Adam Kadmon, who is admittedly a completeness freak, has created one of the most complete scale books I've ever encountered. There are several qualms I have with this particular volume (not necessarily applicable to his other ones), which account for my low rating.

First, however, I must point out its positive qualities.

from Amazon.com All the Guitar Grimoire books in particular should be about 10-20 pages long, in which case they would be very interesting guide pamphlet (for example: for this exotic scale, this is the interval pattern, the diatonic chords, finger patterns for each mode; have fun). However, by getting a computer to generate every possible fingering pattern for every key/mode that you can easily derive yourself is a waste of paper. from Amazon.com Do guitar players really think that it's worth [...] bucks to have this guy show them the same pattern or idea printed over and over again in every single key? Or is it just cool to have a thick book with nice fonts and cool looking little charts (even though they're totally redundant)? from Amazon.com For amateurs only. I was disappointed with this book. I learned most of these scales and modes within my first 3 years of playing guitar. from Amazon.com I bought this book with the expectation that it would explain how to play all of the scales and modes. The book is actually more of a reference, just shoving all the scales at you and saying "Here, that's all of them". from Amazon.com i cant give a high enough rating for the grimoire serious. i highly recommend all of them, the books and the dvds. from Amazon.com I purchased this book along with the companion dvd, "Scales and Modes". The book is rather confusing and droll. from Amazon.com I would avoid books that say they have a sytem or formula for learning the guitar..this book is not for the beginner. I consider myself to be pretty intermediate at guitar, and had a hard time with this. from Amazon.com No, this is not a book for a beginner...but EVERY GUITARIST should have this book (and the ENTIRE Guitar Grimiore series) on their bookshelves! I have been playing the guitar for 31 years, and, quite frankly, I got pretty bored with my playing after the first 25 years. from Amazon.com Should you buy this book? te answer is yes from Amazon.com
