Firstly, an important disclaimer… Modal Expose is NOT another one of those jazzer’s mode courses or a thick theoretical syllabus; Modal Expose is simply a very accessible approach for first identifying a progression’s tonal center and then crafting great sounding solos, which leverage the characteristic tones within that progression. Simple as that. If you already know what a major scale is and can play it in any key, you are good to go. First, Calvo shows you the seven modes that live within the seven notes of that scale. Next, Calvo reveals how the major, minor, dominant and diminished arpeggios and chords are built from those seven notes and modes within that key.
