Description :

The Complete Book of Shred Guitar focuses on the technical aspects of playing the electric guitar in the shred style. As the guitar plays such an important role in metal, neoclassical and hard rock, much is demanded of lead guitarists. Having precise and effective technique is paramount, and usually the result of disciplined practice and critical listening over a period of years. With this method, however, you will achieve noticeable results within a relatively short period. Includes: alternate and sweep picking, tapping and pedal point technique, scales and chord progressions, bending, vibrato and legato techniques, all types of harmonics, the volume swell technique, use of the whammy bar and effects pedals, 120 downloadable examples plus a bonus track, and much more. This volume is a technical tour de force and clearly one of Mel Bay's most advanced rock guitar books. The author, Pablo Pescatore of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a virtuoso, conservatory-educated guitarist, well-versed in music theory and sight singing - he has written several books on learning styles, recorded numerous projects and taught electric and classical guitar technique for more than 20 years. The book's 120 online audio examples are recorded at two speeds: blazing, jaw-dropping fast and then slowly, at half speed for student play-along. Throughout, the author assures the reader that all things are possible with diligent practice.
