Go Beyond Scales to Play More Exciting Guitar Solos
Tired of playing the same predictable notes, patterns and licks? Wondering what you can play that's not the same old scale? Are you ready to become a master of tension and release?
Chromatic Lead Guitar Techniques is a brilliantly conceived, organic method that quickly teaches you to introduce, control, and resolve chromatic tension in your solos. In minutes you'll be playing notes you never thought you were allowed to in truly personal solos.
In the expert hands of rock guitar legend and Guitar Institute founder Shaun Baxter, you'll develop mastery of chromatic passing notes to craft perfect solos that deliver tension, intensity and excitement.
Go Deep with Chromatic Soloing Techniques - In Any Style Knowing which chromatic notes to use and when might seem like witchcraft right now, but Shaun introduces every option in an organised, step-by-step method.
In Chromatic Lead Guitar Techniques you'll harness the power of these techniques, along with the how, why and when to play them to enhance your solos:
Chromatic approach notes - Introduce chromatic notes above or below scale tones to create more powerful melodic phrases.
Chromatic bridging - Use chromatic notes to link scale notes. Learn "enhanced" scale shapes, patterns and sequences that brighten your solos and take you in new directions.
Chromatic enclosures - This essential soloing technique combines approach notes from above and below to highlight important melodic notes.
Delayed resolution - Develop more musical control over tension and release in your playing by learning how to extend and "interrupt" phrases with added passing notes on adjacent strings.
Twelve-tone rows - Not for the faint hearted! Here you'll go all out with chromaticism and play mind-blowing runs with all twelve notes of the chromatic scale.
Mixed chromatic techniques - A masterclass on how to combine every chromatic technique to create musical, expressive solos that transcend scales and teach you total melodic freedom. These guitar soloing ideas can be used in any style and there are 100s of ideas to discover!
Colouring Outside the Lines Chromatic, or "outside" notes add colour and spice to your playing by offering you nearly twice as many notes to choose from. Crucially, they help you create advanced levels of musical tension and release, and help you move away from simple, predictable scale notes.
