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 scale; 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.
Over 50 Backing Tracks and Over 50 Licks!
We went to town on this book and have provided you with over 50 guitar backing tracks that will keep you wailing all night. The same scales are often used in different genres of music and we didn't want to limit your creativeness... so there are 3 backing tracks for each scale to keep you on your toes. Practice the notated guitar licks (standard notation and tab) with each backing track to truly master each unique sound. Audio is available to download for free from www.fundamental-changes.com and there are links in the book.
