Features and Benefits of the Guitar Master Method
3 octave method–The Guitar Master books present new fingering that provides a logical and systematic approach to mastering all the major and minor scales (including arpeggios) through the entire 3 octave range of the guitar. The uniqueness of the guitar requires that a student know a minimum of four fingerings for each scale. Part of the “magic” of the new approach is its incorporation of scales and arpeggios with basic chord progressions.
Stretch fingering–There are many occasions when it is necessary to stretch your fingers beyond the range of the position you are playing. The Guitar Master system develops finger independence, agility, finger strength, and finger patterns to facilitate moving over the instrument.
Soloing and Performance–Guitar Master provides a complete set of progressively difficult material that will raise your level of performance. Development of technical skills along with an understanding of relevant musical theory prepare the Guitar Master student to be flexible, creative when performing, soloing and composing music.
Position playing and music notation–Learn fingering and musical notation effortlessly in thirteen positions. Guitar Master material accelerates learning of musical notes as well as the neck of the guitar.
Efficient picking technique–Guitar Master offers a remarkable technique for using the pick in the most efficient way. It is a unique combination of alternate and directional picking. Alternate picking is a constant down and up stroke. In directional picking, the pick always flows in the direction of movement toward the next string. With no wasted motion, this is very practical method.
Control and fluidity –The technique taught in the Guitar Master system allows the guitarist to produce a smooth and even sound, with unrivaled control even when playing complex and intricate patterns.
