    An excellent addition to any guitarists' practice routine
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2010*

This was recommended to me by a guitarist with a Phd in performance.It is a very helpful booklet with all the diatonic major and minor scales. The minor scales ascend in melodic minor, and then descend in natural minor. The rule in general music theory is that when you use mel minor, you always descend in natural minor. It was created that way in order to function with certain chord progressions. I can't provide an example from early music theory, but I learned a great use of melodic minor with ii-V-i changes in jazz music.e.g. in c minor:ii - dmin7(flat5)>> play f mel.minor (basically the mel.minor pattern from the 4th degree of c). It hits the flat5.V7 - G7(flat5,flat9... any alteration)>> play 'a flat' mel.minor (basically the mel.minor pattern from the 6th degree of c). It hits a few altered tones in the dominant chord.i - cmin7The scale exercises in this booklet can facilitate better knowledge of the fretboard, maneuverability along the fretboard, and help prepare one for navigation through diatonic chord progressions. The different picking patterns that are suggested also aid in the development of right hand technique. The "i-m-a-i-m-a-i" pattern is one that I'm skipping for now... pretty tough.Practice it for 2 hours at a time if you can, as it recommends. It has helped my technique in both hands.

    The Definitive Instruction
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2022*

Sergovia's 'Diatonic Major and Minor Scales' book is the definitive instruction on creating and playing those scales on guitar. The excellent and efficient ergonomics for playing those scales is of great physical benefit to the player. Of the minor scales the melodic (a.k.a., jazz) minor is used when ascending the scale and the relative (a.k.a., natural) scale is used when descending the scale. So, for each major scale two types of minor scale are given. To open up your melodic playing beyond the physical limits of 'box form' scales there is no better instruction. Only a minimum understanding of music notation and the guitar fretboard is required to play these scales (all of which is available on-line at no cost). Regardless of the style of guitar you play - classical, pop, jazz, blues, R&B, or funk - mastering these scales is great ear training as well as wonderful for optimizing left and right hand coordination. You can't pick a groove or a rhythm if your two hands aren't working together. With these scales at your command and at your fingertips, it is a small step to mastering modes (and gets you closer to chord voicing as well). When practiced with a metronome these scales will certainly raise your abilities to wonderful heights.

    Great book but flimsy
  

*by T***9 on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013*

I love this book and it's pretty easy to understand, but there are some confusing parts when first starting out. I was entirely new to Segovia scales so that's why I had some difficulty reading it in the beginning. Now my only true problem with this book is that it is very flimsy, strictly Paper cover, not lamented paper but straight paper. Any spills this or rain it could be ruined.
