    How to Take The Most of These Lines
    This book provides 40 jazz guitar licks with tab, standard notation, audio files and analysis. All these lines are
    built from the major scale aka Ionian mode. They can be played over major chords as maj, maj6, maj7, maj9,
    maj11, maj13, 6/9. These licks are useful devices to build improvised jazz guitar lines and solos.

    How to Learn These Licks?

    Practicing these licks will expend your music vocabulary and increase your sense of improvisation. Be sure
    to play them in twelve keys and make them evolve in order to create your own musical ideas. Here are some
    practice tips :

    • Practice each lick slowly with a metronome.


    • Be sure to practice slow at first, then try to increase progressively the speed of each lick.
    • Play them in all 12 keys.
    • Try to change the fingerings by adding various techniques as slide, hammer-on, pull-off.
    • Build your own licks from what you have learned with these licks.
    • Try to Apply each lick into your improvisations.
    • Try to incorporate the related chords into these lines in order to hear the harmony.
    • Use backing tracks to practice.
    • Play the chords while singing the licks.

    The Major Scale (Ionian Mode)


    What’s The Ionian Mode?

    The Ionian mode is the first of the seven musical modes. The other Greek modes are Dorian, Phrygian, Ly-
    dian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian modes. The Ionian mode is the other name for the major scale, it has
    exactly the same notes.
    As you can see in the chart below, the major scale consists of a root (1), second (2), major third (3), fourth
    (4), fifth (5), sixth (6) and major seventh (7). Please note that the ninth (9), eleventh (11) and thirteenth (13)
    correspond to the second, fourth and the sixth.

    C Ionian C D E F G A B
    Mode
    Formula 1 (R) 2 (9) 3 4 (11) 5 6 (13) 7
    Intervals W W H W W W H

    It is very important to know how is constructed the major scale in order to be able to build any other major
    scale. You have to memorize the order of whole-steps and half-steps which is W-W-H-W-W-W-H.

    Arpeggio practice is a big part of jazz improvisation. The major scale harmonized in thirds gives the fol-
    lowing arpeggio and chord formulas. Some of them are used in this book.
