Chops Builder For Guitar

(Guitar Educational). This book/CD pack makes learning technique fun and musical for guitarists teaching them real licks to help build their chops! Topics covered include: alternate picking, economy picking, sweep picking, fingerstyle, chicken pickin', classical, legato, tapping and more. Each technique is isolated, then applied to a range of musical styles: rock, jazz/fusion, blues, country, folk, metal and more. Also includes advice on warming up and practicing, a scale and arpeggio index, and a CD with 74 demo tracks.

In this comprehensive book jazz guitarist Michael Anthony addresses the need to build flexibility and technical proficiency in a way consistent with the melodicmotifs of contemporary music. Though the warm-ups are numbered, there is no order that must be followed. The guitarist may approach them according to his orher interest and inspiration. They include: arpeggios, scale patterns, melodic minor forms, chord-melody groups, stretching and contrary motion, double-stops, octavedisplacement, walking bass with comping, two line phrases, 'out of the box'geometric shapes, overlapping rhythms, long arpeggios and diminished scale patterns. The finish line exemplifies arpeggios outlining I-VI-II-V7 progressions in major and minor. In the words of Michael Anthony, I find that isolation of the rightand left hand is useful, but ultimately it is the timing and coordination of the two that is necessary. The benefits of these warm-ups are threefold: 1. Technical improvement. 2. Fingerboard knowledge. 3. Ear training. Written in notation andtablature
