Book excerpt: "The Art of Scale Weaving" has but one purpose; connection. It is through connection that we broaden our spectrum of understanding of the language of music through our instrument... the guitar. This book looks to achieve such connection by utilizing a new method known as Scale Weaving, which unifies different concepts such as triads, pentatonic scales and heptatonic scales. It is through connection that we can better understand the underlying relationships within these concepts.
