Media : Book/CD Set Author : by Dick Weissman and edited by Dan Fox Level : Beginning-Intermediate Date published : 8/25/2009 Style : Acoustic Music Type : Improvisation Description : The non-jazz improvisation series is a concept that germinated in Dick Weissman's mind while he was attending music school. He wrote a 15-piece arrangement of the old square dance tune, Cripple Creek, and wanted the trombone to take a solo as part of the arrangement. When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was totally unsuitable for the chart, Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there are even jazz musicians who don't know how to improvise outside the limits of their own stylistic backgrounds. Fingerstyle and flatpicking techniques demonstrate the use of the guitar as an incredibly versatile instrument that holds its own in a variety of musical genres. Various guitar tunings are included. All examples are written out in traditional and tablature notation.

Every imaginable technique and pattern right at your fingertips. Whether you're new to fingerstyle or an experienced player wanting to enhance your skills and knowledge, this comprehensive course won't leave any gaps in your training and even includes techniques for creating your own fingerstyle arrangements. All three 96-page books include TAB as well as standard notation for every example.
