With guided help through the various techniques, the guitar student can learn how to focus on his or her weaknesses and make them strengths. No matter what style of music you play (rock, metal, jazz, country, blues, classical), you can improve your playing dramatically by learning the fine motor skills of how to play fast.

If you have ever seen a guitarist sit in with another group and play along flawlessly to a song that he or she has never heard before-it's because he or she understands how chords, keys, and chord progressions work together. Develop that ability by understanding where the song is going before it gets there. This book does something that other guitar methods do not: It encourages the use of online resources and current music to solidify learning. What could be more inspirational to a student's progress than playing music that he or she likes? Don't just learn how, but learn why! Don't just learn with old folk songs like other guitar methods, but learn with modern music-music that you love and that inspires you! This book also shows you how to play chords (including power chords) all over the neck of the guitar-not just on the first three frets. It shows how all chords come from just 3 basic chord shapes, and how you can morph these basic chord shapes into a number of different chords-all the chords you need to know to play today's music. This book has reference pages to help you find each of these chords on three different places on the guitar neck, as well as how to change the key of any song. For those who want to write music, this book is an indispensible tool to learning what chords to use for what keys, how to change keys in a song that you are writing, and examples of hit songs successfully using out-of-key chords to give your music a modern sound. Take your playing and song-writing ability to the next level!

This is a must have for lead guitarists wanting to take their playing to the next level!No matter what style of music you play (rock, metal, jazz, country, blues, classical), you can improve your playing dramatically by learning how to sweep pick. You can sound incredibly fast and competent when you learn the techniques in this book. This book shows you how to sweep pick any chord anywhere on the neck of the guitar, using diagrams and guitar tabulature to make the learning process easy. This is not a generic formula for all chords—each chord sweep is treated differently, with ideas that are melodic and original. The types of chords taught: Major, minor, major 7th, minor 7th, 9th, minor 9th, dominant 7th, 13th, diminished, major 7th #5, major 7th b5; not to mention learning chordal scales and tapping sweeps. All of these chords are essential knowledge for any lead guitarist—and knowing how to sweep pick them is icing on the cake! So put away the video games and learn the techniques to make you a real guitar hero!

We find out that jazz icon Bill Frisell won a high school band contest playing R&B tunes, beating out future members of Earth Wind and Fire. We learn which of Nels Cline's compositions he wishes to have played at his funeral.
