Book excerpt: If you're looking for a system in order to learn to improvise on guitar that's not based on endless patterns and boring scale exercises, or if you're struggling to improvise on guitar because you can't make sense of scales, or apply them in a practical way, this method is for you. With just 2 scale patterns for each scale, we'll show you how to learn guitar scales all over the fretboard with ease in a matter of hours, not weeks, months or even years. The method is beautifully simple and easy to work with; there's also very little theory involved which allows you to get straight to the good part: actually improvising with a variety of scales, and above all, not feeling lost! This eBook is suitable for beginners starting out with scales right up to more experienced players looking to consolidate their improvisational skills, and be able to pick and choose the scales they play over chords. If you're stuck with the CAGED system, this method will also provide you with a welcome alternative, and clear up the confusion. Although this book is an introduction, it provides you with a fully-functional method for learning scales all over the fretboard with relative ease, as well as the resources to learn a wide variety of scales. I've seen some incredible results from years of teaching this system of learning scales, and I hope you do too. Get started with the 2 Position Scale System today!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Scales and Arpeggios' has been painstakingly updated and revised in order to build on the '2 Position Guitar Scale System: An Introduction' Book (also available on Google Play) by expanding the reach of the 2 Position System to include how to change between scales, open position scales, how to stack the positions to form larger ones, and a new section which incorporates arpeggios into the system. The premise of this system has always been to focus on the musical aspect of scales, and now arpeggios, instead of the endless memorization of patterns and permutations you get with other systems such the CAGED and 3NPS ones, which means there’s far too much time wasted before they become useful. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a book of shortcuts. You’ll still have to put the work in to get good results, but know that we’ve reduced that amount of ‘work’, or ‘woodshedding’ by about 80%. What you’ll get from this system is a profound insight into how the guitar, in standard tuning, can be understood to effortlessly learn the tools for confident improvisation: scales and arpeggios

Book excerpt: 3NPS (three-note-per-string) scales, as used by legions of guitarists but popularized mainly by Joe Satriani, are one of the most efficient ways to navigate the fretboard and get your scales down IF you follow the guidelines in this book. As the name suggests, a 3NPS scale is any scale that contains three notes on each string, and as you'll see in this eBook, this makes for a very consistent way to map out scales on the guitar fretboard. What we’ve done here is revamped the 3NPS scale system and turned it into an incredibly effective means to learn a wide variety of scales all over the fretboard by streamlining the number of patterns, as well as the picking system. This is not a scale theory book, and contains no pentatonic scales. This is a quick and dirty (and very effective) method for learning 3NPS scales all over the fretboard; something to work on in the woodshed. It will improve your picking technique and speed. It does not require a great amount of thinking as you only need to learn two picking patterns, which is really one in two directions, and only three scale patterns instead of the usual seven per scale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Woodshedder’s Guide to Guitar Scales came about after a request from a student. Obsessed with scales, she wanted a practice regime that allowed to her to learn a considerable number of guitar scales all over the fretboard using the most efficient and least time-consuming method I could come up with. To accomplish this, I suggested using just three patterns per scale, all of which are derived from three master patterns. In essence, we bypassed traditional (and outdated) scale systems that have you learning anything from five to seven or more patterns per scale (as this is both time-consuming and unnecessary) and grouped scales in a way that makes them far easier to digest, woodshed, and have the results show up in your playing relatively quickly. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a shortcut, it’s simply a very efficient method if you’re willing to spend hours in the woodshed. In this guide we dispense with traditional concepts to give you the most efficient and effective way to not only learn a ton of scales, but to achieve levels of technique and precision that will serve you for years to come.

Book excerpt: Due to the rise in popularity of 8-string guitar, as well as the added complexity of learning scales, chords and arpeggios on the instrument, we’ve come up with a novel system for learning scales and arpeggios on 8-string guitar using the minimum amount of scale patterns possible, so that you can get straight to the good stuff: making music. I’d like to show the most efficient and least time-consuming way to learn scales and arpeggios on an 8 string guitar in standard tuning (F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E), which will both up your game technically and allow you, through consistent practice, to quickly gain a working knowledge of the most useful scales and arpeggios in music. In this book, we cover 21 scales and arpeggios includes the major scale and its modes, pentatonic scales, the most common seventh arpeggios and a selection of exotic scales to broaden your tonal palette.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hacking the CAGED System series was inspired by my own,and other guitarist’s frustrations with the infamous CAGED System for learning guitar. It all started back in Music College in the early 2000s, at the ACM in Guildford (UK) to be precise, where we were handed, by none other than Guthrie Govan, an inch-thick binder containing all manner of shapes and patterns for the CAGED system, including chords and arpeggios. I duly slaved over the book while burning the midnight oil for an entire semester and while my technique improved no end, I just couldn’t turn those patterns into music,or connect them to what I was learning in music theory class.Fast forward to 2016, and with the benefit of hindsight from more than 20 years of playing, I’ve been able to look at the CAGED system from a different perspective, and one that will hopefully make it a useful system for anyone wishing to learn it. The CAGED system has many flaws, but these can be hacked and rectified to turn it into a powerful system for understanding how the guitar fretboard works, leading to a versatile, and above all, functional knowledge of chords, arpeggios, scales and modes, and key signatures. What’s in Book 1? Book 1 teaches you the basic major scale forms, shows you where to find the basic diatonic chords as well as seventh chords.We then venture into intervals which are the key to making your solos sound like you know what you’re doing. Next we bring out the arpeggios,and finally the modes. Everything is tied together using key signatures as a framework to build up a practical knowledge of chords, scales,arpeggios and modes on the guitar.

Book excerpt: Hacking the CAGED System - Book 2 picks up where Book 1 left off as we go deeper into scales, chords, arpeggios and harmony to expand our range of harmonic expression on the guitar, as well as providing you with the tools you need to put that advanced harmonic expression into action in your own playing. In Book 2 we expand the diatonic chord range into 6s, sus chords, 9th chords, put the finishing touches to our knowledge of the major scale, and explore the possibilities of the melodic minor scale along with its chord, arpeggio and modal system. Book 2 also includes 8 of the funkiest full-band backing tracks* you're ever likely to hear in a guitar book to help you get to grips with melodic minor scale and its modes! Who is this Book for? Book 2 in the series is suitable for self-study or with a guitar teacher, and is aimed at anyone who's been working with the material from Hacking the CAGED System - Book 1 and wishes to build on the solid foundation they've created in structuring chords, arpeggios, scales and modes on the fretboard by adding more types of chords to their repertoire, improving their picking technique, gaining a complete picture of the major scale, and exploring the melodic minor scale and its modes. *Book contains the link to download the backing tracks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you enjoyed the simple and intuitive and musical method that we used in the Intermediate Scales Handbook, you’ll be pleased to know you can easily use it to incorporate exotic scales into your playing. I’ve hand-picked 15 of my favorite exotic scales and modes that I think are really useful for adding different flavors to your solos or exploring new sonic territory on the instrument. You’ll be able to incorporate these new sounds into your playing as I’ve laid out the book according to chord types you already know and probably use all the time. Then, in the final section of the book, we’ll look at two easy-to-follow methods for creating strange and beautiful chord progressions from any scale in this book. Don’t worry if you haven’t read the original Intermediate Scales Handbook, as this ‘exotic scales’ edition can easily be used as a stand-alone book. On the other hand, if you have covered the material from the original book, you’ve already paved the way for these new scales and modes to slot nicely into your improvisational repertoire.
