8 String Guitar: Scales and Arpeggios
On Sale

Eight strings means more fretboard, and most resources respond by giving you more to memorise — five, seven or more patterns per scale, with no explanation of how they connect. That's a lot of admin between you and playing anything.
This reduces the whole thing to three scale patterns that cover the entire neck in standard F#BEADGBE. From those three you get 16 scale types — the major scale and its modes, the pentatonics, and a selection of exotic scales for tonal range — plus 5 arpeggio types including the common sevenths, derived from the same patterns, so the work is already done by the time you reach them.
Everything is laid out in clear fretboard diagrams, movable, transposable to any key. You build fluency across all eight strings while keeping the memorisation to the minimum the instrument will allow.
Same approach as the 7 String Guitar Method, if you're coming from there or heading that way.
