I wont do step by step breakdown of what Tom reveals in this tutorial, his own description explains this in a “ does what is say’s on the tin” kind of way. This tutorial is a unique and insightful look into the function (how and where to use it) harmony (chords and function) and melody (scales and tabbed solo parts). I haven’t seen a lesson quite as concise as this one and have, after yrs of my own study, learned a whole perspective I did not know from this tutorial and it’s opened up a whole new perspective of this scale to me. Without giving it away too much, the way melodic minor is interchangeable with major modal progressions. Tom teaches how its chords and modes can be interchanged and substituted in many situations adding many new flavours to other progressions. The new chords and voicing are great and there are grooves using them with solo’s tabbed out from improvised parts showing the modal concepts. This is a great lesson in an already phenomenal arsenal of tutorial from Toms website and will make any composer stoked to know the information inside. Tom explains everything scientifically accurate as usual and this is yet another ground breaker tuition pack. |
