About This Book
FINALLY, LEARN HOW IT ALL FITS TOGETHER
Confused about guitar scales? Knowing how to play scales and knowing how to use them are two different things. Seeing shapes outlined on the fretboard is useful, but it doesn't help us understand what to do with them! This is a common frustration with many scale books for guitar. What's the point of learning all this information if we're unable to make something musical out of it?
Learn Your Guitar Scales provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental patterns that underpin everything we do on guitar. Beyond simply demonstrating what these shapes look like, this book explores the sound, structure, and common uses of each pattern in context. This guide also offers various tips and exercises for applying this information practically. Insightful and easy to understand, this is a must-have handbook for any guitar player wanting to make sense of how it all fits together!
ONLINE BONUS: This book is complete with free online bonus material. It comes bundled with a companion website to enhance your learning experience. Extras include audio examples, backing tracks, bonus downloads, and more.
