Singing for Success!

This course has it all covered!

Expanding your range, getting rid of the "break", vocal licks and much more!

Transcribe!

I Use this tool a lot as well - it's great for transcribing licks.

As you may know, only 30% of what we play is truley improvised - the other 70% is stuff we've learnt.

Make a list of the favourite licks of your favourite guitarist and write them out!

Imitate, assimilate and then Innovate!

Pure Pitch

A perfect pitch course

If you've ever previously tried to learn absolute pitch from other courses, then the Pure Pitch Method will seem to make much more sense in your logical mind. That's because this approach is very logical and not at all like other methods on the market. This method is quick and won't take years to master, in fact you will see results after the first lesson.

PS This beats David L. Burge's Perfect Pitch Super course hands-down!

Guitar Pro

This is a really good tab program. It imports power-tab files.

I used this software at Jazz school to create my transcription assignments!

It also is good for creating backing tracks! Just find the midi (or guitar pro files) online.

Load it in and mute the guitar tracks. Export as a wave and you have a backing track!

Power-tab

A completely free tab editor. It doesn't have all the tools of guitar pro - but it's a wonderful piece of software!

It's got a great stave to bitmap to clipboard function.

As you know, you can copy images on the clipboard into the guitar Freak Workstation workpage!

Band-in-a-Box

This is a legend piece of software. You can create chord progressions and record yourself playing over it.

Lots of Styles, Real instruments and more!!!

It gets chords from midi, waves and cuts yourworkload down!

It really is a Band in a box!

Straight to your door!

You can get all your accessories straight to your door with a couple of clicks!

Jim Dunlop Jazz III picks - everybody from Eric Johnson to Micheal Angelo Batio use these picks. Buy them in bulk here (you know they always get lost - tip - order red!)

The String I use 9-42, however you can get other gauges here

Metronome - if you don't have one - you need one - this ones really inexpensive!

Fastfret - preserve your string life - I always have a can of this around!
