Skeptical Guitarist-Vol 1

Guitar Book

We start off talking about how to play blues accompaniment, known as comping, by working the Blues Shuffle and Guitar Boogie patterns into the Twelve Bar Blues chord progression in the Keys of A and E.
Then it's on to the use of the Minor Pentatonic Scale in blues lead playing, first in Open Position and then around the neck using five different Box Patterns, or pockets of notes, that follow the C-A-G-E-D System of chord and scale leayout. The less commonly used Major Pentatonic scale is discussed and put into practice up the neck. Finally, we look at slide guitar technique, first in Standard Tuning, then in Open Tunings.

Jazz for the Skeptical Guitarist

Grade

The original Guitar from Scratch method has been an ideal book for self-taught guitarists for several years. This "streamlined" edition takes the best parts of the original book and enhances it for one-on-one or classroom guitar lessons. Students learn about chords, scales, twelve-bar blues and more to understand the basics of playing the guitar. The updated version is presented more like a teaching manual, allowing the instructor to provide their own tips and interpretation into the material. Audio tracks and examples are available from the publisher's website.

Guitar from Scratch

Presented using Standard Music Notation (the dots, flags and beams) as well as piano keyboard diagrams, the story is told mainly from the perspective of the Key of C (all the white keys) to create a firm foundation with minimal distraction. Other keys appear, but we keep returning to C for simplicity.  Notes are assembled into scales, which are used to generate chords and families of chords, which are then seen to connect with each other through the Circle of Fifths. After arriving at this point with the help of the major scale, we move on to examine how various minor scales and jazz modes contribute to the universal musical experience.
