Über dieses E-Book

Due to the rise in popularity of 8-string guitar, as well as the added complexity of learning scales, chords and arpeggios on the instrument, we’ve come up with a novel system for learning scales and arpeggios on 8-string guitar using the minimum amount of scale patterns possible, so that you can get straight to the good stuff: making music.

I’d like to show the most efficient and least time-consuming way to learn scales and arpeggios on an 8 string guitar in standard tuning (F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E), which will both up your game technically and allow you, through consistent practice, to quickly gain a working knowledge of the most useful scales and arpeggios in music.

In this book, we cover 21 scales and arpeggios includes the major scale and its modes, pentatonic scales, the most common seventh arpeggios and a selection of exotic scales to broaden your tonal palette.

Autoren-Profil

Graham Tippett (1977-) studied literature, music and languages in the UK before making a permanent move to Mexico in 2005. It was there he began to explore and research methods of improvisation on the guitar and published the '2 Position Scale System' series of instruction books in 2014, which are the fruit of that research. He is also well-known for his love of languages and music, drawing parallels between the two art forms as he continues to write and research on the subjects of language learning and improvisation. His relentless research into guitar improvisation has recently lead to the creation of the Hacking the CAGED System series of books, and Soloing Without Scales - an alternative look at how to improvise on guitar. Graham is also a graduate of the ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music) in Guildford, where he was taught by the likes of Guthrie Govan, Dave Kilminster, Eric Roche and many others.
