The Modes: Often confusing, often misunderstood. Get ready to change all of that with a practical guide from Allen Van Wert. Allen brings his extensive background in teaching, composing and recording to this course, helping to demystify modal playing. Starting with the basics to avoid any confusion, Allen walks slowly through the key component of modal comprehension, and that is understanding your tonal centers.

Let's face it, it can take a good deal of time to embed the tonality of the modes into your head! The good news is that this course is designed to do just that. A great companion to the Practical Guide to the Modes course, the Modes Practice Guide gives you 20 licks, and quality practice time with your instructor, Nick Kellie. Nick will show you each lick step by step, then guide you into the practice time. All the while giving you valuable insight into the characteristic of each modal sound.

If you are ready to get yourself out of the rut of using the same tired and boring melodic runs, then this Lick Pack by William Roberts is for you! Join William as he dishes out 15 licks from beyond the beaten path. You will learn a variety of scales and arppeggios not typically heard in western music, before moving on to spread triads, acsending and descending chord changes, then tying it all together by learning how to connect lines to make longer intervalic leaps.
