Thus, for each of them, you will discover on the left page the name and the location of the notes of the piano?s keyboard (2 octavos), as well as the chords on which the scale in question can be played safely. On the right page, as an illustration, you will discover a long improvisation that uses this one and only range, accompanied by two recordings (to download), the first for the demonstration and the second for the implementation (playback support). You can then play your turn on this soundtrack not only the example offered, but also any other solo, melody or improvisation of your design... from the minor scale in question of course!

Les gammes pentatoniques sont à la guitare ce que l'alphabet est à notre langue : une base indispensable, un passage obligé ! Et c'est donc à ce titre que la présente méthode constitue en quelque sorte votre passeport pour la six cordes ! Au programme de cet ouvrage : la gamme pentatonique mineure (indispensable), la gamme pentatonique majeure (essentielle), ainsi que d'autres gammes de 5 notes (plus anecdotiques) que nous qualifierons de pentatoniques hybrides. N'allez surtout pas vous imaginer que, sous prétexte que ce livre est dédié aux gammes, il pourrait être ennuyeux... il y sera évidemment question d'un minimum de théorie et de technique, pour votre plus grand bien, mais aussi et avant tout de pratique, avec de très nombreux exemples musicaux à la clef, répartis entre riffs et solos. Le CD MP3 joint à la méthode vous permettra d'entendre tous les exemples techniques et musicaux (riffs et autres solos), afin de lever le voile sur d'éventuelles difficultés d'interprétation. Il vous donnera également la possibilité de jouer sur les très nombreux playbacks proposés, dans différentes tonalités et à différentes vitesses, sur les grilles de quelques grands tubes de la guitare, librement ou selon les informations fournies. Soit 7 heures de musique en tout ! / Guitare

Even if you don't read music notation this illustrated method works perfectly: keyboard and stave illustrations give greater clarity for both readers and non-readers alike, covering every major and minor key: Book 1 begins with those scales required for Grades 1 and 2; Book 2 covers the scales for Grades 3 and 4; Book 3 covers Grade 5 and then revisits ALL previously learnt scales In addition, each book includes the essential chords required for simple improvisations in each key covered.
