Book Description

Guitar Scales in Context Guitar Scales in Context goes way beyond any other scale dictionary available by providing you with backing tracks and licks for each of the essential 18 guitar scales and modes that it covers. Licks and Backing Tracks With over 50 backing tracks, each scale for the guitar is analysed, discussed and shown in the five most commonly used patterns. Each scale shape is combined with corresponding chord, triad and arpeggio pattern to help you build and memorise the sca≤ physically, mentally and aurally. Theory and Application Each scale has an extensive information page giving examples of its use and a description of its unique character. To help you master the feel of each scale's sound and feel on the guitar, three live-recorded example licks are taught so you can instantly use the scales in a musical context. Neck Diagrams, Arpeggios and Triads Scales should never be learnt in isolation and some notes are 'stronger' than other. Guitar Scales in Context combines the 18 essential scales for guitar with their most appropriate arpeggios and triads, showing you how to link these important musical structures together. By learning the correct arpeggios along with each scale shape, you will always know where the strongest notes lie when you are soloing on the guitar. 18 Scales, 5 Positions and Full Neck Diagrams Each scale and mode is broken down into the 5 most convenient shapes for the guitar, these shapes are joined together with a full neck diagram so you will master scales on the guitar neck in no time at all.
