- MBGU ROCK CURRICULUM: FLUID PENTATONICS BOOK 2: 84 MELODIC STUDIES FOR GUITAR
by Tim Quinn photo - A comprehensive manual for developing blistering pentatonic motion that moves freely over the entire fretboard, using position-shifting slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs for speed and fluidity. Emphasis is on overcoming the restrictive nature of traditional pentatonic "box" scale fingerings by developing pathways that continually shift between and connect the five pentatonic "boxes." Complete whole-neck control is developed through an extensive series of repeating melodic exercises and etudes. Section One presents 35 whole-neck studies, each of which spans the range of twelve frets, unlocking virtually every possible position shift. Section Two develops complete non-shifting control through a series of 15 sequential patterns, applied to each of the five pentatonic "boxes." Then, in Sections Three and Four, two vital extensions/variations of the pentatonic scale are fully explored; the Hexatonic and Dominant Pentatonic scales. The resulting sound is NOT bluesy (very little string bending), but closer to a modern jazz-rock fusion style; fluid and unpredictable. Great for all guitarists in rock, jazz, fusion, blues, country, and pop styles. Intermediate. Note/tab. 85 pp.

49-501151.....our price $22.99 buy - JUST US: 14 COMPLETE NOTATION & TAB TRANSCRIPTIONS
by Buster B. Jones, produced by Thomas Redmond photo - Although Buster's scorching fingerpicking is most impressive at first glance, a closer look at "Just Us" reveals that he is equally adept at what many musicians consider a more difficult task: playing fewer notes... ones that mean more, and say more with less. "Just Us" is an album consisting largely of originals. Along the way we are treated to a barn-storming version of "Alabama Jubilee" (it must be tunes like this that caused Chet Atkins to say of Jones "He plays like he's double-parked"), "Collage-a-Reed" and "Clawin'" (each inspired by mentor Jerry Reed), while "Let the Sun Shine In" sounds like an instant fingerpicking classic that you could swear you have heard before, but haven't. Including detailed notation on 15 of Buster's songs from "Just Us," this book/CD lesson will challenge even the best players. Note/tab.
