Dickenson shows the foundations of playing lead guitar with an innovative introduction the pentatonic scales. While most books rely on the student memorizing complicated patterns, Dickenson shows you how you can use 5 basic forms to play in all 15 major keys and all 15 minor keys. A unique aspect of this book is the use of lead-guitar musical examples, allowing to student to immediately apply the material they have learned to actual music. Recommended for students who have successfully completed the Guitar Fundamentals method book or have been playing for at least a year. In addition, this book works well in conjunction with Dickenson's Fretboard Mastery book.
