 scales (and their "Relative Modes") and over 75+ associated chords organized in each of the 12 Key Signatures (or enharmonic equivalent keys) found in Western Music. Note that the sheet music in this book is organized by Key Signature ("Relative Modes") and not by Tonic/Tonal Center ("Parallel Modes") as in separate book. This organization helps promote a more fluid approach for improvising without need for excessive mental calculations to transpose keys as you're playing. Each Key Signature Section is 28 pages of sheet music, which could take several hours to play depending on how familiar you are with the material and how much you improvise thereon. Scales and Modes listed include the Major, Natural Minor, Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor, Melodic Minor Ascending/Natural Minor Descending, Lydian Diminished/Lydian b3, Whole Tone, Octatonic/Diminished and Chromatic Scales. Also, numerous Bebop and Pentatonic Scales (traditional & exotic), Augmented, Double Harmonic Scales and numerous unique non-standard Scales are referenced, etc. Chords from triads up to 13ths are presented in arpeggiated & as well as block format with inversions, along with SCALE SUGGESTIONS for these chords. Audio sample plays through a Grand Staff version in "C-Major / A-Minor."
