      Melodic Minor Modes In Motion - The Nocelli Guitar Method - Lucien Nocelli

      INTRODUCTION

      Many guitarists are trying to learn as many different scales as they can, however, they are not completely understanding the modes (scales), their fingerings, and how and where to use them.

      The Melodic Minor modes are one of the most useful tools in a Jazz / Jazz Fusion / Progressive Rock guitar player’s tool kit. These modes are most powerful when used over altered chords to cohesively voice lead within the tension which altered chords create. Also, they are used over non-altered chords to deliberately add tension.

      Most books describe the Melodic Minor scale as a major scale with a lowered third. I prefer not to think of or teach them from that perspective since the Melodic Minor scale and its modes are directly from the Melodic Minor key which they naturally are derived from. However, as stated, they could be viewed as a major scale with a lowered third.

      When the Melodic Minor scale is used in classical music, it is used within it’s melodies only, since classical music does not use it for improvisational purposes. Also, when the scale is used in classical music, it is used in the ascending format. When descending the natural minor scale is used. In the jazz language and other styles used in this book, this scale and it’s modes are used in both ascending and descending directions.

      This book is a complete formulated mode (scale) system that will take you out of the conventional guitar playing style and put you in a new dimension of guitar playing. (From this point on a SCALE will be referred to as a MODE). It will change the way you think about modes and their chord relations. This system is called Melodic Minor Modes In Motion.

      The goal of this book is to teach you to connect and blend mode forms into each other while logically covering the entire fretboard, thus allowing you to get the most out of your playing. You will also learn to use the correct modes over various different chords and their progressions, and ways to always determine what modes over what chords.

      This method is for the guitarist just beginning to learn modes, as well as the professional. This will discipline your mode playing and bring you to a new awakening. It seems that every student starting to learn modes eventually asks me this dreaded question: Why bother learning all the modes when they are just different starting points of a Melodic Minor scale and if I play the Melodic Minor scale, I’ll be playing the modes anyway? I give them all the same explanation: Modes are created by the sound of the position and placement of a mode in motion. The motion of a mode is created by properly and logically playing the Mode Finger Form (from now on abbreviated MFF).

      You will learn that this mode system moves in a FORWARD motion up the fretboard, unlike the conventional methods so frequently taught. They connect smoothly into each other so you will be forced to learn the
