PERFECT INTONATION in 60 Minutes is NOT a typical SCALES and ARPEGGIO book!
This is a way of PRACTICING Scales and Arpeggios that takes 60 Minutes a day, or less, to PERFECT INTONATION! Perfect Intonation can be achieved by String Players who may or may not have Perfect Pitch or Perfect Relative Pitch. By practicing each note of a Scale or Arpeggio with the closest Open String and the closest Perfect Interval (Perfect 4ths, 5ths, Octaves, Unisons), one can achieve PERFECT INTONATION by correcting each "double-stop" until there is NO waver or "beat" between the Open String and the Fingered Note. PERFECT INTONATION occurs when the 2 notes are in perfect balance with each other and sound "pure" and "open" to the ear.
