About the Author Peter started playing guitar in 2nd grade and very quickly realized his calling. He played in several bands through his years at Okemos High, and proceeded to study classical guitar in college at the University of Ga. under the tutelage of John Sutherland. After receiving his undergraduate degree in Classical Guitar Performance Peter continued with his studies on a assistantship at James Madison University. While there he taught classes as large as 110 people at both James Madison and Mary Baldwin College. Peter moved back to Georgia and began playing the club circuit in Atlanta as a soloist and with a multitude of bands. He also founded and managed several schools of guitar including the Guitar Learning Center. During this time Peter produced many products for Cassette and Video such as The Guitarist s Chord Book, The Guitarist s Scale Book, The Guitarist s Intro to Blues, The Guitarist s Intro to Rock, The Guitarist s Tablature Book, and the Let s Jam Series. In the 90 s Peter met Jan Smith and began to play with the Jan Smith Band performing on several of her CDs including nonstop Thrill, Surrender, and Resurrection. In 2001 Peter moved into Jan Smith Studios where he continues to teach and do session work with local and national talent. Peter has performed on stage with talents such as Michael Bolton, Cee-Lo, Kelly Price, Steve Vai, Earl Klugh, Sharon Isbon, and Sleepy Brown. In collaboration with the NARAS organization he is the band leader each year at the Heroes Award Dinner in Atlanta. Peter s disc, So Many Notes, So Little Time, a guitar instrumental record, is slated to be released the summer of 2005. Peter is also working on a new acoustic record featuring his nylon string playing. Stay tuned as Peter plans on continuing his recording, teaching, and publishing careers into the foreseeable future.

Requires input of other sources to begin
This book is comprehensive and very good, but, be forewarned. For an absolute beginner who is self-teaching, it needs the input of others or an Internet search to understand some of the basics. For example: There is a "C" in the middle of every staff that eluded me. An Internet search revealed that the "C" stands for "common time" which translates to 4/4 time which is what I know. This is very basic but I didn't at first appreciate that the scales were moving down the neck. You might laugh, but a very brief explanation would put this straight: "All scales are present in different places on the fretboard. Here is the scale map for A major. Note the changes of frets as they appear in the diagram."

A Real Gem
I absolutely love this book. Like the reviewer above. I too have a compilation of scale books only to find the exact same scales in those books as the ones contained in this little book. I warm up with this book daily and I've come across some I never seen or heard of before and thats so much fun to practice to. One thing I do find deceptive is the repetitive collection of the so-called 400 scales, which are the exact same scales played at different frets and the book is filled to the brim with this fact. With that out of the way. This book is a real gem and it does the job which is what we want anyway.Good buy!

I like tips it gives.
This book is small, but actually has some decent content. Just like most scale books. You can take a little from each.
