Arpeggios-A modern arpeggio handbook and comprehensive training manual for developing fast flowing arpeggio runs that connect the entire fretboard. Emphasis is on developing fluid non-shifting arpeggio patterns (across the neck) usinghammer-ons and pull-offs for speed and fluidity; and also on developing smooth position-shifting arpeggios (along the length of the neck) using slides. These two types of motion are then connected and combined in an extensivecollection of soloing etudes for full assimilation. The result is a complete system of arpeggio pathways that connects every part of the fretboard and facilitates maximum speed fluidity and range. Complete whole-neck connectionsare presented for major 7th dominant 7th minor 7th minor 6th half-diminished diminished 7th major triadic and minor triadic arpeggios.This book is for all guitarists who are serious about improving their ability tosolo over chord progressions using arpeggios in any style of music; including rock jazz fusion blues country or pop. Having the ability to instantly outline any chord in a song with a fluid arpeggio run (no matter where yourhand is on the neck) is immensely valuable for every guitarist. This book methodically teaches you the skills that make this possible. Loaded with melodic arpeggio passages that can be applied to your music immediately this isperhaps the most practical and powerful arpeggio book ever written. Standard notation and tablature.

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.

For Concert Wind band and Pre-recorded-Alex Shapiro first brought electroacoustic music-- paired with using an everyday object as an instrument-- to middle school bands with her 2010 piece PAPER CUT. Now comes ROCK MUSIC possibly the very first geo-electroacoustic minimalist band piece largely devoid of melody and of rhythm. Conceptual and atmospheric the music features compelling textures from instruments voices and rocks that weave a wind band into a piece of sonic fabric stretched across linear time. As the notes slowlycrawl melt and scrape over a sonic landscape in random irregular ways were connected to the ancient glaciers which carved the world we know and which we strive to protect. Like PAPER CUT ROCK MUSIC can be equally appreciated by mature bandsand their audiences as well. To perform ROCK MUSIC youll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is providedin the printed piece. Dur: 4:15
