Description
Easily Master Melodic Phrasing in Your Guitar Solos
‘He’s just feeling it’ is no longer an acceptable explanation of musical ability. This book breaks down melodic feel and phrasing into learnable skills.
The most detailed, structured method to develop your own unique voice on the guitar
Whether as part of the Complete Guide to Playing Blues Guitar Series, or as a stand-alone work, Melodic Phrasing takes you on a journey through every aspect of musical phrasing.
We all have the same 12 notes….
It’s how and when we play them that sets the masters apart from the amateurs. We all know it’s important to learn the licks and vocabulary of the musicians who we wish to emulate, but in order to develop a unique voice we must learn how to phrase our lines in a personal way. Melodic Phrasing teaches you hundreds of ways to treat even simple lines to make the music your own.
Learn to control rhythm and phrasing, and open your mind to infinite new musical possibilities
Melodic Phrasing challenges our perception of what blues soloing is. No longer will you be ‘chasing licks’ around the fretboard; struggling because you couldn’t quite execute or remember the line you were reaching for.
In this book you will learn how to develop and control fundamental rhythmic fragments to create and drive your solo forward. By focusing on rhythm and phrasing, and by learning to combine and develop these rhythmic building blocks, the melodies will take care of themselves.
This is a natural, organic approach to developing your guitar soloing where you learn to truly improvise and break away from the prison of ‘lick playing’ or just ‘exploring’ the minor pentatonic scale.
The Complete Guide to Playing Blues Guitar: Melodic Phrasing Contains:
- Over 160 examples with free audio to download
- Standard Notation and Tab
- The most in-depth lessons on rhythm and phrasing available
Check out the reviews below:
“If you are looking to go deeper than surface level with the blues and start gaining some understanding of what goes on within the melodic inter-weavings this is for you! I love Joseph Alexander’s books… he is a great resource for anyone interested in the guitar.”
“Among the things I like most about these books is that they’re laid out not like lessons, but more like practice routines. The emphasis is on getting the ideas into your fingers and ears, not just your head. A very refreshing approach. I look forward to the next one.”
“The Call & Response practice in this and his other books have helped my playing tremendously”
Melodic Phrasing will change the way you approach the guitar
After working through this book you will never ‘run out of licks’ again; you will be able to create interesting, emotive, musical phrases whenever you want, and keep the audience coming back for more.
