The Rock Modal Roadmap Masterclass

What’s it about?

Claudio Pietronik lays out a roadmap to help you harness modes in a way that makes melodies more musical.

For Dorian, Lydian and Mixolydian, you’re met with 20 licks which break down the intervals, triads, quadriads and pentatonic scales for creative exploration. The full solo is a treat for the soul, packing a multi-modal punch and a healthy dose of acrobatic licks.

With an in-depth PDF guide, Claudio gives you all you need to flourish as a soloist.

What will I learn?

This Masterclass will elevate your fretboard knowledge, giving you more fluidity, no matter the style. Within each mode, comes a way to organise notes, and as you become more comfortable, you can use it to explore more melodic ground.

Alongside this, you will learn how to experiment with intervals and different subsets and understand how these impact your melodies. Combining this with triads, quadriads and “modal pentatonics” will ensure that you’re able to compose roaring solos that are cohesive with the backing.

Claudio shows you how to make modes musical. You’re not running through the shapes and scales, you’re using them in a way that makes sense in a variety of contexts.
