Review "Damon is an extraordinary composer, but he is also a shredder. I have had some very revealing conversations with him about his secrets. This book, Guitar Scales Handbook now makes Damon's experience available to any and all. It covers the basics and then goes on to a unique approach to advanced scales."--William Anderson, Music Professor and Professional Guitarist"Damon Ferrante has written a clear and comprehensive book about scales, Guitar Scales Handbook. I know him as an accomplished composer and guitarist, and this book is a wonderful step by step guide to scales and their application. Helpful for the beginner or advanced guitarist."--Oren Fader, Music Professor and Professional Guitarist"Only a writer with decades of experience as performer, composer, and teacher could produce Guitar Adventures. Damon Ferrante has distilled a lifetime of thinking about music into the fundamental building blocks of musicianship. He does more than show you around the fingerboard--Ferrante demonstrates how to think musically, about the guitar or any instrument."--Robert Battistini, Professor and Music Writer"Within a few hours the beginning student will make rapid progress into this book and learn about root notes and major, minor, augmented, and diminished chord structures.

Reviews
Another great book from Damon Ferrante!Before start working with this Handbook, Arpeggio were nice to listen to, but kind of nightmare to play (especially some more technical/tricky ones).Now I am actually having fun playing them! And I am improving so much!The book is so clear and so well structured that it is extremely easy to plan practice, even if you don't have so much time!Studying guitar has never been so fun (and effective!).I definitely would recommend both beginners and advance students to buy this book!!!
