Description

Improvise with confidence and creativity on the guitar. This comprehensive guide draws on over 25 years of experience as a professional musician and tutor to provide practical strategies, techniques, and theory for classical, fingerstyle, and jazz guitar players.

With more than 60 exercises in standard notation and guitar tablature, this book offers clear examples of key concepts and longer, more complex pieces that demonstrate how these ideas can be developed. It also suggests new techniques and strategies for solo or group performance, recording, music exams, and expanding musical horizons.

By exploring the historical development of improvisation and drawing on a wide range of inter-related literature and listening, this book places theory and practice in a broader context. The CAGED system is also explained in detail, showing how its five basic patterns can be transformed into hundreds of interlocking modes, scales, arpeggios, and chords.
