Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Scales and Arpeggios' has been painstakingly updated and revised in order to build on the '2 Position Guitar Scale System: An Introduction' Book (also available on Google Play) by expanding the reach of the 2 Position System to include how to change between scales, open position scales, how to stack the positions to form larger ones, and a new section which incorporates arpeggios into the system. The premise of this system has always been to focus on the musical aspect of scales, and now arpeggios, instead of the endless memorization of patterns and permutations you get with other systems such the CAGED and 3NPS ones, which means there’s far too much time wasted before they become useful. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a book of shortcuts. You’ll still have to put the work in to get good results, but know that we’ve reduced that amount of ‘work’, or ‘woodshedding’ by about 80%. What you’ll get from this system is a profound insight into how the guitar, in standard tuning, can be understood to effortlessly learn the tools for confident improvisation: scales and arpeggios
