Summary

The aim of this book is very simple: to provide a visual method for playing any major scale mode all over the fretboard from any root note without having to do any ‘working out’ in your head. It’s a method designed both for the guitar and for guitarists. You may understand the theory of modes, but getting it all onto the fretboard is a mammoth task; this book solves that problem. Once you have the modes on the fretboard, the theory comes to life because you can actually use it.
 
I’ll show you exactly what to practice in order to achieve this and why it works. It is a failsafe method containing two sections whereby the more you practice the first section, the more effective the second section becomes. If at any point you get lost, which is hard to do, you simply return to the first section and practice more.
 
This book solves problems such as,” I understand how modes work and I know I can play Bb Lydian here, but I it takes me too long to find it on the fretboard, or I only know one pattern and it sounds forced”. This book will enable you (if you’re prepared to put in the practice) to be able to use Bb Lydian (or any mode) all over the fretboard with little thinking involved.
 
Please note that this is not a modal theory book (check out our QuickStart Guides: Modes book for that), this is a method to map out the modes over the entire fretboard and have access to them with very little thinking. If you’re studying the theory of modes, this is a great accompanying book as you’ll be able to immediately see anything you learn on the fretboard and use it.

    In April 1998, legendary southern jam band Widespread Panic held a free open-air record release show in downtown Athens, Georgia, its home base. No one involved could have known that the predicted crowd of twenty thousand would prove to be nearly five times that size. The show, now known as "Panic in the Streets," went on to become a cult favorite of fans and a decisive moment in Athens music history. This event holds the record for the world's largest record release party, but the story of how the it came to be has not been told until now.Widespread Panic in the Streets of Athens, Georgia places listeners at the historic event, using in-depth investigation and interviews with the band, city officials, and "Spread Heads" who were there. Music journalist Gordon Lamb's narrative takes the listener from conception to aftermath and uncovers the local controversies and efforts that nearly stopped the show from happening altogether.This deeply researched and richly sourced book follows every stage of the concert's development from the spark of an idea to approximately one hundred thousand people packing the streets of a legendary music town. Taking us back to 1990s Athens through vibrant, on-the-scene writing, Lamb gives us the story of a band on the verge of greatness and a town reckoning with its significant place in music history.
