<P>-100 Top Quality Blues Licks- <P>-Complete Method To Learn the Guitar Neck- <P>-Over 1hr of Live Examples and Audio for FREE Download- <P>Whether you want a complete method to <em>learn blues guitar</em> or just a set of <em>100 excellent blues guitar licks</em>, this book has you covered. <P>Most guitarists stay locked into the same patterns and scale shapes for years, unable to break out of the habits and licks they first learnt as a beginner. This leads to creative stagnation, boring solos and a sense that something will always be missing from their playing. <P>Ask yourself this: - When you solo do you normally go straight to your first pentatonic box shape? <P>- Do you normally play in a limited range of ‘easy’ keys, like A, E, G and C? <P>- Would you like to have <em>complete freedom to visualize and play in any key</em>, in any position on guitar?</P> <P>- Do you only use minor pentatonic scales, or rarely <em>use rich sounding modes</em> to enliven your playing? <P>If the answer to any of the above questions is yes then this book is definitely for you. <P>This book helps you <em>spread out your playing all over the guitar neck</em>. It frees you from playing the same ideas over and over again. This book spurs creativity by <em>opening up the neck</em> and most importantly, it teaches you an incredibly <em>strong visual method</em> to ‘hang’ scales and licks off 5 easy to remember chord shapes. <P><strong>The CAGED System for Blues Guitar</strong> covers both <em>Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales</em>, <em>The Blues Scale</em> and <em>The Mixolydian Mode</em>. With 25 licks for each scale covering all 5 positions, you’ll never be short of something interesting to say on your instrument. <P>Contained within are the tricks and <em>secrets that professional guitarists use</em> to unlock the neck and always have something new to play. The most important concept is the <em>CAGED system</em> and it helps you to see the fretboard like the back of your hand and to easily play in any key in any position. <P>This isn’t a book just about scales. <em>There are over 100 blues guitar licks in different styles</em> that you will memorise easily, and can form the basis of your new, improved solos. You’ll learn to <em>hang these off each chord shape</em>, so wherever you are on the guitar you’ll never lose the groove. <P>Each lick is demonstrated with an individual audio example which you can <em>download for free</em> from <strong>www.fundamental-changes.com</strong> – There is over an hour of audio included and 8 tailored backing tracks. This is the method taught at the London College of Music’s Guitar Institute and I’m very happy to share these powerful concepts with you in my book. <P>Have fun, and good luck! <P>Joseph Alexander <P>BA Honours, Dip.HE
