Is your rock/metal guitar playing crying out for some fresh ideas? 
If you’re ready to discover some spicy scales that will launch your guitar soloing into the stratosphere, rock god Chris Zoupa is here to mastermind your success. 
Exotic Scales for Rock Guitar Soloing is your complete pathway to next-level soloing, and it’s jam-packed with crazy licks and quirky ideas. 
If you’re comfortable with pentatonics and au fait with modes, this patented Zoupa guidebook will quickly make your guitar solos scream with a new exotic dimension. 
Learn Exotic Scales Musically to Elevate your Guitar Solos 
Exotic scales are often treated like mysterious side-dishes instead of a tasty main course. But here, you’ll quickly develop a taste for the power of exotic scales by making simple changes to ideas you already know… staring with the pentatlodic scale… 
Here’s a breakdown: 
The Pentalodic Scale – yep, you read that right. What happens when you make one simple change to the minor pentatonic scale? You create a super-familiar pattern to slay solos in harmonic and melodic minor settings 
Symmetrical Arpeggios – You’ve probably rolled out a diminished arpeggio, perhaps even an augmented one, but there are so many new places you can use these ideas… you’ll learn the how, why and the where of using symmetrical arpeggios to create incredible solos 
Harmonic Minor – integral to the golden age of metal, the harmonic minor provides all the sinister you need. And it’s still alive and well from Opeth to Eilish. Once again, a simple tweak to something you already know allows you to quickly access this iconic texture 
Phrygian Dominant – From the Scorpions' Sails of Charon to Laid to Rest by Lamb of God, the Phrygian Dominant scale is a life-changer that’s used to create exotic motifs and spicy riffs. It’s essential for metal, neo-classical and most virtuosic rock guitar music 
Melodic Minor – Listen to artists like Periphery, Cynic, Mike Stern, Steve Vai and Allan Holdsworth and you’ll quickly discover a sound you’ve been missing in heavy rock and metal. It’s dark, mysterious and the ultimate sonic secret weapon 
Hungarian Minor – Known for its connection to Django Reinhardt and Gypsy Jazz, this scale has been beautifully integrated into rock and metal by many metal gurus and sounds incredible. Once again, a small tweak to something you already know allows quick access to these tones, and you’ll get all the secrets. 
Exotic Scales / Real World Applications 
In these hallowed pages, the focus is always on creating great music, so you’ll learn how to turn scales into compelling solos from the first moment. 
While Exotic Scales for Rock Guitar Soloing teaches you 130 death-defying stunt-guitar licks, it actually shows you how to write your own lines to build your own unique musical identity. Boring theory is kept to an absolute minimum so that the focus is on playing in real world situations. 
Superlative Shredding to Make Your Solos Sing
