Exploit
your limitations was the
most profound advice ever
given by the great jazz
guitarist Wes Montgomery.
TOTAL GILTRAP is a prime
example of this. Indeed,
Giltrap himself is a
living example of an
artist who has exploited
his limited, right hand
pick and little finger
technique to its nth
degree. In this volume,
we explore open tunings,
legato technique,
two-handed tapping and
the harp-like technique
of open strings and
harmonics. This is all
wrapped up in a very
English approach to
melody and invention. All
the techniques and pieces
in the book are featured
on an accompanying audio.
All the examples are
recorded at half tempo
and full tempo, making it
a very easy to follow
guide. TOTAL GILTRAP is a
snapshot of ideas ready
to be exploited and
developed by the willing
and imaginative student
of the modern day
acoustic guitar. Includes
access to online
audio.
