Most guitarists stay locked into the same patterns and scale shapes for years, unable to break out of the dull habits and licks they first learned as beginners. This leads to creative stagnation, boring solos and songwriting, and a sense that something will always be missing from their playing. Ask yourself this: 1. When you solo do you normally go straight to the same old blues scale or riff? 2. Do you usually play a limited range of easy keys or chords, like A, E, G and C? 3. Do you use the same scale, lick and chord ideas over and over again? 4. Would you like to expand your playing to any position on guitar fretboard and enhance your songs and solos with new and exciting musical ideas? If your answer to any of the these questions is yes, then this book and video course is definitely for you! Ultimate Guitar Handbook helps you get out of your rut and expand your playing throughout the guitar neck. It frees you to enliven your solos and songwriting with bold, new ideas and techniques that will help create your personal style.
