The Advancing Guitarist

Veteran musician and educator Mick Goodrick presents practical information for guitarists who want to improve their playing technique and style and simply become better musicians. Rather than a step-by-step method book, the information is presented in a general essay format, discussing ways that the various techniques covered may be applied by the advancing guitarist to enhance his/her own style of playing. Some of the areas discussed include: basic fingerboard mechanics; modes, scales and chords; contemporary harmony; harmonica and overtone influences; being self-critical; improvising short pieces; different playing situations. 120 pages.
