About the Book

Just about every musician has at some point thought that they should probably learn some scales and practice them.

But almost no one ever does.

I think that's partly because it's not clear WHY.

There's at least two excellent reasons to practice scales.

The obvious one is that it's good for coordination with both hands. The goal is to remove the physical obstacles that might impede a musical idea from materializing.

It doesn't take long with any of these forms before you're able to play them with your eyes closed ... and that's exactly what you want, because then you're LISTENING to what you play, not watching your fingers wiggle.

The second reason is that it's great ear training. When you can play the scales well enough to hear them inside your head, then you can hum a tune and figure out the chords while you're strolling down the avenue.

I start with abbreviated 5 note examples of the scales in the open positions because that's enough. Then they're moved up the neck in to moveable forms with no open strings. Then you'll learn to link them together..

There's several well known examples that illustrate just how most melodies can be found in the scales, and they're tabbed in four different places on the guitar neck, as well as two different tabs for mandolin. The same stuff is available for ukulele in a free download.

This book is an excerpt taken from Garage Band Theory and you might find that to be a better value - it's available on Amazon.

GBT covers everything you need to understand, play and make your own music!

Here is a very brief recap of what you get when you order GBT:
-Multi-genre approach - dozens of musical examples provide lots of variety, which makes you more well rounded musically.
-Chapter quizzes and an answer key allows students to measure progress.
-Learn to read music - with GBT examples + free software you develop reading skills without having to actually play an instrument.
-Tablature for guitar, mandolin, banjo as well as a standard notation for keyboards, brass and woodwinds.

The YouTube channel has over 250 videos so you can listen to every song used as an example. After all, playing by ear is about listening and GBT is the ONLY book that provides that.

There's plenty of exercises using familiar songs and with a free download of MuseScore you can listen to them play.

Playing by ear involves listening and with Garage Band Theory you can!

The stuff in GBT is about understanding The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Cole Porter and Duke Ellington, The Grateful Dead and Vampire Weekend.

It's NOT about analyzing Bach Fugues.... but you'll be able to if you want to.

There are loads of exercises and examples using familiar songs and with the free downloads on the book's website you can watch and hear the notes play at any speed you choose.
