{"product_id":"the-massive-book-of-guitar-exercises-9798378620661","title":"The Massive Book of Guitar Exercises","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis book is aimed at guitarists of all levels and styles, as well as bassists\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cb\u003eThis book contains more than 1800 exercises\u003c\/b\u003e! The exercises cover a wide range of playing skills, techniques, and finger combinations. Without the use of scales or music theory, this is strictly an exercise book that will greatly improve finger speed, strength, picking, and playing techniques. Although no scales are used in this book, the finger combinations and patterns do appear in all scales, solos, riffs, and bass lines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe exercises are written in tablature (tab)\u003c\/b\u003e. However, because the fingerings are the same as the fret numbers, many of the exercises are shown from the first fret. This makes the exercises much easier to learn, so they can be moved to any other fret. The majority of the exercises include alternate picking and economy picking with fingering suggestions. The exercises are then repeated with hammer-ons and pull-offs. Some guitarists rarely use economy picking and instead prefer alternate picking, hammer-ons, and pull-offs. Economy picking is included because many guitarists use it for speed. It is recommended to work on alternate picking before economy picking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThere are several ways to approach this book\u003c\/b\u003e: you could practice an entire section over a week, a single exercise per day, or if you are an experienced player, you may want to go directly to exercises that help with a specific technique you want to improve. If some exercises or techniques are too difficult to begin with, switch to another exercise or section and return later. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eConsider this book to be a guitar gym\u003c\/b\u003e. Similar to going to the gym, you would return and repeat the same exercises or focus on a specific area you want to improve. The majority of the exercises in this book are simple to learn and can be played while doing something else, such as watching a movie or listening to music!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Connors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798378620661\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40848629465203,"sku":"9.80E+12","price":32.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_6ff011fc-20ef-41c5-af4b-9fc483fdcb50.jpg?v=1686327683","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-massive-book-of-guitar-exercises-9798378620661","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
