Exotic scales usually get taught as curiosities. You learn the Hungarian minor, play it up and down a few times, admire the sound, and never use it again — because nobody told you what to play it over.
This book fixes that by organising fifteen hand-picked exotic scales and modes according to chord types you already know and already use. Persian, Byzantine, Hirajoshi, Neapolitan, Phrygian dominant, Scriabin and the rest, each filed under the chords it belongs with. The strange sounds go into the music you're already playing rather than sitting in a separate compartment marked "advanced".
The final section goes the other way: two straightforward methods for building chord progressions out of any scale in the book. Strange and beautiful is the aim.
It uses the same simple, musical approach as the original Intermediate Guitar Scales Handbook, but you don't need to have read that one — this works as a stand-alone. If you have read it, the groundwork is already done.
