3. Theoretical explanations of pentatonic, major, melodic and harmonic minor, blues, chromatic, whole tone and diminished scales. A suite of “exotic” scales is also included for those that are looking to learn patterns that are on the fringe of what most guitarists would be looking to study.
4. Original music examples in music and TAB provided throughout Scales You Can Use! to ensure that you really learn the patterns shown.

Scales You Can Use! shows again and again how you can use this to the max! Divided into three chapters – Open Scale Patterns – Fretted Scale Patterns – Symmetrical Scale Patterns.

Traversing the entire neck in one key, playing round the cycle of fifths in one position, major, harmonic and minor scale comparison sheets are in there to give you the best chance of getting your scalar knowledge together once and for all!

Modes are also covered and demystified showing you how to both create and apply these often misunderstood patterns.
