Blues Rock Shred

This material is a result of many years of research and describes a little of my way of playing guitar.

It is an in-depth study, which explores and presents several of my favorite melodic patterns and licks as you can check out in my songs and solos.

The first chapter, “Pentatonic Scale”, is dedicated to this scale, which is the most used one to play Blues/Rock styles, exploring a more “shred” way of playing. For this, examples with typical techniques of the style will be used, such as Alternate and Sweep Picking, Tap- pings, Legatos and Hybrid Picking. The “3 notes per string” shape will also be addressed in this chapter, in the part dedicated to the Pentatonic and Pentatonic Blues scales.

The next chapter is entitled “Bluesy”, a term used to describe a way of playing that provides the blues sound, a “Bluesy” feel regardless of style. For example, you can play a Heavy Metal solo and still sound “bluesy”.

In the “Arpeggios” chapter are shown shapes and melodic patterns played diagonally on the neck of the guitar.

Finally, licks that exemplify all the content covered in this course are available, besides the solo of my song T.A.G. in which I use all the techniques shown previously.

I am pleased to share with you, through this Ebook, some of my knowledge and my approach on how to play, think and study. Thus, I hope to contribute to your development in this wonderful instrument, the electric guitar.
