Opis

A -must have- book for every serious guitarist. One of the most comprehensive works ever undertaken to teach the two octave fingerings of the modes and arpeggios nested within the MAJOR, HARMONIC MINOR, and MELODIC MINOR scales, in addition to full fretboard navigation of the SYMMETRIC and PENTATONIC scales. These fingering patterns provide a comprehensive roadmap of the fret board which will give the guitarist unlimited options for improvisation and guitar arranging. Used alongside the building of repertoire, transcription and composition of solos, and improvisation studies, this material in this book will give the guitarist the ability to see the fretboard as a endless array of possibilities for musical expression. Do you want to prepare for studying guitar in a university? Are you currently studying guitar in a university? Do you wish you had been able to study guitar in a university? If so, this book is for you. If you have ever been stuck in a rut and in need of a road map for mastering the guitar, this book is for you. If you are one of those unique individuals with a relentless drive to learn and master every nook and cranny of the fretboard, this book is for you. THE FRETBOARD: Vol 1 - Scales, Modes, and Arpeggios will provide you a lifetime of learning and efficient development for your hands, mind, and ears. This work presents the material in a systematic approach which results in mastering the fretboard in an efficient and effective manner. Beginning with 12 fingerings for the major scale, the book takes you down a path in which you will learn how to play two octaves of ANY scale, mode, or arpeggio in ANY key at ANY position on the neck. The book then teaches how to blend this knowledge into one comprehensive map of the fretboard with the ultimate goal of -forgetting- scale and arpeggio fingerings and instead experiencing total freedom to play the guitar to its full potential. Digging this well of fretboard knowledge will release a new level of creativity in the guitarist's soloing, arranging, and technique. The material is presented both in standard notation with in-depth spelling of scales, modes, and arpeggios, as well as in large block diagrams showing fingering patterns with which to use this material to cover the entire neck in any key. Whether you play jazz, rock, funk R&B, country, western swing, bluegrass, blues, or classical, mastering the material in this book will go far in making you a master guitarist. A companion video lesson for this book will be available in 2017.
