3 Shape Fretboard: Guitar Scales and Arpeggios as Variants of 3 Shapes of the Major Scale
by Gareth Evans“3 Shape Fret-board by Gareth Evans is a thorough workbook for learning to understand and play scales on the guitar. The sheer number of different scales and modes may seem overwhelming, but the knowledge of the three basic shapes and a basic understanding of intervals will help a lot in seeing through the jungle. A tour de force of fret-board and scale knowledge.” Mathias Lang, Guitar Teacher & Composer (Netherlands) 3-Shape Fretboard is for intermediate to advanced guitarists interested in learning how to work out guitar scales and arpeggios for themselves. Being able to create guitar scales and arpeggios yourself can give a better understanding, while knowing the logic behind them can make them more meaningful and therefore easier to learn. - The Major Scale It all starts with the major scale, the basis of music. All other scales and arpeggios can be defined in comparison to this scale. The book reflects this in practical terms by categorising the major scale into three different fundamental shapes, which once understood, can be used as templates to figure out other guitar scales and arpeggios.- The CAGED system This system can help to understand the larger CAGED guitar scale shapes in terms of their single octave components. For example, the five CAGED shapes for the major (or minor) pentatonic scales that each contain twelve notes, can be learned as only two shapes of five notes, which are joined end to end to give us the five full CAGED shapes. - What Else? >> Various 3-Note per string scales can be understood as the same combination of single octave component types. >> See how basic major and minor chords are formed from within scales and look at triad and 7th chord based harmony. >> Each scale and arpeggio type has a question, with the answer at the back of the book in guitar tablature. >> 3-Shape Fretboard contains 600 fretboard diagrams. >> Intervals are grouped together in the context of the scales they are intended for, which can provide a foundation for learning intervals individually on the fretboard. "The 3 pattern approach is very interesting and well documented. There is lot's of good material and I like the approach. Very well organised, complete and clear with plenty of diagrams." Fabien Aubry, Composer, Arranger & Producer (Switzerland)
The 3 Ms of Fearless Digital Parenting: Proven Tools to Help You Raise Smart and Savvy Online Kids
by Carrie Rogers-WhiteheadHow can we protect our kids online—and teach them to protect themselves? Do you feel overwhelmed with technology in your home? Do headlines about this app or that website make you feel anxious and undecided as a parent? Do you get advice from many experts—but still feel unclear on what to do? The book unpacks the &“3 Ms&” of parenting in the digital age, a proven approach used with thousands of parents through the work of Digital Respons-Ability and its founder, Carrie Rogers-Whitehead. When Carrie first started working in the field of digital citizenship, she found significant gaps in how digital parenting was taught. Not only were parents not informed enough around technology, they also didn&’t understand child developmental stages. Parents&’ expectations for their children were unrealistic because they didn&’t know how online responsibility changes at different ages, as children&’s brains change. From this realization, Carrie developed the 3 Ms—three approaches to digital parenting, based on specific age ranges: Model (ages 0-8)Manage (ages 8-13)Monitor (ages 13-18) By teaching parents how to change their approach to digital responsibility based on the developmental stage of their child, she has seen significant success in fostering happier and healthier relationships between parents and kids, as well as safer tech use by kids at all ages. This book presents Carrie&’s approach in an accessible, easy-to-implement manner, giving all parents the opportunity to develop better tech use in their own homes and families, and to parent confidently and without fear.
