Exotic Scales You'll Actually Use - Ten Scales in the 2 Position Guitar Scale System

Most exotic scale books are dictionaries. You get two hundred scales, a box shape for each, and a name that sounds interesting. Then you try Hungarian minor over a G chord, it sounds like a mistake, and the book goes back on the shelf.

The problem isn’t the scales. It’s that nobody tells you where they go.

This book covers ten scales, and every one of them earns its place by working somewhere specific. Each chapter tells you what the scale sounds like, which chords it fits, which chords to avoid, and gives you short phrases that sound like the scale rather than an exercise.

There are no new shapes to learn. Every scale here is a scale you already know with one or two notes moved or taken out, played in the same two positions as The 2 Position Guitar Scale System. The diagrams show exactly which notes changed and where they came from. You don’t need the earlier book: Chapter 1 teaches both positions from scratch.

THE TEN SCALES

Spanish and Middle Eastern: Phrygian dominant, double harmonic, Persian

Dark minor: Hungarian minor, Neapolitan minor, Neapolitan major, Ukrainian Dorian

Five notes: Hirajoshi, In, Kumoi
