Summary of This Method
Designed for guitarists who want to achieve a natural, singing, and precise connected playing, this method guides you step-by-step towards a smoother legato without sacrificing articulation or attack. You work on the coordination between the fretting hand fingers and the pick to optimize the energy of the gesture, limit tension, and improve the cleanliness of transitions. The focus is on sound continuity, managing transitions (hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides), and rhythmic stability to transform technical ideas into playable musical phrases.
The proposed licks fit within a modern and expressive aesthetic, inspired by great masters of legato playing and electric phrasing. The included CD (80 tracks) allows you to hear the musical intention, timing, and dynamics, then reproduce nuances more effectively: attack, note length, accentuation, and control of unwanted noise. Originating from the educational world of the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, this work aligns with the MI Press philosophy: a structured training designed to be useful at any level, whether you want to solidify your fundamentals or refine a more virtuosic style. Ideal for enriching your guitar vocabulary, gaining fluidity, and giving your phrases a more "vocal" and controlled sound.
