We also include exercises for these scales as well. You'll be able to link patterns like these together, which will allow you to play in key anywhere on the guitar neck. The next exercise uses the E Aeolian mode. If you're unfamiliar with modes, Aeolian is the same as a Natural Minor scale. All this is explained in detail in the book.
Advanced guitarists know how important modes are.
If you understand how, where and when to play them, you will be able to move freely around the guitar playing in key all the time. We include a variety of these types of exercises to help you get used to playing on every fret of your guitar. Again, play the exercise with a steady, even rhythm. The Getting In Shape section of our book includes hundreds of tablature exercises that cover an unbelievable amount of finger combinations. They will improve your playing speed, accuracy, and coordination.
