Hello Everyone,

I have just completed work on an upcoming Jones McGill DeCarlo disc as well as a new Freakzoid disc and some work on a future solo disc. More news as things develop.

The new Flavors Me Website has been moved to here so please check it out: http://scottmcgill.flavors.me/

Also, the latest book "Synthetic and Exotic Scales Jazz Improvisation Etudes for Treble Clef Instruments" has been out and so far the feedback has been positive. Our thanks for those who have picked it up and any feedback is welcome. Here is the description on Amazon.Com:

""A unique collection of etudes that demonstrate the use of melodic lines derived from synthetic and exotic scales over jazz standards type chord progressions. A variety of scales such as the Enigmatic, Phrygian#11, Hungarian Major, and Dorian b9 are illustrated as well as Altered Pentatonic and Multi-Octave scales. For the creative improviser and composer looking to expand his or her musical vocabulary. Not a theoretical treatise but a challenging practical text demonstrating lines developed from advanced scales and their use in relation to jazz harmonic progressions. Excellent for Guitarists, Pianists, Violinists, and Horn Players."

Best and more updates to come.

Hello Everyone,

I have a new book out titled "Twelve-Tone Octave Displacement Studies for The Guitar and All Treble Clef Instruments". The description on Amazon is as follows:

"A unique and challenging collection of octave displacement etudes based on the twelve-tone sets of composers such as Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Babbitt, Carter, Stockhausen, and others. Great for the development of virtuoso technique, aural skills, and the extension of compositional/improvisational vocabulary for Guitarists and other Treble Clef instrumentalists. There is also a short section on the octave displacement of more common scales such as Pentatonic, Whole-Tone, and Diminished Scales as well as a brief Double Stops section using twelve-tone sets. A practical text for advanced technical and aural skills development with twelve-tone material, not a theory or analysis treatise. A great addition to any Jazz, Classical, Fusion, or Progressive Rock Musician's practice regimen."

Please follow this link to purchase: http://www.amazon.com/Twelve-Tone-Octave-Displacement-Studies-Instruments/dp/1492156256/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1377291966&sr=8-11&keywords=scott+mcgill

If you like the text please post a positive review on Amazon. I thank you in advance and please write if you have any questions.

Best,

Scott McGill
