Leo began work as an accountant, at first in the accounts section of the state highway department and then at a tyre distribution company, but his hobby was always electronics. In his twenties, he built amplifiers and PA systems for public events: sports gatherings, dances, and so on. He took a few piano lessons before trying the saxophone, but he was never serious, and he never learned to play the guitar.
When he lost his accounts job in the Depression, Leo took a bold step and opened his own radio and record store in Fullerton, around 1938. He called the new retail and repair shop Fender Radio Service, and it seemed a natural move for the ambitious and newlymarried 30-year-old. He advertised his wares and services on his business card: "Electrical appliances, phonograph records, musical instruments & repairs, public address systems, sheet music."
His new store on South Spadra meant that Leo met many local musicians and characters in the music and electronics businesses. During the first few years he hooked up with several people who would prove important to his future success. First among these was a professional violinist and lap-steel guitarist, Clayton Orr Kauffman, known to all simply as Doc.
The story goes that some time around 1940, Doc brought an amplifier into Leo's shop for repair and the two got chatting. Doc had amplified his own guitars and made designs for an electric guitar and a vibrato system. By this time, Leo had started looking into the potential for electric guitars and was playing around with pickup designs. A crude solidbody guitar that Fender and Kauffman built in 1943 purely to test these early pickups - one design for which was patented in '44 - is today in the Roy Acuff Museum at Opryland, ashville.
Doc went to work for an aircraft company during World War II, but the two incorrigible tinkerers still found time to get together and come up with a design for a record-changer good enough to net them $5,000. They used some of this money to bolster their shortlived company, K&F (for Kauffman & Fender), and began production of electric lap-steel guitars and small amplifiers in November 1945.
In the 20s, many people in America had taken up the little lap-steel guitar, often called the Hawaiian guitar, and the instrument was still tremendously popular. The steel had been the first type of guitar to go electric in the 30s. Several innovative companies, with Rickenbacker in the lead, experimented with electro-magnetic pickups, fixing them to guitars and feeding their signal out to small amplifiers. The attraction of the steel was that it was an easy-to-play instrument, and thus one suitable for beginners, but the electric version also proved appealing to professional musicians, especially in Hawaiian music and among country-and-western bands.
The musician would play the steel guitar on his lap or would step up to an instrument mounted on legs. The name came not from its construction - Fender's steels were all wooden - but from the metal bar that the player held in his left hand to stop the raised strings, which were generally tuned to an open chord. During the 30s and later the term the stratocaster guitar book...

... quantity, naturally, is limited," announced Fender, and during 1979 and 1980 the firm proceeded to make thousands of 25th Anniversary Stratocasters ($800 including case, virtually the same price as a standard model). "They went fast in '54. They'll go fast now," ran the insistent ad. An official estimate of production mentioned 10,000 units.
Most people tend to refer to a Stratocaster as a Strat, and in 1980 Fender finally used the abbreviation officially on a new model. It was designed by Gregg Wilson, who had come up with the budget-price Fender Lead models introduced the previous year. The new Strat combined regular Stratocaster looks with updated circuitry, a 'hot' bridge pickup, and fashionable heavy-duty brass hardware. Fender also offered the hardware separately as an after-market accessory line, called Original Brass Works, following the lead of various companies that popularised a craze for retrofit replacement parts. Larry DiMarzio was a leader in this new business, introducing his Super Distortion replacement pickup in 1975, with Mighty Mite, Seymour Duncan, and others soon following.
Fender intended with the Strat to re-introduce the old-style narrow headstock of the original Stratocasters. The broader type of the time had been in use since 1965. However, Fender used old worn-out tooling, and the result was not an entirely accurate re-creation. Smaller, certainly; accurate, no. A reversion to the four-bolt neck fixing and body-end truss-rod adjustment and the removal of the neck-tilt for the new Strat model implied that CBS were already aware of criticisms of 70s Stratocasters. A few brighter colours were offered for the Strat, too, reviving Lake Placid Blue, Candy Apple Red, and Olympic White.
The model was significant as the first attempt at a modernised Strat. It retailed at $995, compared to $745 for the regular Stratocaster.
One further attempt in 1980 to provide something different for Strat fans was the Hendrix Stratocaster. It was something like a 25th Anniversary Strat in overall spec, but it had an inverted headstock and additional body contouring, and was only offered in white.
It's another significant guitar, as it was the first Fender marketed to highlight an association with a musician, a sales technique that would become very important to the company from the late 80s. Only 25 or so were produced, and most if not all were marked as prototypes.
Colour schemes were brightened and expanded a little during the 80s, with the shortlived International Colors in 1981 and then the Custom Colors and Stratobursts of '82. Some of the new hues were distinctly lurid - such as Capri Orange, Aztec Gold, or Bronze Stratoburst - and they were not much liked at the time. In 1983, there was a short run of Marble or 'bowling ball' finishes, designed by Darren Johansen, in swirling Red, Blue, or Gold.
With generally trimmed model lines and a massive output from the factories at Fender, it was hard to resist the feeling as the 80s dawned that the newly-important calculations of the balance sheet were firmly established and took precedence over the company's former creativity. At the start of the decade, CBSmanagement decided that they needed some new blood to help reverse a decline in Fender's image and finances. Income had the stratocaster guitar book ...

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Modal Soloing Strategies for Guitar, the only book about the modes
you may ever need. This book is for intermediate to advanced guitarists desiring
a thorough understanding of modes and their applications for improvising. For
those unfamiliar with the basics of notation and music theory, there is a review
starting on the next page. If you are already familiar with these basics, you can
skip the review and jump ahead to page 20.
The modes have been in existence for centuries as compositional tools for classical,
folk, and ethnic musicians, as improvisational devices for jazz musicians, and a
source of "new" sounds for rock, pop, and country artists. But, unfortunately,
the subject has been shrouded in mystery, causing many guitar students a lot of
confusion. The confusion may be due to an incomplete overview of the subject.
There are many ways of looking at modes and each one has an important place
in understanding and applying the modes to improvising, composition, or both.
Although modes can be derived from both major and minor scales, this book deals
only with the modes of the major scale. Each chapter is devoted to a particular
mode and will include:
• A notated list of the mode in twelve keys
• Perspective #1: The modal formula, a look at where the half steps occur in
the scale and how it relates horizontally to the fretboard
• Perspective #2: The mode's relationship to the diatonic harmony
• Perspective #3: The mode created by altering another scale
• Perspective #4: The mode's intervallic distance from the "parent" key,
measuring from the root of a chord
• Perspective #5: Deducing a mode's key signature
• Six closed-position fingerings
• Open-position fingerings in every key
• The harmonized mode, with sample chord voicings
• Mode usage
• Practice suggestions
• Licks
• Melodic patterns
• Backing track to practice soloing
Also, sample solos utilizing most of the modes in various combinations have been
included at the end of the book.
One way this book is different from many others is that three fingering options are
covered. The first is the horizontal approach along the single string. The second
is the use of "locked" fingerings or scales that are played in a fixed position. The
third fingering option is the "open" position. When any musical concept is explored
on the guitar, a more complete understanding is accomplished by examining all
three fingering options.
It should be noted here that, while a clear understanding of the modes is important,
it represents only a part of what is needed to become an accomplished improviser.
Modes, in conjunction with other scales, arpeggios, and licks, are only part of the
picture. Improvisation is a lifetime study. Try to keep this in mind.
Each chapter of this book is complete so it's all right to skip around. You can also
move straight through from beginning to end for a very comprehensive study. To
get the most out of this book, you need to transpose all exercises and fingerings in
all twelve keys. At first this may seem like a hassle, but in time it will get easier
and payoff in the form of greater fluency.

NOTATION AND THEORY REVIEW

Tablature (TAB)
Tablature (TAB) is a system of notation that graphically represents the strings and frets of the guitar fingerboard. Each note is indicated by placing a number, which indicates the fret to play, on the appropriate string.

Scale Diagrams
This book is loaded with scale diagrams. The top line represents the first string of the guitar, and the bottom line the sixth. The vertical lines represent frets, which are numbered with Roman numerals.

The root Scale tones First string
Frets Fret numbers

Chord Diagrams
Chord diagrams are similar to scale diagrams, except they are oriented vertically instead of horizontally. Vertical lines represent strings, and horizontal lines represent frets. Roman numerals are used to number the frets.

Chord Name First String -C7
Barre + Fret number
Frets Sixth String
