Click here to BUY - $12.99 Only!! (Includes the E-book & Audio for tracks in 5 different genres along with Ear-Training exercises & Drum loops for practice!)
TheGuitarThing Grade 2 contains the Pentatonic Scale, the Blues scale, exercises as well as various other rhythmic ideas which will help you create your own riffs & licks. In addition, it covers Dominant 7th, Diminished, Augmented & Suspended chord shapes and progressions helping you build a better chord vocabulary.
Furthermore, emphasis is laid upon expanding your fretboard knowledge so that you are able to see the fretboard as one with notes laid out all over as opposed to seeing it as a string number & fret number. This will enable you to play scales, tunes etc anywhere on the fretboard. We also touch upon transposing scales & chord progressions so you are able to change the key of a song if you desire to do so. We have also included some ear-training exercises to help you improve your ability to identify a note using the guitar. You will be learning rhythms in different styles like Rock, Metal, Funk, Blues. (You can download free drum loops from this page so you can jam with it.)
