I purchased this book after using another GMI book called Drop two voicings uncovered and really learning a lot from it. Scales you can use is just as good and has again helped me understand the fretboard in greater depth. It goes into great detail, showing many scale patterns for each scale and I really enjoyed learning about interval sequences. I also found the section at the back very interesting about exotic scales such as the Japanise, Romanian, Persian and Hirajashi Scales. I'm sure I'll be using this as a referance book for years to come. Thanks GMI!
The book is very clear, well explained and you have youtube links with free lessons with the author, completely value for money.I highly recommend it.
This book is quite useful, it gives you scales that are easily accessible and to use as well with techniques and some stuff that is also song writing related. I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to expand their horizons, not just on the scales but also on their music theory and techniques.
I have nearly them all recomened by me
