Summary of This Method
Designed for guitarists who want to play iconic songs faster and cleaner, this method from the Guitar Play-Along collection combines tablature reading and practice with backing tracks. The principle is simple: you follow the tablature, first listen to the guitar part to fully understand the articulation, phrasing, and expected sound, then play along with dedicated backing tracks, just like rehearsing with a band.
Thanks to the online audio files, you can tailor your practice session to your level: slow down to lock in transitions, refine attacks and legato, then gradually increase the tempo while maintaining the original key. The repertoire highlights a guitar universe with jazz, smooth, and fusion colors, featuring: After Hours (The Antidote) (Ronny Jordan), Breezin' (George Benson), Cause We've Ended As Lovers (Chieli Minucci), High Five (Chuck Loeb), Night Rhythms (Lee Ritenour), Smiles and Smiles to Go (Larry Carlton), Up 'N' at 'Em (Norman Brown), and Wishful Thinking (Earl Klugh). An excellent resource to enrich your vocabulary, work on timing, and develop a musical and fluid interpretation.
