FRETBOARD MASTERY MADE SIMPLE

The Must Know Info is Right Here

Serious Studies for Finding Your Way Around the Fretboard

Learn the Order of Notes that can easily be applied to any string instrument

Learn to locate any note at will (this is far easier than you may think)

Learn Single String Diatonic Scale Sequences that makes moving across the fretboard a breeze.

Learn to connect Diatonic Sequences across the neck to build long fluid runs.

 

A few words about Mastering the Fretboard:

I've seen plenty of ads for Books/Dvds etc. claiming they wil have you mastering the fretboard in less than 24 hours,

some even in as little as 45 mins. Sorry, this is a flat out lie. Don't fall for it.

Don't waste your time or your money. These aren't methods, they are scams.

Mastering the fretboard is not as difficult as it may seem, if you know a few basic things, but It does take some work  

If you work on the lessons in the book, you will master the fretboard and you will continue mastering it for the rest of your life.

The more you know, the more you find there is to learn.

The first baby steps in all this is simply understanding how your guitar is laid out.

Understanding how the notes fall on the neck.

Understanding how Scales are built, and how they form patterns on the neck.

This is vital information if you really want to take your playing to a new level or become a solid player. 

 

MASTER ESSETINAL PICKING SKILLS

What Do Guys Like Steve Morse, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen, Al DiMeola Know That You Don’t.

Picking Secrets revealed.

Master the Art of Alternate Picking.

Learn the skills necessary to develop fluent inside and outside picking.

And seriously there are no real secrets, simply the ability to train your mind and hands to do a few basic things.

No matter if you want to play a few of your favorite tunes, or become a alternate picking shredding machine,

it all boils down to mastering a few right hand mechanics to get your picking on the right track.

Once you know the information and exercises, and exactly how to practice them,

you're well on your way to using it for your own personal purposes.

 

BUILD LIGHTING FAST HAMMER-ONS AND PULL-OFFS  

What Does Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Alan Holdsworth Have That You Don’t.

To develop a lighting fast hammer-ons and pull-offs your fingers must be up to the task.

Learn exactly what your fingers and mind need to work on and Exactly how to go about doing it.

Whether you want to shred blinding lines of notes or play the blues,

hammer-ons and pull-offs are essential to your development.

Once you understand how to develop the technique

you can build your own practice schedule around what you personally want to get from it.

 

Why is Correct Practice such a Secret.

Isn't any longer as I show show you exactly how to go about it

so you get the most from your practice time. 

Learn what real practice is.

Learn exactly how and what you need to focus on to realize your guitar dreams.

Learn how important the mind is in mastering the guitar.

Learn what roles our basic physiological and neurological systems play in your development.

Learn to maximize our efforts by focusing exactly upon what the mind and body need to develop.  

The real beauty here is the same basic practice principals apply to all instruments.

An it's been my experience that this is the kind of information your really only gonna get

from a serious Musical Program as few books or teachers discuss it.  

 

Without building serious practice skills your simply not getting as much bang for your practice buck.

Say you practice for 1 hour.

How much time did you really spend practicing.

Was it quality time. We're you 100% focused.

The sad truth is most struggling players or those stuck in a rut usually have their practicing skills to blame.

Now you may have spent 1 hour doing something with the guitar, but was it practice?

What if you were only operating with 20% or less efficiency.

And yes most students operate at less than 20% or less when they first come to see me.

Fixing this major flaw is the most imporant step in actually getting better.

We simply can't improve if we're not getting anything postive from our practice time.

Do yourself and your Musical Dreams a Favor: Learn How to Practice.

You'll find you can actually learn more and get more done in far less time than before :)

Learn lots of great licks, ranging in style from Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, to Michael Schenker, Gary Moore, Carlos Santana, to Paul Gilbert, Zakk Wylde, to S.R.

Diatonic Scale Patterns: Chart showing the Diatonic Minor Scale Across all 6 Strings as I personally believe the correct order for learning Scale Patterns should be to first Master Single String Scales and eventually incorporating more strings until we have our more traditional 6 note patterns. I believe theses patterns very valuable, but I also believe you do yourself a disservice by starting off with all 6 strings as opposed to single strings. I believe all 6 strings should be built up to.

If we apply theses simple alterations to the licks we can double or triple or (however many ways you do it) the number of licks.

 

We Should Also Practice all the A Pentatonic Minor Licks in the Other 12 Keys or in different octaves or create our own variations either by rhythmical displacement, or alternating the Phrasing or by elaborating on the lick. We should of course try stringing the licks together to form bigger licks. The Amount of Licks in this book is only limited by what your willing to do with them. We should also apply all concepts to licks we may already know or new licks we’ve learned.

 

Again the Amount of info in this book is only limited by what your willing do with it.

 

I’m not joking when I say there’s literally a Lifetime Worth of Study here if you want to utilize the info to it’s fullest.   

 

The Practice approaches and concepts are things we carry with us forever, it will make not only working through this material as easy and fast as possible, but any material, lick, song etc.

 

This book is not only a Great Tool in and of itself but it is also a great Supplementary tool for all your studies. Remember a Book/Lesson/Info etc. is next to worthless if you really don’t know How to Actually Go About Learning It. That to me is the most important thing of all about this book as I actually Teach You HOW to Practice.
