Fretboard Roadway (The Essential Guitarr Patterns That all the Pros Know and Us
Fred Sokolow

There are moveable patterns on the guitar fretboard that help you think like a musician and enable you to play chords, licks, scales and progressions in all keys. The pros are aware of these fretboard roadmaps, even if they do not read music. Whether you play rock, blues, jazz, country or classical music, these roadmaps are essential gutiar knowledge. You will need the fretboard roadmaps if all your lead guitar playing sound the same and you want some different styles and flavors from which to choose; some keys are harder to play than others, your guitar fretboard beyond the 5th fret is mysterious, uncharted territory, you can't automatically play any melody you can think or hum, you know some tunes sounds alike, but you still learn each chord progression as if it were the only one of its kind, you've hears jazz chords, but don't know how to play them and don't know how they're structured, you know a lot of bits and pieces on the guitar but there's no system that ties it all together. This book will show you how to play lead and rhythm anywhere on the fretboard, in any key; play a variety of lead guitar styles; play chords and progressions anywhere on the fretboard; expand your chord vocabulary; and learn to think musically the way the pros do. Each chapter presents a pattern and shows how to use it, along with playing tips and guitar insights. Absolute beginners can follow the diagrams and instruction, and intermediate and advanced players can use the chapters non-sequentially to increase their understanding of the guitar.
