CHITARRA - GUITAR

FLUID SOLOING BOOK 1, ARPEGGIOS FOR LEAD ROCK GUITAR. Tim Quinn. CD TAB.

Product Description:
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) using hammer-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 extensive collection 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 connections are 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 to solo 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 your hand 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 is perhaps the most practical and powerful arpeggio book ever written. CD included. Standard notation and Tablature.

GET TO KNOW YOUR ACOUSTIC GUITAR, Marty Lanham. 120 minuti. DVD

Product Description:
Noted guitar builder and repair specialist Marty Lanham of The Nashville Guitar Company gives an inside look at the flattop, steel string guitar. Learn how the guitar creates its sound, and what each component contributes to the tone - plus what you need to know about common repair and maintenance of your guitar.

Get to Know Your Acoustic Guitar

Millions of people own acoustic guitars, but not many know much about how they generate tone, how they are built and maintained, or how they can be adjusted to improve tone, responsiveness or playability. Many guitarists have questions about proper care - or whether and when their instrument needs a visit to the repair shop - but don't have access to skilled luthiers to ask such questions.

Marty Lanham is Nashville's "go to guy" when delicate repair or restoration is needed on fine acoustic guitars. Prominent guitarists in country and bluegrass music rely on Marly for regular maintenance, and many use his handmade guitars on stage and in the studio. On this DVD, Marly shares his many years of experience as a luthier to help you get to know, and understand the acoustic guitar.

Marly provides an overview of the many component parts of the steel string guitar, describing what each contributes to the overall sound. You'll get to see the body of a guitar before it is assembled, and a number of disassembled guitars in the shop for repair. He then describes some of the most common guitar maintenance and repair issues, and how you can both spot and prevent them.

Symptoms of fret wear, loose braces, bridge plate wear, bride pulling up, and neck twist and warpage are among the topics covered in detail, with many close ups. He goes over neck relief, temperature and humidity, tuning machines, intonation, finish issues and when a guitar's neck may need to be reset. Causes (and fixes) for high or low action are also discussed and demonstrated.

The final section has Marly explaining what to look for when buying a guitar. He first covers what a novice player - or someone choosing a guitar for a beginner – should consider. Then, he describes the important considerations when moving up to a better quality instrument, and what to be aware of when shopping for used, or vintage guitars.
