Top Exercises For Scales/Triads

 

I eventually got all of the books in Billy Bauer's Guitar Instructor series plus a couple of books with solos (after two subsequent orders) and I'm quite please with these although I'm not had time to work through them at all yet.

I also got the second volume of Basic Guitar Studies mentioned long ago in this thread. ?It doesn't correspond to any of the books available in the Billy Bauer online store - it's a completely different book. ?(Apparently books typically go out of copyright 70 years after the author's death, depending on the country, so there's a while to wait for it to be legal to share online although you might be able to argue "fair use" if they are out of print. ?Good luck arguing that with the Don Andrews books mentioned in the other thread since those books' publisher, Albert, apparently switched entirely to managing music ownership rights rather than actually publishing books.) ?However, it's probably not worth bothering to get hold of based on what's in the second volume - it looks like fairly standard material (like arpeggios, etc) that you can get from other books that are still in print (and the Guitar Instructor series books are a lot more interesting),

Billy Bauer's books have now been reprinted and are available for sale online:

I had another look at the books and I think all of the second volume of Basic Guitar Studies book may be contained in the Triads book from Billy Bauer's Guitar Instructor series (interspersed with many other exercises, etudes, etc that I find more interesting - and also with there being a lot more new content than the stuff from the old book),
