Description
This eBook is aimed at the intermediate to advanced guitarist (or a very courageous beginner!) who wants to expand their knowledge of the Fretboard, develop their song writing/arrangement skills, learn about different genres, styles, techniques, sharpen up their music theory, progress their improvisation and pick up some new chops along the way. If that sounds up your street, then please read on!
Oh yeah, there are also 189 free audio examples to help you out. These include the full song, backing tracks, backing without the featured guitar part, each lick played to a click track and a few little extras just for good measure.
The content focuses on the Major Scale, Chord shape and Arpeggio showing how they can all be combined into neat little one octave patterns. This is then taken a step further with examples of how to use these shapes in a musical context. This is done by having 10 backing tracks-
Reggae, Country, Blues, Ambient, World Music, Rock ‘N Roll, Indie, Progressive Rock, Power Metal and Retro Video Game- each with stylistically suited licks, riffs and ideas.
Instead of focusing solely on the lead and glossing over why certain notes or shapes work so well and others don’t, there’s a strong focus on showing how the rhythm often dictates what the lead should be doing. On top of this there’s an abundance of techniques spattered throughout including: Palm Muting, Harmonics, Alternate Picking, Sweep Picking, Hybrid Picking, Tapping, Whammy Bar Bends, Creative Use Of Effects, Legato, Compound Bends, Slide Playing and Pot Control.
On top of this there’s a theory Section where any term I’ve used is explained. After this there’s another Section explaining the techniques I’ve mentioned, coupled with examples of guitarists to checkout. The idea behind this is to explain any topic without disrupting the overall flow. I recently graduated with a Frist Class from a BA(Hons) in Professional Musicianship and in many ways this book is a condensed version of the key ideas I learned along the way.
MiniShapes: Major has also been specifically designed and formatted for the standard Kindle, to optimise your learning experience.
