Discover the Secret Behind Iconic Guitar Improvisation. * The Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns for Guitar is a powerful tool for advanced players seeking to break boundaries in jazz, fusion, rock, or classical improvisation. Adapted specifically for guitarists, this edition distills Nicolas Slonimsky’s original masterpiece into a focused, fretboard-friendly resource edited by Dave Celentano. * * Master Twelve-Tone Patterns and Unleash New Creative Possibilities. * This method breaks down complex musical sequences into mathematical patterns that train your ear, fingers, and improvisational instincts. You’ll explore symmetrical scales, arpeggios, interval sequences, and melodic inversions, unlocking new vocabulary and phrasing techniques. * * Visual Fretboard Diagrams Make Concepts Clear. * Each exercise includes fretboard visuals and progressive guidance, allowing guitarists to internalize advanced techniques logically. Whether practicing slowly or incorporating patterns into fast soloing, the clarity of this method encourages efficient learning. * * Trusted by the Legends. * Used as a source of inspiration by guitar masters and innovators like Frank Zappa and John Coltrane, the original Thesaurus remains essential reading for serious musicians. This guitar edition brings that legacy into practical use for today's players. * * A Must-Have Resource for Music Teachers and Serious Guitarists. * Ideal for private study, higher music education, or advanced curriculum, this book is also a top-tier music teacher resource. It’s a thoughtful gift for any guitarist ready to explore new dimensions of melodic structure, scale logic, and improvisational mastery.

It took this company three times to get me the items that I ordered. The first two orders I placed never arrived. However, this one did and I am happy with my Genkouyoushi notebooks. Third time is the charm. Thank you.

Perfect for getting back into playing piano again

These spiral bound piano books are absolutely the bomb! With these books, the challenge is all in the playing - not in keeping the book open. My only minor complaint is that the printing needs to be a little further out from the binding. There is a wide margin on the outside, but an insufficient margin on the inside. BTW, customer service has been great too!

Love these books

I always love the feeling of holding and reading books . And especially these books- able to lie flat, turn pages, flip around. Just the best - sometimes it is the little things
