Rate this book
Scales! The single most quoted technique of any successful musician! Yet many of us just can't make sense of these patterns! I vividly remember the frustration I went through while learning scales. "What patterns should I learn? Do I just learn all the patterns? How do I make music out of these patterns? How do I connect these patterns? Do I need to learn the theory? Are the patterns useful? WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE SCALES?" While learning scales can be a creative breakthrough for any guitarist, all of us can agree that it can be a pain in all the wrong places! Yet we need to scale this monstrous mountain to experience the view on the other side. Is there a solution to this? While I was not lucky enough to learn the scales without going through the frustration, I have created a method to remove the frustration and teach you to solo and create music in a step by step manner . With the right guidance, anyone, just ANYONE can learn guitar scales and become the guitarist of their dreams. But such guidance is hard to come by! But you, my friend, have just struck gold! Your search ends here! Through this book, I intend to solve the problem every guitarist has to go through - mastering guitar scales! Why is this method a secret, you ask? Well, I created it, no one else knows! So…. Isn't that a secret? Jokes aside, in this book, I teach you one scale - just one scale! But I teach you the way and method to learn every other scale you find in the future! I teach you the secret method to mastering scales as you start your journey to map out the fretboard. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a mental map of what notes to play on the fretboard to create good music?

I will continue to read this book until I master its content. It is not a matter of language usage. The author uses clear, concise language. I believe I lack the background knowledge needed to make sense of it! Thank you!

Don't waste your money

I didn't care for this book, it reads terrible and is confusing for student beginners. I don't recommend buying it unless you look through to see if fits your needs
