Appendix I contains a collection of 110 licks in modern penta- hexa- hepta- and octatonic scales. Each lick is harmonized and comes with detailed guitar fingerings. Appendix II is a complete thesaurus of vertical and horizontal guitar fingerings for every modern penta- hexa- hepta- and octatonic scales in flamenco in every flamenco tonality. Each lick is recorded with harmonic accompaniment and bass.
