Hi Mr. Diez



I have just purchased a copy of your book. It is

really good information. Thank you for putting out the

information. I have a small question, on the shapes,

what logical way can I use to piece them together? For

example in the key of F, shape 1 starts in 6th string

open (E), shape 2 starts in G(3rd fret), I am guessing

that shape '2' means second note of the scale. shape 3

starts at A (5th fret), please let me know if that is

correct. Just happens that Shape 1 doesn't make sense

to me, starting at E it'll maybe be shape 7 instead?



Another question is, why are we not covering

arpeggios?



Thank you

morpheuz,



Shape 2 shares some of the notes from shape 1.  The shape number has

nothing to do with the note of the scale that it begins on. If you

want to be methodical in thinking about the scale forms and how they

fit just remember that the next scale form up the neck begins on the

last note of the previous form on the sixth string. If you are moving

down the neck the last note on the sixth string of the next form will

be the first note of the scale you just played.  It will take some

time to master this and the exercises should help you.



As for arpeggios,  well it's hard not to play the scale forms in

fourths (or fifths) and not get the feeling you are playing

arpeggios... They just kind of sound like arpeggios studies don't

they...  Arpeggios is a technique of playing and I didn't want to

write a book about technique.  The method is meant to anchor you in

your understanding of where the elements of notes, chords, scales and

modes are.



I'm glad you are enjoying the book... ?;O)

Thank you for your help ! Yes I am definitely enjoying

the book. It does require some mental gymnastics as

you mentioned in the beginning of the book. I am

learning jazz guitar and your book helps me to

understand the fretboard better as far as recognizing

notes in the fretboard. I am at the part where there

are mini scales to memorize intervals.

Before that page there is a page where you have 2

fretboards on right and left of the page, one showing

roman numerals and another showing the notes. I

noticed that in one of the shapes, a note i think (IV,

sorry I cant remember which shape right now as I am at

work) I wonder if that is intentionally left out ?



Thanks



Ed
