In this book and video guide, Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers gives you an array of tools for making chord progressions more distinctive, deepening your grooves, and getting outside the box of strumming block chords. Over the course of six in-depth lessons, you'll learn how to build dynamics in an arrangement, play bass lines on guitar, and expand your harmonic vocabulary with slash chords and cluster chords. Along the way, you'll explore examples inspired by classic songs, so you can hear and see how these tools work in actual music. You'll discover how varying the technique of both your fretting and picking hands -- and often playing less -- can do so much to make your guitar parts more dynamic and musically satisfying. This comprehensive guide includes written instruction, notation and tab, plus more than 2 hours of accompanying video instruction for all music examples, performed by Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers.
