The Guitarist's Scale Book: Over 400 Guitar Scales & Modes Paperback – 18 Sept. 2017

I absolutely love this book. I used to play guitar years ago and recently got back into playing but had forgotten most my scales until I found this little gem of a book. It is so well written and presented that it makes learning the scales all over again more fun and practicing became something I look forward to every day rather than the laborious task that it used to be. The book itself it set up to make learning much faster and putting the scales to memory is a lot easier than it used to be. It is designed for beginner and intermediate guitarists though seasoned players may find some useful material within these pages. I would recommend this book if like me you want to take your playing to the next level, though I would recommend a metronome to help you improve your speed and accuracy. I've only been using the book a few days and already have the A major, B Major and C major scales memorized with just two hours of practice every night. The guitar neck can seem intimidating and a little formidable, but with this book, you'll have it mastered in no time at all it really is that good.

I've bought a lot of music books over the years. Some I've returned, some discarded, some sold on. But this one is definitely a keeper.So clear and concise. Very well laid out, and good to go right from the start.If I had discovered this book earlier on it would have saved me a lot of money. Definitely great value for money, and a book I can apply to many genres. Thank you.

I give it 4 stars as it's A decent reference guide.Helps you visualise where a certain scale should be played.Helps you see the algorithm of the fretboard too.

Used this book for my scalesIt's laid out great and easy to use

It is what it is, a handy reference for scales for those times when your aging brain won’t engage!

What a brilliant and useful book showing all sorts of scales for guitar. I especially like that it gives tablature as well as notation. This book will be invaluable to anyone wanting to practice scales, or use pentatonic scales for improvisation - I know I will be using it a lot.

Good book, easy to follow

God send to guitar playing

Good book, strictly scales and pictures along with it. No fluff and to the point.

Peter Vogl's books are absolutely amazing. He basically gives you every single thing you expect him to, with clear explanations.

Muito util para quem quer aprender guitarra.

Comprehensive scalebook.But the bindngs could be better, as of now its a bit hard to spread it open while going through the scales.

Good to see multiple layouts of each scale. Going on to show exactly the same scale shapes througgh all 12 semitones? A bit of a waste, I think: I can find the different keys for myself thanks. The most interesting part for me was modal scale shapes, plus a couple of 'exotic' scales (which I use extensively as I'm studying the Ritchie Blackmore way of soloing.The scales are easy to follow and well laid out.Great book, despite only 4* (personal niggles which in no way detract from the quality of the book). Definitely worth it.
