Due to the rise in popularity of 8-string guitar, as well as the added complexity of learning scales, chords and arpeggios on the instrument, we’ve come up with a novel system for learning scales and arpeggios on 8-string guitar using the minimum amount of scale patterns possible, so that you can get straight to the good stuff: making music. I’d like to show the most efficient and least time-consuming way to learn scales and arpeggios on an 8 string guitar in standard tuning (F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E), which will both up your game technically and allow you, through consistent practice, to quickly gain a working knowledge of the most useful scales and arpeggios in music. In this book, we cover 21 scales and arpeggios includes the major scale and its modes, pentatonic scales, the most common seventh arpeggios and a selection of exotic scales to broaden your tonal palette.

This guide maps out the "Greek" or "Church" modes: IONIAN, DORIAN, PHRYGIAN, LYDIAN, MIXOLYDIAN, AEOLIAN and LOCRIAN for you on 8 string guitar in standard tuning. (F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E.) Each mode is mapped out all over the neck and as the 7, 3 note per string patterns that link together to let you play in any mode in any key anywhere on the guitar neck and now as several 4 octave options. The scales have been mapped out showing all the relative intervals in each pattern making it much easier for you apply the information to your playing by putting the dots in a harmonic context. This edition has been extended to almost double the size of the original book and now includes 4 note per string 4 octave plus scales and either 4 note then 3 note (4/3) or 3 note then 4 note (3/4) fragments that can be moved at octaves to cover nearly 4 octaves. I have also added 4 NPS patterns based on extended 3NPS shapes so you can move some four finger 4 NPS licks across the neck. It's up to you to decide where you want to use 4 fingers, or add a slide, but the whole fretboard is now unlocked!
