Members Y4RUH8? Posted July 5, 2006 Members Posted July 5, 2006 The Guitar Grimore series of books by Adam Cadman are amazing. I recently purchased the Grimoire on scales/modes and I must say it contains a wealth of info on practically every scale/mode from major, to hirojoshi, to neopolitan. I already understand the structure of scales/chords from college theory, but to this book provides them in every possible position on the fret board. anyone else agree/disagree??
Members joenovice Posted July 5, 2006 Members Posted July 5, 2006 I will disagree..... They are very full. Lots of stuff and that's good to a point but can be overwhelming for some. The worst comment I can make is in respect to the editing. I have found many errors withing the Grim. series of books. Students will bring them in to discuss using patterns and I'll find errors. Double check what you're learning against theorical knowledge.
Members joenovice Posted July 5, 2006 Members Posted July 5, 2006 I've found that once you have studied the "Unitar" from Mick Goodrick's "Advancing Guitarist" the need for scale patterns become a thing of the past.
Members bardsley Posted July 6, 2006 Members Posted July 6, 2006 Yeah, though it takes a remarkable level of discipline to spend the necessary time on the unitar. Though I guess that's the point isn't it?
Members astring Posted July 6, 2006 Members Posted July 6, 2006 those grimoire books are not that hip. The voicings in the "jazz" progressions in his chord progression book are pretty square and not that usable. As for the scales books, that approach is not helpful, I mean where do I use that Hindu scale (maybe I will try it over a dom 7 somewhere). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786665076/sr=8-1/qid=1152170387/ref=sr_1_1/104-8805713-0967969?ie=UTF8this is a pretty cool scales book.
