Book 1 in the Fluid Soloing series, Arpeggios for Lead Rock Guitar is a modern arpeggio handbook and comprehensive training manual for developing fast, flowing arpeggio runs that connect the entire fretboard. The lessons emphasize developing fluid, non-shifting arpeggio patterns (across the neck) using hammer-ons and pull-offs for speed and fluidity. They also focus on developing smooth position-shifting arpeggios (along the length of the neck) using slides. These two types of motions are then connected and combined in an extensive collection of soloing études for full assimilation. The result is a complete system of arpeggio pathways that connect every part of the fretboard and facilitate maximum speed and range. The tutorials present a complete whole-neck connections for major 7th, dominant 7th, minor 7th, minor 6th, half-diminished, diminished 7th, major triad, and minor triad arpeggios.This instructional arpeggio book is for all guitarists who are serious about improving their ability to solo over chord progressions using arpeggios in any style of music, including rock, jazz, fusion, blues, country, or pop. Having the ability to instantly outline any chord in a song with a fluid arpeggio run (no matter where your hand is on the neck) is immensely valuable for every guitarist. This book and CD set methodically teach you the skills that make this possible. Loaded with melodic arpeggio passages that can be applied to your music immediately, the guitar lessons in Rock Curriculum are extremely practical and powerful. Includes standard notation, guitar tablature, and demonstration CD.. ...details  Mel Bay Books, Videos and Music > Learn to Play > Guitar > Books > Book with Media > Mel Bay Rock Curriculum: Fluid Soloing Book 2/CD: Pentatonics. Book 2 in the Fluid Soloing series, Fluid Pentatonics for Guitar - 84 Melodic Studies for Rock Guitar is a comprehensive manual to help intermediate guitarists develop blistering pentatonic motion that moves freely over the entire fretboard using position-shifting slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs for speed and fluidity. The guitar lessons emphasize overcoming the restrictive nature of traditional pentatonic box scale fingerings by developing pathways that continually shift between and connect the five pentatonic boxes. Complete whole-neck control is developed through an extensive series of repeating melodic exercises and études. Section one presents 35 sequential whole-neck studies, each of which spans the range of twelve frets, thus unlocking virtually every possible position shift. Section two develops complete non-shifting control through a series of 15 interesting and useful sequential patterns applied to each of the five pentatonic boxes. Section three presents 10 whole-neck/position-shifting studies that are non-sequential in design in order to develop unpredictable melodic flow. Then, in sections four and five, tutorials fully cover two vital extensions/variations of the pentatonic scale: the hexatonic and dominant pentatonic scales. The result is a complete matrix of pentatonic moves and connections that allow the guitarist to float freely across the entire fretboard without being locked into any single particular pentatonic box. The resulting sound is definitely not bluesy (very little string bending), but closer to a modern jazz-rock fusion style—fluid and unpredictable. Great for all guitarists in rock, jazz, fusion, blues, country, and pop styles that want to unlock complete whole-neck freedom and develop a fast, modern pentatonic sound.

Book 3 in the Fluid Soloing series, Chord-Lead Soloing for Guitar is a complete method for developing fluid double-stop chord melody. This style of playing can be heard most notably in the playing of Jimi Hendrix (in songs such as "The Wind Cries Mary," Little Wing," and "Castles Made of Sand") as well in the music of the guitarists he influenced, including Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Chord-lead style playing bridges the gap between straight lead and strictly rhythm because it is simultaneously chordal (implying a specific major or minor chord) and melodic (carrying a distinct singable melody). The lessons show the guitarist how to develop this technique and create continuous connections of moving voicings, merging lead and rhythm into one flowing melodic chordal texture. This is accomplished through a comprehensive collection of chord-lead phrases, each of which is presented in at least three different fingerings (which is important for whole-neck flow). These phrases are then assembled into soloing études that demonstrate practical application over different chord progressions.Chord-lead playing can be adapted to every style of music, including rock, jazz, blues, alternative, funk, R&B, country, and pop. Mastering chord-lead soloing also greatly increases a guitarist's ability to stand alone—that is, to play by himself unaccompanied by other musicians, mixing and switching between chording and lead improvisation. This book is a definitive guide, providing useful tutorials for mastering this highly respected style of playing. Standard notation, guitar tablature, and instructional CD included.. ...details  Mel Bay Books, Videos and Music > Learn to Play > Guitar > Videos > Mel Bay Lick Library: The Path to Fretboard Mastery DVD.

Rock Curriculum: Fluid Soloing, Book 4: String Skipping and Wide Interval Soloing for Guitar is a book with CD authored by Tim Quinn that is a much-needed guitarist's guide to mastering wide interval soloing and includes 212 melodic studies and patterns for guitar.This comprehensive collection of guitar soloing lessons is designed for intermediate guitarists and teaches repeating, continuous motion studies that show how to develop melodic patterns characterized by large intervallic jumps in pitch, from one note to the next, in constant succession. The tutorials in the Rock Curriculum: Fluid Soloing, Book 4 presents four unique approaches to developing wide interval soloing, all of which use string skipping: 1) double pentatonic scales, which are three-note-per-string pentatonic scale patterns; 2) octave sliding, which uses sliding octave shapes in a variety of ways; 3) stacked fifths, which are wide interval shapes derived from pentatonic scales; and 4) wide interval arpeggios derived from the diatonic major scale.The sound that results from these techniques is exciting and unpredictable because it is such a departure from conventional melodic flow, which tends to be scalar, moving stepwise from one note in a scale to the next. By contrast, wide interval guitar soloing is angular and skewed with big skips and sudden directional changes, creating a complex and fascinating sound. All of the studies in the Rock Curriculum: Fluid Soloing, Book 4 instructional book are designed as melodic etudes that can be applied directly to soloing in rock, jazz, fusion, and blues music.These guitar lessons are ideal for serious guitarists in any style who want to break out of typical soloing patterns and create a more explosive, radical sound.
