Due to the rise in popularity of 8-string and extended range guitars, as well as the added complexity of learning scales, chords and arpeggios on the instrument, we’ve come up with a novel system for learning 8-string guitar scales and arpeggios using the minimum amount of scale patterns possible, so that you can get straight to the good stuff: making music.With so many more tonal options and fingerings at your disposal, I’d like to show the most efficient and least time-consuming way to learn 8 string guitar scales and arpeggios in standard tuning (F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E), which will both up your game technically and allow you, through consistent practice, to quickly gain a working knowledge of the most useful scales and arpeggios in music.In this book, we cover the major scale and its modes, pentatonic scales, the most common seventh arpeggios and a selection of exotic scales to broaden your tonal palette.
