This humble offering is a summary of possible shapes in music, shown on guitar fretboards. It is beginner to advanced, and you do not need to know how to read music to use this book. The summary of shapes yields thousands of chord inversions, arpeggio inversions, and all modes of all scales are shown as well. Fretboards are shown with formula, as well as broken down into positions, which is the great majority of the book.
Music theory is also a main focus, and may lend itself to ear training, improvisation, and composition. Visualization and application of shapes, and how they fit together is the goal of this book, as it does the work of diagramming shapes for you. There are also a lot more than caged positions of arpeggios and scales, shown as diagonal applications, and also formulas rendered on entire fretboards. With 144 chord/arpeggio formulas diagrammed, and listed as well, and every possible scale, also listed as well as depicted, this is a fairly encyclopedic work.
The Chord/Scale Tables show exactly how chords and arpeggios naturally occur in scales, shown by each scale degree, each mode. Chords and arpeggios that invert into one another are shown in the Chord Inversion Families section. Arpeggio exercises in tablature help to get their movements into the player's hands.
Included is a detailed description of various chord progressions and modulation, as well as planing.
It is 433 pages, which fit 8 1/2 x 11, and it's price in eBook form is $11. My hope is that it will help any guitarist better understand their instrument and bring new life to their music.
