Don, your books have gotten me further in music theory than any other book, software and video, and I have complete bookshelves just for these music media....You've given me a large appetite for learning music theory and different ways of learning that are so easy even my daughter of 11 can grasp the concepts. Thanks again Don.
I'm a big believer in the Hanon exercises for piano, and had never considered applying them to guitar. After playing for 20 years, this book quickly took my playing to another level technically.
I use it on tour before every show...it's great for warming up when time is limited.
Use a metronome and take it slowly at first, and you will get great results.

a combination of scales.
Every
guitar solo you play consists of scales.
Every chord you play is built from scales.
Get the picture?
Scales
are the foundation of music.
Chords
are built from scales.
Melodies
are built from scales.
Guitar
solos and riffs are built from scales.
When you master the crucial guitar scales you’ll:
Learn
songs faster.
Improve
your technique.
Learn
songs by just watching other guitarists.
Learn
songs by ear. You’ll recognize the sound of each scale
and know when it’s used in a song.
Create
killer guitar solos of your own.
Learn
your favourite guitar solos fast!
Eyes Wide Open
Let's take a look at the last point shown above:
"Learn your favourite guitar solos fast". Here is a great eye-opening exercise
that you can do when you get your hands on Guitar Essentials: Scale
Master Expanded Edition.
Grab a guitar magazine
that has a guitar solo you want to learn.Most guitar magazines have performance notes that mention the scale(s)
used in the guitar solos.Before
you play the first note of the guitar solo, play the appropriate scale
fingering(s) from Guitar Essentials: Scale Master Expanded Edition.
No More Confusion
Now you’re ready to start on the guitar solo.As you play through the guitar solo you’ll notice something very
cool…
The very same scale fingerings that are found in Guitar
Essentials: Scale Master Expanded Edition are used in the solo.If identical fingerings aren’t used, you’ll find that slight
variations are.
This means the guitar solo won’t be a confusing mass of
notes anymore. Since you know the scale fingerings used in the guitar solo, you
already know all of the required notes.You
just need to learn the order that the notes occur.Can you see how powerful this is?
Cut the Time it
Takes You to Learn Guitar Solos in Half
When all you have to do is learn the sequence of the notes
in the guitar solo, you’ve just cut your learning time at least in half.All that’s left is the performance aspects (technique) of the guitar solo.Guitar Essentials: Scale Master also helps you with this aspect of
your playing.You'll
learn how to effectively practice scales and improve your technique.
Get Your Pilot’s License
When you watch your favourite guitarists fly all over the
fretboard, you’re witnessing the power of scales.All they’re doing is playing scales and connecting one
scale form to another as they move all over the fretboard.It’s actually not that hard to do.You just need some basic technique and an understanding of how one
scale form links to another.

Dear Don, You may have noticed that this is the second Guitar Quick Start that I have ordered. A good friend of mine was over recently and after seeing and hearing how quickly I was learning to play he wanted this same book. He has been playing for over two years now and really likes the way your book teaches (twelve bar blues in particular).
So thanks from a happy student.

An excellent resource for guitarists.The World of Scales offers a wealth of interesting sounds…much food for thought for the improvising guitarist.
