The Guitar Scales Vol. 1 is a complete guide to the scales that beginning and intermediate guitarists need for practicing and soloing. Each chapter covers a specific approach to these basic scales, including examples, exercises, and studies. Music scores, including fingerings, tablatures, and grid diagrams, along with logical, step-by-step explanations, allow them to build their own understanding, technical, and improvisational skills. The online audio includes all the music material of the book. Each example, exercise, and study is recorded, and eight rhythm tracks provide accompaniments for practical applications of each scale and its appropriate improvisational exercise. Includes access to online audio.
