Learn to Burn: The guitar speed manual Book

Information.

Everything you need to solo!

This is a beautifully bound book. Stylishly prepared and set out by a fantastically gifted design team – It’ll be the one of the best looking guitar books you could add to your bookshelf.

It's well set out – easy to read and totally on hand so you can pick out the gems of information contained in it!

Professional 21^st century fonts and graphics make reading a pleasure – no tacky antiquated "banged up" product here!

The appendix scale diagrams are in full colour and make use of the colours to help you understand which notes to pinpoint!

We named this book "Learn to Burn" – but maybe we should have renamed it because there’s so much more than just playing fast here!

This is what you get:

• Finally a book that explains how modes work and what sounds they give you. Once you get it – you’ll never know how you got by without them (or maybe you were using them already and didn’t know it!)
• A visual representation of scales as they stretch across the neck of the guitar. This means you’ll be able to play all over the neck and not play a note wrong! The representations cover these: modes from the major, harmonic minor and melodic minor ascending (the jazz scale) scales and how they stretch across the neck, the major and minor chords as they stretch across the neck – and our dear old friend, the pentatonic scale in all it’s 5 shapes. Watch as you turn it instantly into the blues scale!
• Which chords go with which scales and modes.
• How to form a chord progression to practice your scales/modes over.
• Warm-up exercises.
• How to play fast and clean – what makes it sound good compared to people who try and play fast – but sound bad! You get the secrets that they don’t know!
• Lots of ways to sequence your scales – you’ll want some great things to play as soon as you try out your speed!
• Tips for both the fret hand and the picking hand.
• ALL the chords you’ll ever need – in 12 different voicings on the neck – the shapes those real jazz guitarists use – all on only 3 pages! (This in itself is a gold mine!)
• Timing. The greatest pitfall for the guitarist. How many recording session solos have become long endless traumatic hours for all concerned because the guitarist lacked good timing (the main reason why solos need to be redone). You find out how timing works and how to make it your slave!
• Naturalization – learn how phase 1 and phase 2 can get whatever you’re learning into a state of being able to play it cleanly, evenly and accurately with hardly any conscious effort – meaning you’ll be able to use it in a live setting!
• All music is displayed just like any guitar player magazine – in music and tabulature.
• Great source of resources for teachers and their students.
• Exercises for strengthening your hand for playing fast and cleanly.
• Ornamentation – slides, vibrato, trills – and goodies that you can apply to make your soloing to make it sound polished!
• Photos display hand positions and grips.
• Sweep-picking.
• Full support (just email your questions) and added information from Pro Level Guitar.
• And lots more!

Besides all that – you get free access to the downloadable instructional CD for "Learn to Burn"!

• The modes explained even more clearly and examples of them given.
• Lots of tips and extra speed builders, which aren’t in the book.
• Walking through the phase 1 and 2 of the naturalization process so you can fully understand it.
• How to build Modal Pentatonics so you can pull out the essential sounds that make modes sound like they do – raise the eyebrows right off your friends and the cat.
• The No-Brainer practice routine. Just routinely follow the steps and you’ll become an unbelievable player without having to think and worry too much about it!
• Timing explained and examples of it given so you can make sure you’re doing it properly.

• How to learn the scales quickly

• Special explanations of both the picking hand and the fret hand.

• And lots more besides!
