5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, Essential,

This review is from: Diatonic Major and Minor Scales (Paperback)
These scales are simply spectacular for developing both the left hand and the right (especially if you follow the right hand fingerings indicated by Segovia). At first it seems a little unreasonable to practice them for two hours a day, as recommended in the preface, but if you do as Segovia suggests and play each scale seven times, according to each fingering pattern, it takes at least that long to simply play through the book, which I would highly recommend doing every day.

This review is from: Diatonic Major and Minor Scales (Paperback)
This is about as simple as you can get. Eight pages long, including a one-page introduction from Segovia. The transcriptions of the scales are designed for classical guitarists, with major and melodic minor forms for every key. This is an incredible tool for learning the notes up and down the fretboard, and exactly what anybody studying classical guitar in a university setting will need.

This review is from: Diatonic Major and Minor Scales (Paperback)
This was recommended to me by a guitarist with a Phd in performance.
It is a very helpful booklet with all the diatonic major and minor scales. The minor scales ascend in melodic minor, and then descend in natural minor. The rule in general music theory is that when you use mel minor, you always descend in natural minor. It was created that way in order to function with certain chord progressions. I can't provide an example from early music theory, but I learned a great use of melodic minor with ii-V-i changes in jazz music. e.g. in c minor: ii - dmin7(flat5)>> play f mel.minor (basically the mel.minor pattern from the 4th degree of c). It hits the flat5. V7 - G7(flat5,flat9... any alteration)>> play 'a flat' mel.minor (basically the mel.minor pattern from the 6th degree of c). It hits a few altered tones in the dominant chord. i - cmin7 The scale exercises in this booklet can facilitate better knowledge of the fretboard, maneuverability along the fretboard, and help prepare one for navigation through diatonic chord progressions. The different picking patterns that are suggested also aid in the development of right hand technique. The "i-m-a-i-m-a-i" pattern is one that I'm skipping for now... pretty tough. Practice it for 2 hours at a time if you can, as it recommends. It has helped my technique in both hands.
