All possible scales of three to eleven notes within the chromatic scale
with revised text and CD content
by Pete White
Example scale
The book contains 344 scales, each given in all keys that make sense. For example, common scales are given in 12 keys, but the whole tone scale is given in two keys because there are effectively only two different whole tone scales.
Example sheet music
The book comes with 48 audio tracks (see below) and contains notes describing each track and what it illustrates.
