Guitar Students and Teachers,
summer is a great time for getting away from work, relax and recharge ourselves, and even for learning and developing just for fun and return to work as a better version of you. 😉

here’s all you need to visualize any musical or theory concept on the guitar fretboard.
Look at the video and discover how guitarLayers can help you!
we will inform you about that
Waiting for this for iPhone and iPad .
I love Guitar Layers! When for Ipad?

Melodic Minor Scale MODES: 3 NOTES-PER-STRINGS
Melodic minor scale and its Modes are generally used to play, with no "avoid notes", over some specific chords with certain tensions as showed below:
C melodic minor -> Cm (maj7)
D phrygian natural 6 -> D7 sus4 (b9)
Eb lydian augmented -> Eb maj7 (#5)
F lydian dominant -> F 7 (#11)
G mixolydian b13 -> G7 (b13)
A locrian natural 2 -> A min7 b5 (9)
B superlocrian -> B7 altered

Thank you so much 🙂
This is very helpful. I am still having problems putting my arms and ears around the sound of this scale and how to really use it. Trying though!!
Excelente información
Rad thanks
Thanks great info
Thanks for sharing this one. Interesting stuff to study. 👍👍👍
Thanks A Ton
Amazing! Thank you for this
Personally, I prefer 3 notes per strings. I really don't find these 4 notes/2 notes patterns useful at all
My mind has blown with it😁😅still learning...
Personally, I use this knowledge for triad pair improvisation. B altered: play A dim B dim, or C minor D minor, or Fmaj G maj. Other combinations eg with Eb aug are also possible of course, but using 2 neighbouring triads of the same quality saves thinking while playing.
Any chance of an iPhone app?

Pentatonic Scale on Two Strings
Visualizing scales horizontally on the fretboard allows us to play them exploring new melodic ideas and new intervallic patterns.
Here a C minor Pentatonic Scale on sets of Two adjacent strings and sets of Two alternate strings for string skipping approach .
Explore them, find your way and please... Share!

Minor Seventh Chord Substitution
In many situations, where we have a bass player, we can avoid to play the root and substitute it with the ninth.
If you apply this process to all the inversions of a minor seventh chord you will come up with the inversions of a major seventh chord, as you can see on the diagrams.
So that, any major seventh chord and its inversions can work as substitution of a minor seventh chord. (e.g. Cm7 -> Ebmaj7)

Triads inside Melodic Minor:
Second inversion
Here we have triads, in Second Inversion, inside each one of the five melodic minor scale shapes.
For those who missed them, look at the previous posts on the page to download the same scale harmonization with triads in Root Position and First Inversion.
All shapes, scale harmonization, triad inversions, scale-arpeggio overlapping automatically generated with guitarLayers. guitarlayers.com
Shell Voicings
Shell voicings are the most basic seventh chords shapes on the guitar. They are seven chords without the 5th degree.
Here you can see the most common shapes of the Cmaj7, C7 and Cmin7 chords with the root on the 5th strings (yellow shapes) and with the root on 6th string (blue shapes).
Diagrams automatically obtained with guitarLayers guitarlayers.com
Parametric Notes-Per-String number (NPS)
With guitarLayers it is possible to create shapes with a desired number of notes for each string.
This can help you to obtain symmetrical scale or arpeggio shapes along the entire fretboard and, above all, to make your right hand picking more fluent.
In the example below we have 4 NPS descending C Bebop Minor scale, try it yourself! (Scale diagram in comment below)

Diminished Open Triads
Open Triads, or Drop2 Triads, provide a great way for you to expand your chord vocabulary beyond the usual chord shapes. They can also be used as arpeggios to create interesting single-note lines. Diminished open triads formula showed by degrees is: 1 b5 b3, b3 1 b5, b5 b3 1.
On the guitar these voicings can be arranged on three different ways that correspond to different strings sets.
Here we have Diminished Open Triad voicing on three different string sets.

The Lydian Triad
The widely followed guitar teacher and blogger Carlos Vicent uses guitarLayers to generate inversions of non-conventional triads on different strings sets: here an interesting lesson about the lydian triad.
With guitarLayers it is possible to obtain automatically inversions of non common three-notes and four notes structures, on the string sets. guitarlayers.com

El modo lidio es básicamente una escala mayor natural con una cuarta aumentada (#4 o #11). Es precisamente ese sonido el que hace de él algo característico. El acorde que se construye…Drop 2&3 and Drop 2&4 voicings
and related inversions
Talking about seven chords, Drop 2&3 and Drop 2&4 voicings are less common then Drop2 and Drop3 ones but they can be very useful in some contexts.
Drop 2&3 are a closed structure (1357) where the third note from the top, as well as the second note are both lowered an octave, resulting in 3517.
Drop 2&4 are a closed structure (1357) where the fourth note from the top, as well as the second note are both lowered an octave, resulting in 1537.
Here the Cmaj7 Drop 2&3 and Drop 2&4 voicings and related inversions, use them as starting point to derive other chord types.
All drop voicings and their inversions are automatically generated and transposed on different string sets with guitarlayers guitarlayers.com
Melodic Minor harmonized with Triads
on four String Sets
In the previous post we've published the Melodic minor scale harmonization with triads inside the five vertical shapes. Here we have the same harmonization, horizontally, along the fretboard, organized on four string sets. Ask your teacher how to use them! 😉
