The Encyclopedia of Scales and Harmony

The Scale Compendium: Theory, Harmony, and Application is a complete exploration of the melodic and harmonic foundations of music. From ancient modes to modern jazz language, it unveils the logic, beauty, and expressive power hidden within scales. Across its chapters, you’ll travel through the essential frameworks of Western and contemporary music: modes, pentatonics, bebop language, diminished and augmented symmetries, whole tone and chromatic universes. Each section blends theory, notation, harmonic insight, and practical application, making it a valuable companion for students, educators, and performers alike. More than a catalogue of patterns, The Scale Compendium reveals how scales breathe life into harmony and melody — connecting the analytical and the intuitive sides of musicianship. Use it as a reference, a practice guide, or a source of creative inspiration to expand your understanding of tonal and modal relationships.

Technical studies on the II–V–I progression

This method presents 20 exercises designed to develop technical control and melodic fluency over the II–V–I progression, one of the pillars of modern harmony. Each study is written in standard notation and tablature (TAB) for direct and practical application on the instrument. Below every score, a detailed explanation clarifies the melodic, harmonic, and technical ideas, creating a seamless link between theory and performance. The material explores the II–V–I progression in depth, introducing non-diatonic modal substitutions on the V chord to expand harmonic color and expression. All exercises are meant to be transposed into all twelve keys, ensuring a complete and flexible command of the progression. The method suits jazz, rock, fusion, and modern players, offering both solid technical study and creative freedom. Each exercise functions as a short melodic etude, musical, practical, and designed to refine both technique and phrasing. Study Agenda 1. Start slowly: practice each exercise at a low tempo, paying attention to tone, timing, and articulation. 2. Read and analyze: follow the explanations under each score to understand how every melodic line relates to its harmonic background. 3. Gradually increase speed: once the notes and phrasing feel comfortable, bring the tempo up while maintaining control. 4. Transpose to all keys: play every study in all twelve keys to internalize shapes, fingerings, and harmonic functions. 2 5. Use the backing tracks on MuseScore: each of the 20 II–V–I exercises comes with its own built-in backing track on MuseScore. Practice directly with these play-along tracks, slow down the tempo, loop difficult sections, and work on your time and phrasing in real context. 6. Experiment with styles: interpret the same material using swing, straight, rock, or funk grooves to strengthen stylistic versatility. 7. Integrate the ideas: apply the melodic and harmonic concepts in solos, improvisations, and compositions to make them part of your natural vocabulary. This method is a comprehensive and practical journey through the II–V–I progression, guiding you from technical precision to musical expression and from study to performance. Frank Pilato

Technique Book

The Complete Guitar Technique System was born on the front lines of my career, when I stepped in for guitar legend Allan Holdsworth in Andrea Marcelli’s Stories project alongside Jeff Berlin, Gary Willis, and Mitchell Forman. Faced with extreme technical and musical demands, I created a fully customized, progressive method unlike anything I had studied from icons like Frank Gambale or Pat Metheny — a system built for real-world performance at the highest level. This book delivers a structured path to total technical freedom, organized into three precision-engineered sections: Diatonic patterns for pure melodic contexts Chromatic patterns for advanced outside playing Hybrid patterns blending both worlds for limitless improvisation All the exercises are provided in Guitar Pro format, so you can listen to the examples, follow along, and even customize them to suit your own needs. You’ll also get a comprehensive PDF book where every picking pattern is explained in detail — from right-hand and left-hand techniques to hybrid picking — making this a complete, all-in-one method.
