Q: WHO IS THIS APP FOR?

1) Music instructors with a BASIC understanding of modal theory who want to increase their confidence and effectiveness in teaching this fairly complex topic.

2) Music instructors with a COMPLETE understanding of modal theory who are looking for an easier, more consolidated approach to teaching and practicing the material with students.

3) Intermediate to advanced music students who are proficient in pentatonic and major scales and are interested in achieving more expressive guitar improvisation / melody creation.

Q: MODAL THEORY LITERATURE IS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE - WHY BUY THIS APP?

The breadth of freely available information about modal theory is the main reason it’s so difficult to learn (and teach) - there is simply too much out there, and much of it is poorly written or incorrect; a recipe for confusion! Teaching modal theory effectively requires a distillation and simplification of core concepts, organized strategically so they're easy for students to learn - and a method for applying those skills during lessons.

For less than the cost of an average theory book, we've consolidated and organized modal theory into it's finest form, and hand-crafted a completely custom experience, ideal for mastering the material. We know you and your students will love our approach!

Great learning tool!

Highly recommended. It's helping me out a lot. However I'd love to see more than one jam track per mode and more than just having the modes in G.

Awesome with one minor flaw

I already know how to play in the modes, however this app is a fantastic tool because it is an excellent reference source as well as a learning and practice platform. There is one minor flaw though - it's an iPhone app so if you run it on iPad it can bug out a little bit - pressing the 1x or 2x button will freeze the app. Other than that very minor flaw this is definitely worth the time money and effort.

Modal Buddy

I think they really did a great job creating this app. The theory was explained in a very simplified way. I usually don't have time to studying music theory, but I did read through every section in the "Learn" part of the app. I am also spending a lot of time practicing with their backing tracks using the"Practice" feature. I actually think I'm becoming a better guitarist. All in all I would recommend this app to everyone.
