This is the best ( and most used )referance book I have. The large diagrams make learning scales very easy, and with this many scales you need it to be easy. Everything from simple pentatonic to the obscure is covered. Nice job!

This is "the scale book"! It's the most complete scale book I have ever seen. This book really does cover the world of scales. The author has obviously done tons of research and makes the information easy to understand. There are some pretty wild scales in this book that you really should spend some time with. I found the Indonesian pentatonic scales to be really cool. And what is really sweet about it, is that I can now see how to use these scales in my own music.

The explanation of the modes is great. I finally understand how the modes work! I have read alot of other scale books but this one gives the best explantion of the modes. I can now apply modalization to any scale I want.

I found the book to be very user-friendly. The layout is great. The scale fingerings are easy to read. Another real cool thing about this book is its coverage of chord theory. I now know how to determine the chords that will work with any scale.

Bought for a gift for a friend of mine. It is just what he wanted.

Have you ever wondered how it would be like to be living a life like a famous baseball player? The title of this book is Yogi: It Ain't Over by Yogi Berra and Tom Horton. This book is about Yogi Berra's life and what happened during his baseball career.

The main character is Yogi Berra. This book mainly takes place in New York. It takes place in New York because that is where Yogi spent most of his time as a baseball player.

Yogi: It Ain't Over is about one of the greatest baseball players in Major Legue Baseball. Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra was a catcher from the New York Yankees and he was a good catcher. Being a good catcher didn't allow him to be a good baseball player, he also could hit. He also was elected American League (AL) MVP three times, in 1951, 1954, and 1955. He was elected into the Hall of Fame in 1972. After he was dismissed by the Yankees he became the manager of the Yankees, then the Mets, and back to the Yankees. Before all of that happened he joined the navy and fought in World War II. The whole title of the book is Yogi: It Ain't Over Till It's Over. Yogi has a wife named Carmen and three sons: Dale, Larry, and Timmy.

This book is a good book. This book inspired me to play my best in baseball because Yogi Berra played in the MLB and was an 8th grade dropout. I'm not saying I want to be a high school dropout and try for the majors. I'm saying that I want to try to make it into the AAA division in the minor leagues or even better the major league and I only started to play baseball in 6th grade. I would recommend this book to people that would like to know about old baseball players and to people that like sports and auto-biographies.

This book is a little different. It is not filled with Yogi quotes like in the book "I Never said half the things I said" but it does have his typical humor. It is a great book for a Yankee fan like me who followed and watched the great Yankee teams of the 50s and 60s that Yogi played on. The theme of the book is that too many modern players are selfish and that no matter how great an individual player might be it takes team work and unselfishness by the whole team to make a champion. Yogi describes this in players like Mantle, Ford, Reynolds and DiMaggio from his era but he also sees it in guys like Paul O'Neill and Scott Brosius from the 1998 Yankees, perhaps the best baseball team ever! I wasn't expecting it but Yogi also saw it in the 2004 Red Sox and pointed to an unselfish act by Tim Wakefield that he thought was the key to their comeback against the Yankees. It was not something that many fans or broadcasters would have noticed but Terry Francona and his Red Sox teammates did.

We need to have every young ballplayer read, and hopefully understand the message that Yogi is passing on based on his years of experience! Team work is as important now as it was back "in the day" and the young individuals of today need to understand that.

It is a great book, well worth the time to read.

I used this book to help with my daughter's overall soccer skills and general knowledge base. It was written concisely and logically and was easy to follow. I highly recommend it.

The book deals with all the main technical and positional parameters whilst not neglecting attitude to the game in general. The language is clear and concise and leaves no room for confusion. In essence, the language of a good coach.
One can study the contents in total for an overview of all that is necessary to play the game well whilst appreciating those that execute the focused skills at the highest level. Moreover, it is a gem of a reference for those players and coaches who wish to quickly jump into a specific coaching topic to refresh a weak area of their game or coaching programme.
This is an ideal tool for players and coaches in junior squads.
I enjoyed the read and my only regret is that such a book was not available in my formative years in soccer.
