Description
If you can see it – you can play it.
This is a very visual book on learning to see arpeggios and scales on the guitar using fretboard diagrams. It is also about superimposing seemingly unrelated arpeggios over chords to produce interesting sounds and to help “develop†your ears.
If you want to learn how, when, why and where to use arpeggios and scales over different chord types and progressions, then this is the book for you.
In addition, you can hear mp3 audio with each example and backing tracks are supplied for practice.
It is written for guitarists on any level. If you’re a visual learner, you’re going to love this format. If you don’t read music, don’t fret; there are no crotchets or quavers here.
This is not a licks book. Learning licks is ok, but will only get you so far.
This book provides the raw material necessary to create your own licks.
The more you can see and hear all the note intervals, the more the neck will open up for you and you’ll start to understand the relationship between the underlying harmony and the notes you pick.
The mp3 examples give you a taste of the general “flavour†of each sound. All you need to do is pick out your favourite arpeggios/scales and start applying them to songs.
Any way you look at it, you are getting a lifetime of knowledge and ideas.
Chris Pal is a professional guitarist and guitar teacher. This book was put together over two decades and is based on questions from his students that keep repeating over and over.
One of the main challenges for his students is that they find difficulty in seeing the notes on the guitar as the chords are racing past. In order to simplify this process, great results are obtained by breaking down scales into smaller bits of information that can be easily absorbed.
He sees a vast improvement in his students when they start “seeing†chord tones and really start hearing what they are playing as opposed to just noodling around hoping for something magical to happen.
This is what this ebook is based on – being able to visualise what you are playing in your mind’s eye and the basic premise is this:-
