Homespun - Take a Solo

Toby Walker - The Secrets to Blues & Country Guitar Improvisation | 95 mn DVD | 772 MB

英文简介：

A blues or country guitarist creates a great solo, spinning single-string notes seemingly out of nowhere, thrilling the audience and getting nods of approval from fellow musicians. How does this happen? How do you even start figuring out which notes to play in the midst of a song or jam session?

Toby Walker has the perfect key to unlocking those mysteries. He shows you how to come up with powerful and compelling improvisations in any key and in any position on the fretboard, using a flat pick or fingers. Concentrating mainly on blues soloing, he eliminates robotic scales and patterns and shows you the “language” of a musical conversation.

You’ll learn how to think in shapes, or “boxes,” finding the root note and then adding the right intervals to come up with licks and solos. Once you start moving from one shape to the next, your playing will flow up and down the fretboard with ease. Then add in the “wasabi” - vibrato, bends, B. B. King-style licks, Lightnin’ Hopkins shuffle beats, and other techniques - and you’ll add really hot spice to your playing.

Once you’ve got the blues ideas under your fingertips, you’ll discover that you can move the same licks to country songs, like Goin’ Down the Road Feelin’ Bad. You’ll be stepping into the spotlight in no time!
