MARCH OF SOUND needs drummer and guitarist

MARCH OF SOUND requests a drummer and guitarist.

You MUST be able to rehearse every Sunday at noon in Revere. We have a free rehearsal space.

Drummers, our space comes with a drum kit already set up that you can practice with only if you want to. You MUST own your own kit to play at shows, however. Great tempo is WAY more important than flashy fills. We need someone to hold everything together solidly.

Guitarists, we are a structured band. Not a jam band. We construct songs. Not just jam.

Most importantly, you have to be into the music: http://www.myspace.com/marchofsound

We're nice guys too!

GUITAR PLAYERS--does learning theory scare you? Play in 7 modes-NOW!

posted: November 2, 2009, 01:11 PM

MODES FOR THE MODERN GUITAR PLAYER
This method allows you to play the modes by simply using ONLY ONE finger pattern that you probably already know. I tell you how to place it- counting a few frets up or down the neck and going across all six strings. I have been using this method for over twenty years now. It’s fool-proof and always works. Never hit a wrong note again. For electric or acoustic guitar and four string bass. Cannot be adapted to other instruments like keyboard or sax. I developed this method and registered the copyright in 1986.

Play in:
DORIAN
PHRYGIAN
AEOLIAN
IONIAN
LYDIAN
MIXOLYDIAN &
LOCRIAN modes in any key!

You do not need to know ANY theory at all. This will open the door for your advancement in a very big way. Only $10.00; no shipping. E-mail me for the first two paragraphs of the method. Ask about my “risk-free payment system.”


From Modes Method users:
When I first looked at your explanation, I thought to myself, there is no way it is this easy; then I started playing different scales based on your theory-and it actually works. I’m impressed. -Josh

hey dan, i just recieved the method today. its great! i spent a long while trying to memorize music theory. but this just made me feel dumb for not thinking of this earlier. thnx alot dan i’ll send out $12 first thing tomorrow morning. -eric

I have extended the modes method to the entire neck. It’s exactly what my other teacher…was trying to explain to me one day. The major and minor scales together. Your method has brought it full circle. I'm going to be Great one day. Thanks for the help. And reasonable too. -Brian

Hi Dan. I finally got a chance to look at your method. How simple you make it…I'm really getting in to the modes. Your tips are very helpful! Thanks Matt

Just received Modes (Method) yesterday, could not wait to try it out. I’ve used the Method to pick out melodies from songs and build some lead work from there. Thanks, this system has gotten me over the hump first try. --Tom

Thanks for sending me your…concept of playing modes. I appreciate your knowledge and your musical interest.. . I've been playing electric Bass for ten plus years; I figured it out; you are sooo Right On. Thanks for all you give; I've been practicing all Sunday Morning and I've just stopped @ 1:45 P.M. " I do think the boy’s got it ! " Thank you again, James.

Sounds good; your honesty is refreshing. Thanks, Mark.

the more i read and study your little method thingy the more it becomes obvious to me. it's almost embarrassing that you can play for x amount of years and overlook little stuff like that. especially when you’re [already] using that [scale] box all the time. but oh well, now i know. (well i've known for a really long time now; now i'm just aware that i know, haha). anyway though man, i appreciate it.
Later- john

The [Modes Method], I’d have to honestly say, did actually help improve my improv skills. I’ve been playing steady and professionally for 25+ years and it really did help.--Thanks, Tom

“Hi Dan, sounds like a deal. Please send the Modes Method and I will send you $12 the next day after I receive it. How can I pass up such a trusting way of doing business. Very refreshing in this day and age. I look forward to learning my modes! --Vincent”

Hey Dan, got the excellent method and your payment is now mailed 1st class. I added a few bucks for doing a great project that I will show young students (including my son!). Great modal method! --Dave

I received your paper today. Good stuff….I think this is the sort of thing that needs to be taught in the schools ALONG with music theory. I will send the money order with tomorrow's mail. It was worth it.--Solis

How can I pass up such a trusting way of doing business. Very refreshing in this day and age. I look forward to learning my modes! -Vincent

It's very very cool that you do business like this,and as a musician I appreciate it.
Peace, Bob

Dan, just got the info this looks to be well worth the money and great for you to take the time to show your secrets, I have been playing for 20 years and still learning. yours is on its way, this will help!!! Danny

Hi Dan. I'm 58 years old, I've been playing guitar since I'm 14, and I've been stuck in the pentatonic box for well over 42 years. I finally feel like a musician. I've been practicing your method for about a week and I'm doing things I NEVER could before. I just got home from a jam and you were right, you have to hear it with the chords behind it. Thank you so much --Tony

Sounds like a deal. Please send the Modes Method and I will send you $12 the next day after I receive it. How can I pass up such a trusting way of doing business. Very refreshing in this day and age. I look forward to learning my modes. --Tony

Aha! I've always thought that such a method existed, since the guitar allows the use of repetitive fingering patterns, and the counting of frets idea is fantastic! I will definitely send you the $12 upon receipt of your method! --Carlos

I really like your method its nice and simple.--Brandon

I’ve been using these scale patterns for years, but never made the connection to modes. This has been very useful. --Thanks, Steven.

“You have caught my interest. I have seen your post forever and have spent more on beer! ….I received your lesson. After sitting down and working with it I began to put the pieces together. I know a little theory and scales. This was kind of the key to putting it all together. Thanks, Bill”

i got it yesterday....Thanks agian...its very simple....I already get the process!
Thanks, Ryan

It's funny, you play for years and you tend to over look some of the simple things that tie it all together. Thats what your method did for me, just remembering where the root notes are and sliding the modes up or down is a simple thing but you forget that when your thinking about other things going on in the song.
Thanks, Joe

“It arrived to my home Saturday. I just tried recording a minute of varied grooves over a B minor chord. I played the Dorian and Aeolian modes over that. I like this!….Thanks a lot, --Charles”

I received the Modes Method. I like the way you use the numbering system for your starting position to get to your modes. I know the major scale which you use so this method is real easy to pick up. Thank you. --Mark

“Hi Dan -- just getting into the info -- great concept! -- lots of possibilities “
Thanks, Don

Thanks--Interesting concept.--Bill

By the way, I really like what you've done. Very easy to pick up. In a couple of weeks, I should be able to apply the info in a live situation when I go to my next rehearsal. Thanks again. Greg

“Dan, got the stuff...I'm working on it. It will be a help and was definitely worth the $10 bucks! --Steve”

Thanks for the righteous info. I have been playing around with it and I can certainly see the potential….Look forward to growing from your method, thanks again!! Joshua

“Thanks Dan. It seems to be a neat system. I am working into it in my practice now.”--Jeff

thanks, got this yesterday. It is definitely…beautiful in its simplicity. Thanks again, Steve.

Thanks for the info, works well. You’re right, knowing what notes are in that mode makes it impossible to hit a wrong note. Thanks again-Michael

thank YOU for YOUR honesty. im glad theres still some honest people left in the world. Good stuff

I really appreciate your way of doing business with these modes.....Alex

“I had a chance to look it over in the last couple days. It looks so simple. I saw your ad on craigslist and bought your system because I am always looking to improve my playing and hey, it was cheap.” --Mike

Very impressive way of doing business…. I am looking forward to seeing and using the system….I am an entertainer, work very hard at it and always looking to improve. Daniel, you do business like I do….Thanks so much, Lance

My name is Tony and your modes method really worked for me.

“I have only spent 1 hour working on the system so far and i can see how this will
help me!!!....Thanks Again Randy”

it makes perfect sense. -David

Thanks, i like this approach....and its easy to modify it....later Curtis

Thank you very much Dan! I've been playing for 40 years pretty much in the rock and roll and blues vein. I’ve always wanted to learn the modes, but frankly my playing was at least to me, decent enough to have been in a few relatively "successful" local bar bands, as a lead guitarist, but I've always known that something was lacking, and knowing modes was one of them. I 'm 52 years old, and my playing has become stagnant. When I saw your posting on Craigslist I was intrigued. I have a Boss looper and I've started to do what was suggested in your tutorial, by just playing these patterns over an A minor, and a couple of other keys, and yes, it absolutely does work. As I'm self taught, I’ve never learned proper theory, and this shortcut will help immensely. Thanks again for the extra help. I'll study this, as time permits. I just needed a little clarification in order to make sure that I was heading in the right direction. Your method is so simple, that I thought I had to be missing something. Peace, Bob

Your service is quick and very well typed and illustrated….thank you, Joe

Your method really makes sense….Thanks, Bob

Thanks…i appreciate your guitar methods...Very informative. You rock...Alex

Thanks Dan….Pleasure doing business w/ you. Dave

Thanks! I look forward to going through the material. I just started working on a new album so I cant wait to learn new things. The guitar is a very mystical thing and is a spiritual instrument for me and the modes really make the experience awesome. Thanks for having a great offer like this!--Jonathan

I read your formula and it looks interesting. I think it may lead to many new ideas and open some doors. thanks, Mark

Hey man I have it and I am putting it to use. Had one of my jam buddies play A and Am then ran the minor pentatonic scale and I see what you mean about “add two notes”. I feel confident this is going to help me. So Dan, here you have it, - you told me so. Thanks again, Ron

Honesty, indeed. Never seen that before ever. You got it bro. I can promise to send $15. A little bit of a bonus if you'd like. -David

Wow!.....I am speechless. Its sounds way to good to be true. Though it is comforting to know a few good decent people do exist. Thank you, for offering such a incredible service. Gus

Dan, thanks, got this yesterday. It is definitely one of those “duh!” things, beautiful in its simplicity. Thanks again, Steve.

It’s cool you came up with such a great idea ! Hope you can reach a lot of people out there. Maybe I’ll get my chops up to where they should be. Cool, Gary

Thanks again for the flexible payment method. Rich

I really appreciate your explanations. Very clear. Thanks so much for your instruction. Steve

Thank you--Here is $20.00. It’s worth it. Robert

Go ahead and let's do the little more expensive risk free way- wow what a refreshing bit of honesty here! I have read the reviews, comments and testimonials. If some one was willing to send you back $20 for a $12 course- then by all means, send it. I believe in this program…just from the responses your product has gotten. Adam
