Method-Man Guitar - Steven Alexander
About the Author
Steven Alexander
Over the years, I have been involved with music and especially the six-string instrument that we call the Guitar for over the past twenty years. Over those years I found it difficult to learn the Box shape, and CAGED shape patterns for scales it was confusing to move from one pattern to the next and seems with each new box pattern, I would forget the box pattern that I previously worked on.
So, I formulated an amazingly uncomplicated way that I used in my studies and practice with the hope that it will help and educate others to understand simple concepts that will take them a long way on the road of discovery and appreciation of the Guitar.
Purpose
Is to convey another method of Learning Guitar Scales, using four notes, five shape patterns, that will reduce the time that practicing and learning scales normally takes.
Practice
Practice pattern/shape that relates to each scale degree until you can play that pattern/shape without thought.
The Guitar
One of the biggest mistakes, a person makes when trying to learn the guitar is, for most players is amount of time it takes to learn the basics.
There are 16 million Americans that has started learning to play guitar over the past two years, 8 million per year, according to Fender
A Guitar takes time, effort, memorization, and hand to eye coordination. Because of those efforts According to the Fender chief, the company found that of the 45 per cent of guitars Fender sold in a year that went to new players; 90 per cent abandoned the instrument within their first year as a beginner.
And finally, Science Says 92 Percent of People Don't Achieve Their Goals.
This book is designed to be able to quickly play, and understand Major and Minor Pentatonic scales, and Arpeggio’s.
Most students of the guitar usually give up learning in weeks or months after they initially start learning. Due to reasons of no-time, too difficult, or just too many things to learn, such a s chords, scales, or theory but one of the main reasons is that notes and placements of the note on the fretboard seem impossible to remember all these locations. I am going to show you an uncomplicated way learn the notes.
Always keep in mind, that the Guitar is a patterned based instrument, this book is entirely based on showing these patterns.
