Ultimate Guitar Scales Book (Left-Handed Edition): Essential For Every Guitar Player

Left-Handed Edition

Created especially for the left-handed players with left-handed scale boxes. All the other content is the same as the original book 'The Ultimate Guitar Scales Book'.

A Must Have For Every Guitar Player!

From the Minor Pentatonic scale to the more intricate Harmonic Minor and Melodic Minor scales, this book uses both two and three-note-per-string shapes, as well as CAGED shapes, to link scales seamlessly across the entire fretboard. It serves as a comprehensive reference for scale shapes, enabling users to enhance their understanding and practice routines, ultimately aspiring to become a master of the guitar!

It's crucial to clarify that this isn't a theory-focused book, nor is it merely a collection of scales in various keys. The shapes in this book are versatile and can be moved to ANY key! Rather than memorizing countless shapes for each key, mastering a few adaptable ones can be applied universally, saving time and effort.

Book comes with downloadable MP3 audio for exercises in the book as well as backing tracks for no extra cost.

Put together by musician Karl Golden, who has been playing guitar professionally for over 15 years.
