Par OKAZAKI MILES. This book is designed to be useful for guitarists at any skill level. Beginners can use it as an introduction to the foundational concepts of the instrument, intermediate players can use it for training and theoretical work, and advanced players can explore the sections on advanced theory, extended technique and the exhaustive tables of melodic and rhythmic possibilities. It is divided into two parts: pitch and rhythm. Part 1 (pitch) begins with the properties of string, harmonics, and tuning systems. It then moves methodically through pitch information, beginning with locating all versions of a single pitch, building pentatonic, heptatonic, and all possible symmetrical scales. This is followed by a study of intervals, with all possible locations of every two pitches, and a long study that moves through every possible fingering of three pitches, with a series of exercises to master triadic syntax. Part 1 closes with a study of four-pitch structures and complete tables that show all possible pitch sets in circular visual notation. Part 2 (rhythm) begins with a complete course in 'Symmetrical Picking, ' a method based on drum rudiments that builds control in the picking hand through an exhaustive variety of movements. The focus of this section is building a strong rhythmic foundation, with a focus on efficiency, accuracy, speed, dynamics, and groove. It is followed by a study of legato playing, working with ornaments and slides. The study of playing with fingers on multiple strings takes up the remainder of the book. This begins with the study of pulse against pulse, playing two simultaneous tempos. The book concludes with a study of polyrhythm, playing one rhythm against another. Plain English is used as much as possible to describe theoretical concepts, and hundreds of illustrations were made for the book as an aid to those who either don't speak English or prefer to think visually. This approach is designed to be inclusive and to promote creative practice. The main idea of the book is described in this passage (page 154): 'Even in this small area there is a lot of material, potentially a lifetime of study. The amount of information can feel overwhelming to students at any level. For this reason, the book is designed for self-directed practice, with an emphasis on what the player 'could' do, rather than what the player 'should' do. The principle is to develop your own learning process, rather than following someone else's. The ability to make choices is essential in finding a personal approach to the instrument. Pick and choose the studies that seem interesting - there should be enough variety to accommodate a wide range of personalities. If any particular concept or exercise has been useful as the starting point for a new creative direction, then the book has done its job. Its purpose is not to push any dogma, method, or style, but to open the door to options for guitarists of any background that are looking for new perspectives.

This collection of traditional music from Ireland and Scotland arranged for solo guitar is the result of a passionate study of the tradition by some of the finest musicians playing in this genre. Compiled by Stefan Grossman thisbook includes arrangements by Pierre Bensusan El McMeen Martin Simpson Pat Kirtley Duck Baker Tom Long & Steve Baughman. Looking back less than a century you would find this music performed on fiddle pipes button accordion flutes and whistles in solo and ensemble settings but never guitar even in its basic role of providing rhythm. The challenge for those who attempt to translate Celtic traditional music for fingerstyle guitar is to preserve theunique qualities which are the essence of the style. The popularity of alternate tunings in this music tends to come from two different directions. One is in the desire for production of tonalities of droninginstruments á la the bagpipes and tunings such as DADGAD and EADEAE make this effect relatively easy. On the other hand there are guitar tunings which lend themselves easily to the melodic steps and fullness found in thediatonic Celtic harp such as DGDGBD (open G tuning) and the CGDGAD.

String Skipping and Wide Interval Soloing For Guitar-String Skipping and Wide Interval Soloing: 212 Melodic Studies and Patterns for Guitar is a much-needed guitarist's guide to mastering wide interval soloing.This collection of repeating continuous motion studies shows theguitarist how to develop melodic patterns that are characterized by large intervallic jumps in pitch from one note to the next in constant succession. This book presents four unique approaches to developing wide intervalsoloing all of which utilize string skipping: 1) double pentatonic scales which are three-note-per-string pentatonic scale patterns; 2) octave sliding which uses sliding octave shapes in a variety of ways; 3) stacked fifths which are wide interval shapes derived from pentatonic scales; and 4) wide interval arpeggios derived from the diatonic major scale.The sound that results from these techniques is exciting and unpredictable because it issuch a departure from conventional melodic flow which tends to be scalar moving stepwise from one note in a scale to the next. By contrast wide interval soloing is angular and skewed with big skips and sudden directionalchanges creating a complex and fascinating sound. All of the studies in this book are designed as melodic etudes that can be applied directly to soloing in rock jazz fusion and blues music.This book is ideal for seriousguitarists in any style who want to break out of typical soloing patterns and create a more explosive radical sound! Includes access to online audio.
