Book 2-Fluid Pentatonics for Guitar: 84 Melodic Studies for Rock Guitar is a comprehensive manual for developing blistering pentatonic motion that moves freely over the entire fretboard using position-shifting slides hammer-ons andpull-offs for speed and fluidity. Emphasis is on overcoming the restrictive nature of traditional pentatonic 'box' scale fingerings by developing pathways that continually shift between and connect the five pentatonic 'boxes'.Complete whole-neck control is developed through an extensive series of repeating melodic exercises and etudes. Section One presents 35 sequential whole-neck studies each of which spans the range of twelve frets thus unlockingvirtually every possible position shift. Section Two develops complete non-shifting control through a series of 15 interesting and useful sequential patterns applied to each of the five pentatonic 'boxes'. Section Three presents10 whole-neck/position-shifting studies that are non-sequential in design in order to develop unpredictable melodic flow. Then in Sections Four and Five two vital extensions/variations of the pentatonic scale are fullyexplored; the Hexatonic and Dominant Pentatonic scales. The result is a complete matrix of pentatonic moves and connections that allow the guitarist to float freely across the entire fretboard without being locked into anysingle particular pentatonic 'box'. The resulting sound is definitely NOT bluesy (very little string bending) but closer to a modern jazz-rock fusion style; fluid and unpredictable. Great for all guitarists in rock jazz fusion blues country and pop styles who want to unlock complete whole-neck freedom and develop a fast modern pentatonic sound. CD included. Presented in standard notation and tablature.

Rob Goorhuis wrote his Variations on a Pentatonic Theme (1987) for the Royal Wind band of Thorn conductor Jan Cober. The work consists of five character variations on a pentatonic (five-tone) theme. The basic elements of the theme are the descending minor third and the descending major second which in the course of the composition build up to a broad melody unfolding itself in the final variation. The first variation resembles minimal music in its repetitive rhythmic motives. The second variation is explosive in character: rapid broken chords provide a background for soft solo motifs. The third variation is a quiet intermezzo on a slow chorale theme creatingtwo contrasting moods. The fourth variation is a light-hearted scherzo. The final variation is a brilliant finale with all the necessary ingredients or in the composer's words 'the works' Testpiece WMC 2005 Concert Division.
