Hacking the CAGED System – Book 2 picks up where Book 1 left off as we go deeper into scales, chords, arpeggios and harmony to expand our range of harmonic expression on the guitar, as well as providing you with the tools you need to put that advanced harmonic expression into action in your own playing. In Book 2 we expand the diatonic chord range into 6s, sus chords, 9th chords, put the finishing touches to our knowledge of the major scale, and explore the possibilities of the melodic minor scale along with its chord, arpeggio and modal system.
Book 2 also includes 8 of the funkiest full-band backing tracks* you’re ever likely to hear in a guitar book to help you get to grips with melodic minor scale and its modes! Who is this Book for? Book 2 in the series is suitable for self-study or with a guitar teacher, and is aimed at anyone who’s been working with the material from Hacking the CAGED System – Book 1 and wishes to build on the solid foundation they’ve created in structuring chords, arpeggios, scales and modes on the fretboard by adding more types of chords to their repertoire, improving their picking technique, gaining a complete picture of the major scale, and exploring the melodic minor scale and its modes.
