About this ebook
In Book 2 we expand the diatonic chord range into 6s, sus chords, 9th chords, put the finishing touches to our knowledge of the major scale, and explore the possibilities of the melodic minor scale along with its chord, arpeggio and modal system. Book 2 also includes 8 of the funkiest full-band backing tracks* you're ever likely to hear in a guitar book to help you get to grips with melodic minor scale and its modes!
Who is this Book for?
Book 2 in the series is suitable for self-study or with a guitar teacher, and is aimed at anyone who's been working with the material from Hacking the CAGED System - Book 1 and wishes to build on the solid foundation they've created in structuring chords, arpeggios, scales and modes on the fretboard by adding more types of chords to their repertoire, improving their picking technique, gaining a complete picture of the major scale, and exploring the melodic minor scale and its modes. *Book contains the link to download the backing tracks.

About the author
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.
