Before you can master the guitar, you've got to get the basics down. This book will help you nail down the foundation.
Alfred's Basic Guitar Scales & Modes teaches how to use scales and modes to organize melodic material and will also give you a better command of the fretboard. For each scale, lots of supplementary information is provided, including multiple neck positions, what type of chords go well with the scale, associated musical styles, and interval patterns. Scales are shown in both standard music notation and TAB. Solos that demonstrate the practical usage of various scales and modes are also included.
