Description
About the eBook Series (Exotic Guitar Scales for Solo Guitar):
If you are a creative guitarist and are seeking to expand your musical horizons, then you will love playing Indian Ragas.
Ragas are millennia-old musical constructs that originated in Indian music. They are widely used in Indian and Asian music, and were first introduced to Western audiences in the 1950s and 1960s by Ravi Shankar and the Beatles. The pioneering guitarist Davy Graham used Ragas extensively in his music, as did Jimmy Page of the legendary Rock Band Led Zeppelin. Many other artists and bands such the Rolling Stones the Doors also experimented with Raga music in the 1970s. Kula Shaker had great success in the 1990s with their brand of Raga Rock.
Exotic as they may appear to be, Ragas are surprisingly easy to understand and learn, and can be incorporated into any kind of Western music, be it Blues, Rock, Jazz, Folk, or any other genre.
Several contemporary Western artists experiment with Ragas, but Ragas remain an obscure branch of music because very little literature is available about them. This eBook series - Exotic Guitar Scales for Solo Guitar - is an attempt to redress this imbalance.
Each eBook in this series assumes that the reader has no prior knowledge of Ragas or Indian music, and therefore serves a two-fold purpose: firstly, to instruct the reader about Ragas in general – what a Raga is, what its aspects are, and how it should be played; and secondly, to instruct the reader about the particular Raga in question.

Most readers will be able to read this eBook in an hour and start applying the concepts immediately. They will find a whole new musical experience opening up to them.
