Scales Modes and Melodic Patterns Level Two-Guitar virtuoso Rusty Cooley who is at the fore front of pushing the boundaries of modern guitar playing challenges you to expand on the fretboard visualization and modal knowledge learned in Level 1. Rusty unlocks the road map that will give you the freedom to improvise over the entire fretboard without being locked into positions. Learn 4 5 and 6 string root modes extended patterns spanning the neck 3 octave modes reverse linear patterns and modal sequences. Rusty shows you how to create modal chord progressions for each of the 7 modes that you can shred your own leads over. Develop your own style while applying what you learn over the full band backing tracks!

Par TWISS TIM. Five-string banjo enthusiasts who play in the stroke, clawhammer or guitar styles will enjoy these 50 melodic, tab-only arrangements. The collection is unique in that it includes reels, polkas, jigs, hornpipes, minstrel songs, ballads, light classics, and a Christmas tune?nearly all in C tuning with the fourth string a step lower than the typical 5-string G tuning. Well-known classical and popular composers: Beethoven, Foster, and Vivaldi, plus collector/historian-authors: Converse, Emmett, Howe, Kerr, O?Neill, and Ryan?are all represented in this book.With the exception of two Twiss originals, the music was chosen from sources available circa 1840 ? 1890. Some of these settings can be used as accompaniment to unison singing; all are designed to lie well on the 5-string fretboard for optimal playability. Using a custom-built fretted, nylon-string banjo, the author has provided online recordings of every tune for ease of learning. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Recueil / Banjo

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.

Description 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, and pull-offs for speed and fluidity.

Complete whole-neck control is developed through an extensive series of repeating melodic exercises and etudes.

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 presents 10 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 fully explored; 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 any single 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.
