The Educational Package, which includes the Album, consists of backing tracks, explanatory documents, ear training audio for all types of musicians of any instrument who are looking to bring new fresh creativity to their harmonic and melodic vocabulary. Testimonials for “For Music Geeks Only” “Are your modes sounding outmoded? Mixed feelings about that mixolydian? Super locrian no longer quite so super? Time to get your ears around this extended palette of scales from Dennis Winge. He’s got more flavors than Baskin Robbins and holds each one up for study. Music geeks, pick it up and run with it – designed to get you hearing but it’ll also get you thinking.” -Keith Gurland, saxophonist “The material is impressive in content and lay out” – Larry Lolli, bassist “Dennis Winge’s ‘For Music Geeks Only’ Mode study is quite satisfying. I had no idea there were so many (82). He spells out each mode in 3 ways, making them easy for anyone to access. His mp3 backing tracks allow players to practice soloing over each mode; and he uses different musical styles and rhythms to illustrate how each mode can be used. This is going to keep me busy for a while.” – Wayne Gottlieb, guitarist/ vocalist “PIE A LA MODE! Dennis Winge’s exploration of modes in For Music Geeks Only is sure to expand your brain and your ears, but not your waistline. It is a real treat to jam along with Dennis’s tracks. I’ve learned more modes than I ever knew existed, not to mention working out with different meters, grooves and keys. The accompanying PDFs, with scales, guitar tabs, spatial relationships, and more, give you lots of ice cream flavors to make your mode pies even more tasty. Try it, it’s yumbomusicalicious!” – MJ Territo, vocalist “Very interesting and creative approach to ‘modal madness.’ If one devotes the time to the ear training and the accompanying “backing tracks” one will have a grasp of virtually all popular music (rock, blues, jazz, etc) and “classical music” of the last several hundred years since they are inevitably based upon these fundamental building blocks of the western music heritage. It not only will improve the “musical craft” it serves to opens one’s ears and mind to many creative possibilities. Highly recommended.” – Stu Zimny, bassist
