Product Details


Product Description

Scales are the foundation of all Western music. Scales build the framework for every music genre (classical, jazz, rock, blues, pop, etc.) regardless of style. Each genre of music will determine the extent of scale mastery needed for proficiency. However, most guitarists skip the first step to fretboard and harmonic mastery, the open-position major and minor scales.

Many begin their scale studies with closed position (not using any open strings) scales. This is useful when moving up and down the fretboard and in transposition. However, few truly understand the notes played besides where the scale's root begins. This does not build a solid foundation for deep musical learning. It also places a large amount of emphasis on only learning patterns to achieve technical fluency but neglects the greater achievement of musicality. The scales in this book consist of the major and harmonic minor scales. The harmonic minor scale is the source from which the chords for the minor scales are built. It also uses the same fingering ascending and descending facilitating easier learning.
