    Much appreciated Fep and everyone! I just got through jamming to the C Ionian and the D Dorian in the key of C using your modal vamps.

    I just recently got the Advancing Guitarist as well. I am noticing the difference in the way the two modes feel and was able to come up with some little melodies. I have only just begun to conceptualize the modes as internal to the major scale and this is very exciting.Very cool

    Hello Everyone--

    I am just new to this site today and came across this thread. I too recently purchased TAG, and will be downloading the vamps here. Plenty to learn in the first few pages, but jeez what a steep learning curve!

    There is a non-guitar book/CD set that might interest some of you. It is called Hear It and Sing It: Exploring Modal Jazz, by Judy Neimack. It is a vocal workout on each of the modes--very nicely produced.

    I got it for my son, who is learning to sing, but I find that I also like to sing along to it in the car, as it helps me to internalize the modes.

    It also has modal vamps for improvisation (scat singing!), but I think they are all in Bb.

    This is a nice, friendly site, with a lot of great contributions. I'm glad to have found it.

    I took the chords that Fep used and entered them into the free program Impro-Visor. Not as snazzy sounding as Fep's BIAB files, but now I can transpose them and change the musical style.

    So, have any of you been doing the recommended exercises from TAG? How's it going?

    11 years later, it appears Fep's mp3 vamps are no longer available. Does anyone happen to still have them and willing to share?

    I bought the book when it came out - early ‘80s? I used one of these to record the vamps - I filled one side of a 60-minute cassette with each vamp, varying up the rhythms and arpeggios.

    I would still recommend it. You get to hear just how “good” your time, touch, and endurance is while you solo over the vamp.

    Here’s a new one:
