In Getting Into Fusion Jazz Guitar, author Scott Miller presents the most common scales and modes used in fusion and other contemporary music styles. Each of the modes of the Major, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor, Diminished, and Whole-Tone scales is explored in depth, presented in conventional as well as three-note-per-string scale patterns. Correct modal chord voicings for each mode are provided in standard notation as well as tablature. Also included is a play-along CD containing one or two chord vamps for each mode, to aid the student in capturing the essence of these exotic sounds used in contemporary music. Although Getting Into Fusion Jazz Guitar is geared for intermediate or advanced students, the material is presented in a logical, easy to understand fashion, allowing all guitarists to benefit from the information presented.
