Or maybe you're stuck in a rut; every time you pick up the guitar you play the same old things...

 Need a jumpstart to get rolling again?...  

How about a better understanding of the guitar, for starts.

 You will apply what you already know, and rapidly expand your view of the guitar.

In no time at all, you'll be...

 ...playing the dynamic, inspired that makes people stop and listen...

...improvising over chord changes by ear, finding the right notes, creating tension and release at will...

...improving your tone by starting at the source - your knowledge and skill.

I call this:

“Master the Fretboard: The 10 best kept secrets of professional guitar players”

This is not some cheesy memory trick (45 MINUTES TO TOTAL MASTERY!!! B.S.) or bunch of freeware downloads - there are a few items like that out there, but the feedback on this item will show you that beginners and advanced players alike are finding plenty of great material in here!

And I hear it all the time: "There are no guitar secrets! What are you claiming?" -

Hey, unless you know all these methods and techniques - it's still a secret to you. I've been giving private lessons, working in recording studios, playing concerts and recently started writing for "Guitar" Magazine in Europe. You will learn in this well written book, without gimmicky methods and memory tricks:

• How the pros build their solos (with examples from Hendrix, Dire Straits , The Eagles, Metallica, Chuck Berry and more )

• How scales relate to chord shapes so the you can play any scale or arpeggio at will.

• How to create strong rhythm guitar parts in the style of Jimi Hendrix , Keith Richards , and Stevie Ray Vaughan

• How to build the left hand strength and bending accuracy of Eric Clapton , Jimi Hendrix , B.B. King ,  Stevie Ray Vaughan and other blues masters.

• How to build incredible picking speed and accuracy in the style of Joe Satriani , Stevie Ray Vaughan , Mark Knopfler , Steve Vai , Eric Johnson and others

• How to tune and set up your guitar for proper intonation 
   
• How to find any note, anywhere on the fretboard, and really know it. No tricks or gimmicks.
   
• How to immediately locate any chord anywhere on the fretboard

• How to perform basic adjustments to your guitar to remove fret buzz, correct intonation and lower or raise the action of the guitar. This alone will save you many times the cost of this eBook!

• A BIG section on how to get great tone on a budget. What are the best guitars, effects, and amplifiers for you hard-earned dollar? Which ones should be avoided? (and there are some major manufacturers producing disappointing gear! Check it out before you buy!)

• THREE new chapters including 10 Telecaster Licks (rockabilly/swing/country) loads of shred guitar licks (Satriani/Vai/Friedman et al.) style, and some serious blues lines. Most importantly - explainations of how the licks are put together so YOU CAN CREATE MORE!

Examples are explained with tablature, photos and diagrams to be sure that the concepts are clear and easy to remember. The material is well written and easy to read, and I must reiterate: This is a professional method, not one of these other goofy things selling on Google, etc. for $30+. It is also not a simple collection of scale charts, which are flooding ebay at the moment.

Now over 200 pages - equivalent to dozens of hours of private lessons, with free updates to all customers, regardless of future price increases!

(I am a writer, guitarist and music teacher, 32 years old and working at music every day of my life. Sorry if this auction isn't as slick as the others, I'm a musician - not a web designer!)

 THE BEST PART IS: I will deliver you these lessons quickly and for far less than the cost of one guitar lesson. 

With the login info to our site that you receive - unlike a printed book - it will be updated and delivered to you again and again - more lessons, more tips, more methods and techniques!

So, check out my feedback and you’ll see that I know what I’m doing here...

Then invest less than HALF the cost of one private lesson - and get going!

I figured I'd check out ebay just to see what all was available to help my self--taught guitar playing 'blindness' I've seemed to develop in the 3 years I've been playing. Your ebook really got my attention and I'll be damned if it wasn't the perfect thing for me to come across. It's only been a couple days, but what I've picked up so far about seeing the chords inside scales has brought out a wonderous, colorful ability in myself. I jammed with my brother on the drums and we were both suprised at the improvisations coming through my amp (full chord, riff, partial, bass riff, chord, riff). I'm finally being able to play what I have in my head musically for everyone to hear!

I knew how to play Jimi's 'The Wind Crys Mary' but had hardly any understanding of what was being played. You got me tuned into Jimi's mind in about 2 minutes. Great, man. You've done a tremendous job with this book.

Peace to you,
Zach

Joe - This is really great stuff, written with humor and ease. This is a pleasure to read after 25 years of playing self taught and playing what I thought was pretty well... But now I see some much more interesting stuff on my horizon. Again, thanks for the ebook. May be the best 10 bucks I spent…besides on the PRS D.Rogers

All good Joe, thanks book is really fantastic. Got the charlie C CD as well. I use your method when approaching every song now. Its funny how the book made something just click, for me anyways.Thank you Ken

Oh Thanks Joe, thats great ... have started going through the book and think its a great learning method.Has freed me up in a number of ways, i still use some scale runs but your book has completed my 'inside the music' knowledge that was weaker. Am now moving from chord to chord with the essential tones whilst producing the melody i want and keeping up with it all. Cheers, Ken

I just downloaded the book.  I learned something on the first 2 pages.
Looks like its going to be great for me.
Thanks - Jack

Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!
