Every pattern. Every position. Except for ummm... Chinese Mongolian??? Well, I couldn't care less what's *not* covered because what *is* covered is more than adequate. If you even know that Chinese Mongolian scales exist, you don't need this book.</p><p>However, if you're a beginning guitarist who has mastered the basic fundamentals - such as how to press the string onto the frets - this book (and all of Kadmon's books) is a must investment. If you're an intermediate level guitarist, this is a must have. If you're an advanced guitarist, this is a must have.</p><p>Fourteen 7 tone scales are covered: Major, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor & Major, Hungarian Min & Maj, Neapolitan Min & Maj, Enigmatic Minor, Enigmatic, Composite II, Ionian b5, Locrian #7, and Persian.</p><p>Three 5 tone scales are covered: Minor Pentatonic (the blues scale), Kumoi and Hirojoshi.</p><p>Four 6 tone scales: Whole Tone, Augmented, Pelog, Dominant Sus.</p><p>Six 8 tone scales: Diminished, 8 Tone Spanish, Bebop Locrian #2, Bebop Dominant, Bebop Dorian and Bebop Major.</p><p>Every scale is mapped out in every key... on a full fretboard... and in individual patterns. The keyboard patterns are even diagramed so you can see how the scale looks on a keyboard. Perfect for MIDI musicians. Quick Mode Generator charts. Scale/Mode - Chord Charts. Numeric Scale/Mode charts.</p><p>You want to understand the scales and their modes and have the patterns mapped out for you so you can look at them while you practice? </p><p>Buy this book. </p><p>And there's nothing wrong with the books binding either... unless you regularly walk on it or abuse it in some manner such as spilling bear or puking on it.

Outstanding instructional/reference book, September 26, 2003

This review is from: The Guitar Grimoire: A Compendium of Formulas for Guitar Scales and Modes (Paperback)

This impressive tome explains scales, and their various modes, in the most comprehensable manner I’ve ever seen.

Not only are they explained, just about every scale you could want to play is plotted out for you on the fretboard diagrams. Every pattern. Every position. Except for ummm… Chinese Mongolian??? Well, I couldn’t care less what’s *not* covered because what *is* covered is more than adequate. If you even know that Chinese Mongolian scales exist, you don’t need this book.

However, if you’re a beginning guitarist who has mastered the basic fundamentals – such as how to press the string onto the frets – this book (and all of Kadmon’s books) is a must investment. If you’re an intermediate level guitarist, this is a must have. If you’re an advanced guitarist, this is a must have.

Fourteen 7 tone scales are covered: Major, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor & Major, Hungarian Min & Maj, Neapolitan Min & Maj, Enigmatic Minor, Enigmatic, Composite II, Ionian b5, Locrian #7, and Persian.

Three 5 tone scales are covered: Minor Pentatonic (the blues scale), Kumoi and Hirojoshi.

Four 6 tone scales: Whole Tone, Augmented, Pelog, Dominant Sus.

Six 8 tone scales: Diminished, 8 Tone Spanish, Bebop Locrian #2, Bebop Dominant, Bebop Dorian and Bebop Major.

Every scale is mapped out in every key… on a full fretboard… and in individual patterns. The keyboard patterns are even diagramed so you can see how the scale looks on a keyboard. Perfect for MIDI musicians. Quick Mode Generator charts. Scale/Mode – Chord Charts. Numeric Scale/Mode charts.

You want to understand the scales and their modes and have the patterns mapped out for you so you can look at them while you practice?

Buy this book.

And there’s nothing wrong with the books binding either… unless you regularly walk on it or abuse it in some manner such as spilling bear or puking on it. That might ruin the binding.
