The Advancing Guitarist: Applying Guitar Concepts & Techniques(Reference). Veteran musician and educator Mick Goodrick presents practical information for guitarists who want to improve their playing technique and style and simply become better musicians. Rather than a step-by-step method book, the information is presented in a general essay format, discussing ways that the various techniques covered may be applied by the advancing guitarist to enhance his/her own style of playing, some of the areas discussed include: basic fingerboard mechanics * modes, scales and chords * contemporary harmony * harmonica and overtone influences * being self-critical * improvising short pieces * different playing situations. |

this is the book...... THE book... you can improve your playing and overall vision of the fret board
by reading this book without even having the guitar in your hand... this book is as much philosophy as
it is music.. i have laughed... i've cried... i've advanced.....
