Complete Technique for Modern Guitar
This book destroys the notion that aspiring players must spend all their practice time
accelerating through progressively more difficult and obscure exercises. This book focuses on only
the exercises that most quickly develop the fundamental four areas of guitar technique: Picking,
Legato, Playing in time, and expression.
It contains over 200 essential, digestible, exercises to help you master the guitar with
comprehensive coverage of picking, legato, rhythm and expressive techniques.
The Practical Guide to Modern Music Theory for Guitarists
This is a complete and practical music theory course for guitarists takes you on a journey
starting from simple major scale construction, its 3 and 4 note harmonisations, and common chord
sequences, to a massively deep and structured dissection of all the modes of the major
scale.
The seven modes are broken down into their constituent intervals, triads, arpeggios and
Pentatonic scales, with each theoretical approach discussed and analysed and bought to life with
over 200 notated examples, licks and professional backing tracks.
After the many soloing possibilities are discussed for each mode, the author’s favourite
sounds are given as a concise list of recommended approaches. This will save you many hours of
practice time, and provide solid starting point to explore the best of each tonality.
Guitar Scales in Context
This book goes further than any other scale dictionary available: it provides you
with backing tracks and licks for every one of the essential eighteen scales and modes that it
covers.
With over fifty backing tracks included, each scale is analysed, discussed and shown in the
five most commonly used patterns. Each scale shape is given with a corresponding chord, triad and
arpeggio pattern to help you build and memorise the scale, both physically and
aurally.
