Summary of This Book
This pack is an immersion into country guitar and its major figures, from Merle Travis and Chet Atkins to Vince Gill and Brad Paisley. The book offers faithful solo transcriptions, presented both in standard notation and tab, suitable for both sheet music readers and guitarists accustomed to tablature. Each solo is accompanied by lessons that highlight the style's mechanisms: rhythmic placement, attacks, dynamics, typical licks, transitions, and melodic vocabulary.
The included CD contains full band demos of each solo, a valuable asset for working on timing, intention, and real-life ensemble playing. It also includes the Amazing Slow Downer software (Mac and PC), useful for slowing down recordings to any tempo without changing pitch, to secure fast passages and refine precision. The repertoire features titles such as "Country Boy," "Foggy Mountain Special," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Hellecaster Theme," "Hello Mary Lou," "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail," "The Only Daddy That Will Walk the Line," "Please, Please Baby," and "Sugarfoot Rag," along with other essential tracks to enrich your playing.
