MODAL QUADRANGULATION (Melodic Phrases and Exercise Ideas using Intervals of a 4th)

In this study I am concentrating on the usage of the interval of a 4th as the main unit in the construction of modern melodic phrases and ideas. Furthermore, my goal is to explore the combination of this wonderful interval with diatonic seconds and thirds in order to create melodic passages that are not only modern and engaging to the ear but also provide us with physical structures and an architecture that can be comfortable and efficient to move over the entire range of the fretboard.

Playing melodies built only of 4ths is a rather difficult task on the guitar. If we position them vertically then we need to barre all the time and we loose a lot of the articulation control of the phrase. If we decide to position them horizontally on the fretboard then the distances between the notes get too wide and are difficult if not impossible for most in certain positions.

Here I have reduced most of my vast quartal exploration on the guitar to two main physical motions (nuclei) which in my opinion present the most optimal inclusion of the interval of a 4th within a simple and melodically interesting short motif. From there I am presenting 19 different ways in which these two motifs can be developed into creative and complex large scale modern melodic phrases that encompass the entire range of the instrument.

These are not only great for the development of a quartal melodic sound but are also among the best hand coordination, technique and fretboard navigation exercises I have ever found.

For the important isolation of the concepts I am covering in this publication all ideas are presented within the G Major scale but in the video part of the lesson I cover in detail how they can be applied to different scale systems and tonal centers.

The accompanying tutorial video contains all phrases performed at tempo and slowed down as well as an in-depth explanation of the concept, technique and articulation suggestions (to get the most out of the phrases) as well as different ideas for practicing the material on top of what is covered in the study.
