I am sorry to hear of Arnie's passing. My copy of Patterns, Scales And Modes For Jazz Guitar is well-worn and sometimes still a reference, though today, mainly to find a musical exercise to run through. The book was invaluable to me and a primary source of scale and line studies. Not a comprehensive jazz guitar method (but what is?)he gave us five major scale shapes, the nearest ii-V-I chords overlaying the scales, neighbor tone studies, digital patterns in each scale some minor scale material, and even examples using chords from standards. A great book. Thanks, Arnie, R.I.P.
