Rock Guitar
Essentials: Gig Savers
Complete Edition combines
Corey Christiansens five
previous pocket-sized
books. Part 1 of this
comprehensive edition
gives aspiring rock
guitarists a working
knowledge of the most
basic scales commonly
used to improvise rock
solos and write rock
melodies. A discussion on
how each scale can be
used over a set of chords
is provided to help
guitarists use these
scales when performing.
Charts provide the names
of the notes on the
fretboard and a section
on sequencing scales
makes it possible for
guitarists to easily
master rock scales. Part
2 teaches the rock
guitarist how to play any
barre chord, providing
insight on how to play
them with ease and
agility. Moveable chord
shapes and practice
etudes are especially
useful for beginners.
Part 3 presents
comprehensive warm-up and
technical exercises.
Studies begin at the most
basic level and progress
in difficulty. This
chapter gives guitarists
the information needed to
continue constructing
their own technical
exercises. Part 4
presents accompaniment
patterns for a wide
variety of pop styles
such as folk, rock/blues,
country/bluegrass, jazz,
and some Latin styles
including bossa nova and
samba. Basic fingerstyle
accompaniment patterns
are taught in a simple
manner, presented with
rhythmic notation and
string numbers. This
chapter pays special
attention to the blues,
covering alternate
changes and substitutions
in a method that provides
easy transposition.
Chapters 3, 4 and 5 are
also included in Jazz
