The Pentatonic Players Guide to Mastering the Modes
with Robbie Calvo
After years of searching, I have never found anyone who makes modal playing easier to understand than Robbie Calvo.
He is the go-to man for learning how to evoke the sounds of the modes within your playing.
Great thing is, in this course, he shows you how to do it using only one Pentatonic shape!!!
In this step-by-step guide he will show you how to sound amazing, immediately in any one of the 7 modes using just one Pentatonic shape!
I know it sounds too good to be true, but it's not. This course makes the modes simpler than ever to understand and apply instantly into your own playing.
The result?
A course that lets you take your own licks, regardless of your playing ability, and instantly capture the sounds of any of the seven modes all over the neck, without ever having to learn somebody else's licks, or tons of music theory!
To all you shredders out there, if you think this course sounds too easy for you, wait until you see what happens when you combine this concept with all five Pentatonic shapes... the melodic magic potential will blow your mind!
Who would have thought shifting a single five-note Pentatonic scale shape around the neck would be the key to unlocking the mystery of the modes!!!
“The Pentatonic Players Guide to Mastering the Modes is the fast track to playing melodic solos using the scales and licks you already know.
All we’re doing is applying that one simple scale shape, in three fretboard locations, to evoke all of the magic flavors contained within each of the seven modes.”
