    Excellent way to advance your playing

    At first I was a bit skeptical of the quality of an musical instructional book "for dummies", but it was the only comprehensive guide covering scales and arpeggios, so I picked it up. The great thing about this book is that it really acts as an instructional guide as opposed to most scale books which are really just reference guides.

    This book is best for the player who has a good bit of experience with chords, overall technique, alternate picking, etc. I was in a position where I've been playing for years, trying to learn songs from tab. I knew learning scales would make a huge difference in the quality of my playing as well as make it easier to learn new songs.

    I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to bring their playing to a new level by learning scales and arpeggios.
