Featuring more than three hours of video instruction, this extended master class picks up where Mastering Harmony left off and delves deeper into the immense realm of music theory and harmonic principles as practiced in Western music. Instructor Jimmy Brown thoroughly discusses a broad range of harmony-related topics for intermediate to advanced players. He reveals the inner workings of the symmetrical diminished and augmented scales, explores hexatonic scale harmony, explains the chord-scale relationships that exist within the harmonic and melodic minor scales, and demonstrates their most interesting applications, particularly for soloing over exotic chords. As a bonus, Mastering Fretboard Harmony Part 2 comes with a 54-page digital tab booklet that features 294 examples.
The Mastering Fretboard Harmony Part 2 DVD is a Guitar World Online Store EXCLUSIVE. You won't find this product anywhere else!
