A guitar and music theory method stressing development of all possible complex phenomena through building on simple patterns

 

Here is a rough index to the guitar theory book I am putting together:

The Obsessive Method for Too Many Guitar Scales, Chords, Arpeggios, and Chord Progressions

 

The All the Scales/All the Chords part of the site has become the tail that wags the dog.

List of all possible scales

List of all possible chords

Other features added or improved since the original

Original guitar tabs and arrangements

Below is the original site, which I am in th process of reworking.
I know a lot more about theory now, particularly Jazz theory, so expect some additions and corrections.
