A thorough guide to the most widely used tunings! CD includes 50 demonstration tracks. Tunes and exercises that illustrate each technique are written in tab and music and played on a CD. These
essential fretboard patterns are roadmaps that all guitarists need to know and use to play in alternate tunings. Learn to: Solo and play backup in Drop D, Open G, Open D, DADGAD, Open A, and
Open E tunings; Play a variety of lead guitar styles and songs (acoustic and electric) in open tunings; Play chords and progressions anywhere on the fretboard, in all keys, in many tunings; and
more. Each chapter presents a fretboard pattern and shows how to use it, along with playing tips and guitar insights. An absolute beginner can follow the diagrams and instruction from the
beginning. Intermediate and advanced players can use the chapters non-sequentially to increase their understanding of the guitar.
