What a great addition. I’ve heard John speak many times on the melodic minor scale which were excellent.
Now his book provides very practical, simple and clearly shown scales, arpeggios chords, and exercises to take it to the next level.
You can also take it at whatever learning depth and pace you want. For me it has me practicing a lot of this at least an hour or two a day now
