What is MAJA?

Question: True or false?  Developing a mastery of advanced chords and scales - hearing them and playing them - takes a lifetime of devoted practice and discipline?

Answer: True - until now!

Why? Because there are so many possibilities. So many scales that can be used with a single chord. So many chords. So many scales. So many ways to play each one, etc. Without some sort of outside assistance, it would take an entire lifetime to fully master such a huge and overwhelming body of information. A major hurdle for the serious artist is avoiding the pitfalls of "staleness" - the tendency to, largely out of habit, repeatedly overuse the same scales and approaches while improvising or writing new material.

Ahh, but that's where MAJA come's in.  MAJA is designed to be your musical think tank.  Using MAJA, you can quickly generate a wealth of refreshingly new sounds - chords, scales, arpeggios, whatever - to fit ANY desired musical context.  Hard Rock, Funk, Jazz, Reggae, Country...whatever.

What's more, you can do it for ANY stringed instrument, with ANY number of strings (even fretless), tuned in ANY way imaginable. In fact, while MAJA is geared toward players of stringed instruments, it is universal and applicable to ALL musicians.


Listen To Real Examples Using MAJA!
In Examples #1, #2, and #3, MAJA is used to recast the SAME simple 3-chord progression (the main riff to Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix) into three VERY DIFFERENT sounding examples in different genres (Rock, Jazz/Blues, and New Age). Please note that Examples #1, #2, and #3 are the SAME functional chord progression with subtle differences in harmony (suggested by MAJA) - as well as differences in tone and rhythm. As well, Examples #1, #2, and #3 all begin at the same point (entry point) in MAJA - the PB module. To emphasize MAJA's flexibility, Examples #4 and #5 begin in each of the other two modules - the CB and SB modules.

Play Example #1 (Rock/Traditional)!
Play Example #2 (Jazz/Blues)!
Play Example #3 (New Age)!
Play Example #4 (Middle Eastern)!
Play Example #5 (Rock/Modern)!
