A Modern Method for Guitar Scales – Essential Guitar Scales and Fingering Patterns | Berklee Guide Guitar Method Book | Learn Scale Techniques with Tablature

A good tool to learn scales, things to practice, ways to improve the reading of music.

The three books by William Leavitt, that this is tailgating, are the best method books ever written for guitar IMO and I have been collecting guitar books (and playing) since the 70's. The Leavitt books are a hard act to follow. But its large, a good thing, clearly written and there's a useful chord, scale relationship chart in the Appendix. It's another scale book, one of many available, and though not a necessary addition to the Leavitt guitar method, if you are looking for a scale book it’s a good place to start.

This is one of the books that every guitar player should practice. The concepts are explained clearly and to the point.

A well laid out teaching method. Well worth it!

This is a great book - a quick easy-to-navigate entree to all of the scale work from the famous 3-part Leavitt Berklee guitar series. Larry Baione is intimately familiar with The Berklee guitar method books, having worked at Berklee with Leavitt and then taken over the helm of the guitar Berklee department after Bill. It's all laid out nicely, easy to read, and a lot of nice original material and scale-oriented etudes as a bonus! - Dave Askren

This is a very good book to assist any guitar player in learning scales. It is clear and organized. The book contains fingering patterns and multiple scale exercises. I have noticed an improvement in a short time since I received the book. I highly recommend this book if one is serious about learning scale patterns on the guitar.

👍

I wish this book had more teaching stuff , other than just the position charts

Premetto che ero alla ricerca di un libro di supporto da usare a lezione con i miei allievi per la pratica delle scale. Un libro veramente inutilizzabile. Vi dico solo che secondo lui esistono cinque posizioni per la scala maggiore (corretto, prima di allegare un inutile studio in cui esegue tutte le diteggiature in posizione partendo sempre da Fa#), tre (secondo lui le più usate, e omette le altre) per la pentatonica maggiore e due (?!?!?) per la pentatonica minore.Una specie di barzelletta questo libro, come diversi altri di questa collana Berklee Press, completamente deludente da tutti i punti di vista, non professionali ed inadatti anche per gli amatori.

Como un manual de referencia básico no está mal por el precio que tiene, pero en algunos puntos es muy incompleto.Hay escalas que desarrolla con cierta profundidad, pero otras las muestra a un nivel muy superficial. Bajo la idea de que el libro muestra las posiciones más usadas, omite otras que he visto en otros manuales y que son muy importantes.No estaba de más añadir un par de diagramas más con esas posiciones.Tengo otros 4 libros de Berklee y este sin duda es el más pobre.

Exceptionally well explained and organized!

Manera algo enredosa de explicar escalas, Un malIntento de explicar un punto de vista “diferente” y rebuscado de los modos griegos 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great approach to scales!
