Builds musical vocabulary - a veritable dictionary of licks, or rather a lick-tionary! Most of these licks are in the key of A minor, since this is a key most guitarists are familiar with.Many are presented in either minor pentatonic, natural minor, Harmonic minor or Dorian scales, since these are the most often-used scales in rock improvising.Encourages substitution with other modes by changing the appropriate intervals. Examples in notation and tablature. Includes access to online audio and video.
