Scarpology: a Mapping of the Fretboard and an Introductory Method for Improvisation on Mandolin or Other Instruments Tuned in Perfect Fifths

This method called Scarpology starts simply with a set of two-finger patterns. These are connected to each other harmonically and provide a skeletal framework that covers the entire fretboard. Moving through this book and gaining familiarity with this framework, the player learns a system that opens up the entire fretboard, enabling the player to easily shift to any key, to improvise, to accompany, to sit in and fit in with any musical genre.
