Here is some stuff that might help you or not, I prefer Satriani style modes myself because once you learn them it is easy to create diatonic scales. One way is to say that a mode is a scale off of a root scale, simply put, a G major scale has 6 other scales starting at different notes, So with that said, G major starts at G and ends on G but A Dorian starts on A and Ends on A, ect: Scale Imagery works great for teaching, teach them to see the scale as a whole instead of string by string. For example: G majors pattern is, left hand 124 one of course being Locrian F# second fret or Second finger 3rd fret Root note G. E string 124. A string 124,.D string 134.G 134. B 24 and high E 124. Similar to the grimoure it shows more notes than in the actual scale. Which looks like this 1 2 3 4 5 frets -----|--1--|---2--|-----|---4------------------------------------ -----|------|---2--|-----|---4----------------------------------------- -----|---1--|------|--3-|---4------------------------------------------ -----|---1 |------|---3-|--4--------------------------------------------------- -----|----1-|--2--|-----|--4---------------------------------------------- -----|---1- |--2--|-----|---4---------------------------------------------- Here are some of my favorite teaching tools. http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/buleriaschordsandscales.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/Ephrygian_chords.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/Cmajormodes.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/buleriaschordsandscales.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/ephrygian.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/gypsyscales2.ptb And there is more but these may or may not help you with some Ideas for your book my friend. A great way to memorize these is to see them as a whole allaaa fret board diagrams and tab or music notaion. Ehh sorry bud just try to help but this theory talk can get heavy,,,,,,,,, I'm gonna quit now while I am buzzzzed.[:D]
