Rock and country bands employ three or more players, typically at least four: a drummer, a bass player, a rhythm player, and a lead player. Rhythm players most often play the chord progression of the song, while lead players play notes over those chords using scales that lie within the key of the song. (A complete guitar player should learn to play both rhythm and lead.) This book takes the guitar player beyond the chords of the rhythm player into the wild and wooly scales of the lead guitarist. It helps you work on combining both for the best of both worlds, taking you Far Beyond the Basics!
