BOOK COMPOSITION
Divided into three chapters - Open Scale Patterns - Fretted Scale Patterns - Symmetrical Scale Patterns, each section within these chapters includes blank chord boxes and staff/TAB sheets for your own workings and examples.
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.
All three chapters are backed up by our Youtube videos viewable via QR codes so you can view the scales being demonstrated by GMI's Ged Brockie.
