Review: Guitar Scales in Context - I had previously bought another book but it didn't give me what I wanted; its Ok knowing scales but, how do you use them! Fortunately i came across this book by Joseph Alexander and as the title says it puts scales into context, provides backing tracks to down load and importantly gives me licks to try and play along. This is exactly what I am looking for. The book is well laid out and easy to understand. Not all scales are included, but the main and important ones are and therefore more than enough to get on with. Mastering any or all of them would make you into a fantastic guitar player - so who knows! Whilst everything is in one key - C and it would be more helpful if there was a blend of scales, Joseph does explain how to play in different keys which helps me to improve my knowledge rather than relying on looking at scales and riffs only - which (may be an age thing I am a senior starting late on my guitar journey) just looking I don;t seem to retain as much as "learning" and figuring things out for myself! All in all a great book if you want to know more about scales and how to use that knowledge. Review: Good for starting compositions - Really useful for starting off song ideas in a certain mood. I never really got modes or how to use them before, but this book has really helped me understand how to use them creatively. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 824 in Guitars 1,022 in String Instruments (Books) 1,951 in Music Instruction & Study | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 515 Reviews | ## Images ![Guitar Scales in Context: The Practical Reference Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41E2bfhIvlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Guitar Scales in Context *by P***A on 26 March 2021* I had previously bought another book but it didn't give me what I wanted; its Ok knowing scales but, how do you use them!

I never really got modes or how to use them before, but this book has really helped me understand how to use them creatively. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by C***Y on 26 June 2015* Reading this book has improved my technical ability. My solos are more varied and more fluid and I am finding I am able to access more of the fretboard. The book has a teach yourself style, despite the scales being very detailed. I would like more advice in scale progressions and examples of how to either merge or transit from one scale to another. Perhaps I will achieve this through more practise though; which is fine. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/53936311-guitar-scales-in-context-the-practical-reference-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/53936311-guitar-scales-in-context-the-practical-reference-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
