About this listen
What if you could become the guitarist absolutely EVERYBODY wants to jam with or be in a band with… this week still?
What if you could be the guitar player who attracts the interest of way better musicians who want to jam with you?
What kind of skills would you need to improve to become that center of attention? Or the life of the party?
What are the things you could improve in your practice approach that would double or triple your results and progress?
What is the one thing you should do to gain incredible speed and accuracy overnight?
What if I told you that you are probably under-practicing THE quintessential two most important skills that make the difference between a guitar player who blows his friends away in a jam versus the player who other musicians don’t particularly enjoy jamming with? Only practicing those two things, will make you unbelievably much better in no time. What could those two things possibly be?
These are just some of the questions that get answered in Guitar Essentials. The book has a look at what the most important skills are that every musician should train first and foremost, the essentials.
Not targeting those skills first is like putting the cart in front of the horse. You simply don’t get anywhere. But once you get those skills into shape, everything else automatically falls into place. It's like pouring rocket nitro jet fuel into your guitar playing: you explode your progress instantly without any extra practice or effort.
Guitar Essentials trains those fundamental essentials with targeted, efficient drills that will get you guaranteed results FAST! Learn and train the bare bone essentials ("the fundamentals": ear, time feel, technique/accuracy, basic theory, fretboard memorization, etc.) that every aspiring (and seasoned) guitarist should conquer towards higher levels of mastery, under the guidance of Vreny Van Elslande, who is one of the most sought-after guitar teachers in Los Angeles.
This book lays that musical foundation and then builds further into more advanced areas of guitarmanship so that the veteran guitarists can get a lot out of it too.
Some of the lessons include:
* Superstar Result Practice
* Memorize The Note Locations
* The Major Scale
* The Hindustan Scale
* The 7 Major Scale Fingerings
* Ear Training
* Single String Soloing
* Minor Pentatonic Substitution
* Chord Formulas
* The Modes
* Timing & Time Feel
* Writing Songs In Modes
* Music Theory
* Intervals
* Creative Pentatonic Chord Progressions
* The Augmented Line Cliché
* Key Signatures
* Modal Interchange Improvisation
* Triad Substitution Pair Soloing.
* Speed, Dexterity & Accuracy Drills
* +80 Tips To Improve Your Guitar Solos
* Major Blues Comping With Guide Tones
* … and more.
"Guitar Essentials" is jam-packed with practical exercises and drills that produce the best, fastest results. The lessons are snapshots from the author's curriculum, which helped his students go from complete beginners on guitar to professional, full-income earning musicians in three years or less.
The book comes with a ton of Bonus Freebies, including a collection of practice backing tracks, extra bonus chapters, and more.
Finally, a book that pays just as much attention to the why as it does to the how! With so many books that offer only licks and styles, this book dives into the theory a guitarist needs to apply those licks. A much-needed resource for guitarists at any skill level.
