The goal of
this book is to provide a
concept for guitarists
that will help them go
quickly to the core of
the harmonies that must
be dealt with in order to
improvise over chord
changes. Joe Negri shows
how you can assimilate
harmonies and quickly
determine a common
denominator that you
instantly visualize on
the fingerboard. From
this `cell harmony you
will be able to build or
create single-note
melodic lines. Joe Negri
has taken the
fundamentals of music
theory and made them
applicable and relevant
to the improvising
guitarist. One of this
books secrets is the use
of basic triadic shapes
as an organizational tool
to demystify
improvisation. This keep
it simple approach allows
improvisers to hear and
unveil melodic lines that
are right under their
fingers within simple
triadic shapes. These
studies are packed with
the basic information the
student needs in order to
use the chord tones as
melodic focal points.
Written in notation and
tablature.
