What is your skill level? What are your musical goals?

[quote=justcallmejerry]I found this one:

The Guitarist's Scale Book: Over 400 Guitar Scales & Modes

That's a pretty heavy duty book! But it's virtually impossible to say if you will benefit from it without knowing more about your situation. Are you a beginner? Intermediate? Can you already play a wide variety of scale & want more to work on? Do you want to know scales to play blues? Rock? Country? Jazz?

Have you worked through any of the GT tutorials on scales & modes? I have a ton of tutorials on those topics in my directory. Scroll down to see sections on major & minor scales from beginner through intermediate & advanced. Also sections on how to use scales to improvise in wide variety of musical situations. Also sections on modes!

Hope that helps!
