This guitar book contains a simple learning method that will help you master the skill of playing basic musical scales quickly and easily without having to learn anything about music theory if you don't want too. Most of the scales presented are MAJOR SCALES, the familiar DO-RE-ME-FA-SOL-LA-TI-DO that most of us have heard since childhood. The last half of the book will introduce you to the PENTATONIC SCALES (Major and Minor) and everyone's favorite - "THE BLUES SCALE." The material presented is designed so you will not be overwhelmed with more scales and information than you need to know at this early stage of your musical development. The material will be presented in three parts; PART I will cover single octave MAJOR SCALES. PART II will expand on PART I to cover double octave MAJOR SCALES. PART III will introduce you to the PENTATONIC and BLUES SCALE. Each new scale is presented along with an accompanying (1) "SCALE PATH" diagram, (2) "STANDARD MUSIC NOTATION" and (3) "TABLATURE" for that particular scale. If you like, you may record the scales you are learning and play them back periodically to monitor your progress. You will discover that by playing and memorizing these scales, you are preparing yourself for more advance scales and musical concepts. Knowledge is power, and once you unlock the "secret" to playing scales, you can create your own phrasings and melodic patterns. You will find much more than described above in this new guitar book On another note, you might also want to get a copy of THE "FIRST STAGE" GUITAR BOOK - LEARN HOW TO PLAY GUITAR EASILY and QUICKLY , you will find this book very helpful in learning guitar chords in clear, bold and easy to understandillustrations plus more.
