MELODIC ARPEGGIOS FOR LEAD GUITAR, M. Galbo. CD TAB.

An arpeggio is simply playing the notes of a chord, one after another, in a melodic fashion. Piano, bass, string, and horn players routinely find the study of arpeggios a staple of their learning process. But, somehow, guitarists often manage to skip over this essential musical building block.
This book is designed to demystify arpeggios and demonstrate their application in a musical and easy-to-understand format. All of the material is presented within the context of various 'Jam Tracks' which allow students to immediately apply new knowledge and hear for themselves why arpeggios are essential to their playing.

All of the music examples are presented in standard notation and tablature so there is no need to read music. Also includes a special demonstration and playalong CD.

Introduction
This book is a reference guide for guitarists. It is
not intended as a method book, but rather as a reference
book of scales that are easily accessible to
the beginner or advanced guitarist. Regardless of
your musical interest, this book contains the
majority of scales you will encounter in most
styles of music (rock, jazz, country, or blues).
Strong scale knowledge will help build familiarity
with the fretboard and help develop technical ability.
The fifteen scales covered in this book are:
• major (Ionian)
• natural minor (Aeolian)
• Dorian
• Phrygian
• Lydian
• Mixolydian
• Locrian
• harmonic minor
• jazz melodic minor
• Lydian flat-seven
• whole tone
• diminished (whole-half)
• pentatonic (major)
• pentatonic (minor)
• blues scale (with major third and flatted fifth)
Although there are many more scales available,
these scales types were chosen for their popularity
as well as their usefulness.
The Gig Bag Book of Scales for all Guitarists has been
designed with the player in mind. You don't have
to go to your bookshelf to find that bulky chord
encyclopedia that your music stand can't even
hold up, you don't have to break the spine of the
book to get it to stay open, and it doesn't take up
all the space on your music stand. It is easy-tocarry
and easy-to-use. We hope that this book will
serve as a valuable reference source during your
ears as a developing guitarist.

How to Use this Book
It is strongly recommended that you develop a
practice regimen in which you devote some time
to scale study. If you practice one hour each session,
then devote fifteen or twenty minutes to scale
study. Another approach would be to practice
your warm-up exercises with a different scale each
day.
Here are some helpful tips:

• Use the handy thumb index to find the key
you're looking for.
• At the top of each page you will find the scale
type and to the right you'll find the scale formula
(W= whole-step and H = half-step).
• otice that there are five suggested scale types
along with their fingerings. (The scale types and ,
fingerings are only suggested guidelines; you are
encouraged to develop your own scale types and
fingerings.)
• The scales are written in both standard notation
and tablature. You will find a fretboard diagram
at the bottom of the page displaying the scale
pattern (the root of the scale appears as a circle
while the other scale tones appear as black dots).
• In addition, the five fingering types are bracketed
at the top of the fretboard diagram to help you
visualize the scale pattern all over the neck.

whether you are looking to develop chops (technique)
or broaden your scale vocabulary, The Gig
Bag Book of Scales for all Guitarists is for you.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE
It Would be impossible to approach writing a book on the Romero guitar technique without first giving the reverence due my grandfather Celedonio Romero, the creator of the “Romero Technique." The Romero family has given the lovers of the classical guitar a technique and a special approach to this instrument that is so remarkable. Growing up in the Romero family, I was fortunate to have not just one, but four master teachers: my grandfather Celedonio, my father Celin, and my uncles Pepe and Angel. If you can imagine a small boy reaching out to touch, handle, and embrace this instrument of exquisite beauty, then you can get an inkling of my world as a child and teenager. From that to becoming an actual practicing member of the family has been my entire life. Given this magnificent gift of membership, I decided I would like to write a book that would share with other lovers of the guitar the unique "Romero Technique." This would consist of simple melodies, perfect finger placements, and the remarkable use of integrating melody and nuance while creating passion, personality, and character in the art of playing the guitar. All of these parts collectively form the embodiment of the Romero Technique. These parts reflect the training and technique of my grandfather and my own adaptations of these remarkable fundamentals. The exercises, rudies, and repertoire included in this book are the fitst steps mat my grandfather taught his sons, which were then passed on to my cousin Lito and me.
My hope is to give you the reader, you the guitatist, you the aficionado of the guitar all that my grandfather taught my family and me-the incredible art of the guitar. When we play an instrument, we must be very systematic in building our technique, since it will be one of the most vital tools for expressing our emotions through our instrument and its beautiful music. Without a solid technique, we will continuously struggle with our hands, fingers, maybe even with our entire body and our own mind. We should abandon the illusion that one can reach joy and satisfaction in the art of music making without having the proper working toolsour hands and fingers. Finding the correct technique will be an exciting process that will require your patience, sensitivity, and love. During this development, you have to enjoy playing a single note flavored with as much love as if playing a complete concerto. If you take pleasure and pride in playing a single beautiful note or chord, it will not be long before you play two beautiful notes, and then an entire composition. Playing the guitar might seem like entering a great labyrinth with so many possible paths and detailed instructions, but if you follow the instructions step-by-step, you will reach the desired goal.
