    Hi  

    there!  
    Welcome  to  the  “Ultimate  Jazz  Scales”  Book!  I’m  thrilled  to  share  this  guide  with  
    you.  
     
    My  name  is  Steve  Nixon.  I’m  the  owner  of  the  largest  jazz  piano  education  
    website  in  the  world,  ​Freejazzlessons.com​.    
     
    I  created  this  guide  as  a  handy  reference  for  jazz  students  who  are  exploring  the  
    wonderful  world  of  jazz  piano.  If  you  want  to  learn  about  the  most  common  jazz  
    scales  this  is  definitely  the  book  for  you!    
     
    Not  only  are  there  tons  of  scales  in  this  book  but  I’ve  also  listed  fundamental  
    chords  that  you  can  use  over  each  scale.  This  will  help  you  learn  big  time!  
     
    It’s  a  great  idea  to  start  thinking  about  scales  in  terms  of  what  chords/harmonies  
    you  can  use  them  over.  This  book  will  help  you  do  that  and  much  more!    
     
    For  your  convenience,  every  scale  is  listed  in  all  12  keys.  This  will  make  it  easier  
    for  you  to  figure  out  the  notes  for  various  chords  you’ll  encounter  in  songs  going  
    forward.    
     
    I  wish  you  lots  of  success  with  this  book.  Keep  it  close  by.  Use  it.  Learn  from  it  
    and  most  importantly  enjoy  your  learning  and  have  fun!  
     
    Jazz  is  an  amazing  artform.  It’s  changed  my  life  and  I  look  forward  to  hearing  
    more  about  your  journey  through  this  awesome  style  of  music.  
     
    Thanks  for  your  purchase!  I  look  forward  to  hearing  about  your  success.  See  you  
    soon!  
     
    Sincerely,  
    Steve  Nixon

    Resources  
    I  thought  it  would  be  helpful  to  include  an  extra  page  full  of  resources  (products,  fake  books,  
    recordings,  etc.)  that  you  can  refer  to  for  your  jazz  education  needs.  
     
    These  are  products  that  I  personally  use  on  a  regular  basis.​  I  recommend  keeping  this  page  
    handy  for  your  reference  and  ease  of  learning.
