They just seem to hit all the right notes while their playing sounds crisp and melodic, as if they'd planned it all out beforehand, or were born with a God-given sense of melody. I'd always wondered how on earth they were able to come up with such melodic and flowing lines, thinking that they must simply be gifted, or have done some serious woodshedding. Then, during one unforgettable class at music college the door was opened to a method for playing and thinking as melodically and as effortlessly as they did, and this is what I want to share with you in this eBook. This book provides a scale-pattern free perspective on improvising, and can be used by guitarists of any level from beginners who have begun to explore scales, right up to intermediate and advanced players who are perhaps looking to become more melodic, go beyond scale patterns, or have far more control over what they play when improvising. The book is based on a 10-day program of studying and practicing the material for approximately 2 hours a day. As everyone works at a different pace, you may be able to accomplish more in one day than is scheduled in the eBook; this is fine as long as you have internalized the information before moving on. If you've been playing for just a year or two, then you may find you need to spend a couple of days for each 'Day' in the eBook; this is fine too as the point is to understand and internalize the material, not rush to the end. All in all, this 10-day 'retreat' will do wonders for your ability to play what you want when you take a solo, and to demystify the process of improvisation on the guitar. Includes backing tracks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49605551227153,"sku":"GOR012410032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033046483217,"sku":"NIN9781519020277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51726864843025,"sku":"CIN1519020279G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1519020279.jpg?v=1751117693"},{"product_id":"hacking-the-caged-system-book-graham-tippett-9781519021564","title":"Hacking the CAGED System","description":"The Hacking the CAGED System series was inspired by my own, and other guitarist's frustrations with the infamous CAGED System for learning guitar. It all started back in Music College in the early 2000s, at the ACM in Guildford (UK) to be precise, where we were handed, by none other than Guthrie Govan, an inch-thick binder containing all manner of shapes and patterns for the CAGED system, including chords and arpeggios. I duly slaved over the book while burning the midnight oil for an entire semester and while my technique improved no end, I just couldn't turn those patterns into music, or connect them to what I was learning in music theory class. Fast forward to 2016, and with the benefit of hindsight from more than 20 years of playing, I've been able to look at the CAGED system from a different perspective, and one that will hopefully make it a useful system for anyone wishing to learn it. The CAGED system has many flaws, but these can be hacked and rectified to turn it into a powerful system for understanding how the guitar fretboard works, leading to a versatile, and above all, functional knowledge of chords, arpeggios, scales and modes, and key signatures. Who is this Book for? Book 1 in the series is suitable for self-study or with a guitar teacher, and has a wide range of applications: 1) For the beginner guitarist in his\/her first year who is ready to go beyond barre chords and pentatonic scales, this eBook will help to avoid the many pitfalls encountered by beginners when they decide to learn the CAGED system, and hopefully encourage novice players not to give up this wonderful instrument too soon. It also provides a gentle introduction to music theory as it relates to the guitar, and can be put into practice just as easily. 2) For guitarists who've become stuck in a rut with the standard CAGED patterns, aren't sure how to apply them, or can't seem to improvise without their solos sounding scalar or unmelodic. 3) For the intermediate guitarist who may have gaps in his\/her playing, and wishes to fill in those gaps to become a well-rounded and versatile player, or turn their knowledge of the CAGED system into a functional part of their playing. 4) Songwriters who play guitar can also benefit from this book as it provides a basis for learning how common chords work, and how to combine them with melodies. I have also designed this book to align the CAGED system with music theory, thereby making it easier to communicate with other musicians; this is incredibly useful because the CAGED system as it is, is unique to guitar, and therefore restricts communication with other musicians. If you're thinking about going to Music College at some point, then this eBook also provides a good grounding in what you'll learn during the first semester or so. What does Book 1 Cover? Book 1 teaches you the basic major scale forms, shows you where to find all the diatonic chords as well as seventh chords. We then venture into intervals which are the key to making your solos sound like you know what you're doing. Next we bring out the arpeggios, and finally the modes. Everything is tied together using key signatures as a framework to build up a practical knowledge of chords, scales, arpeggios and modes on the guitar. The eBook also features 8 backing tracks to help you practice the material.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50470192939281,"sku":"GOR013793396","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51032972427537,"sku":"NIN9781519021564","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1519021569.jpg?v=1750860603"},{"product_id":"pentatonics-pro-book-graham-tippett-9781079179736","title":"Pentatonics Pro","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763725373713,"sku":"CIN1079179739G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51019058086161,"sku":"NIN9781079179736","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51296262062353,"sku":"GOR014219944","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51299874832657,"sku":"GOR014220443","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1079179739.jpg?v=1751205852"},{"product_id":"fourths-tuning-book-graham-tippett-9781074644536","title":"Fourths Tuning","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51018421928209,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51018424287505,"sku":"NIN9781074644536","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1074644530.jpg?v=1750984260"},{"product_id":"hacking-the-caged-system-book-graham-tippett-9781519022066","title":"Hacking the CAGED System","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51033235194129,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033237127441,"sku":"NIN9781519022066","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1519022069.jpg?v=1750828563"},{"product_id":"two-position-guitar-scale-system-book-graham-tippett-9781519030795","title":"The Two Position Guitar Scale System","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51033358991633,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033361482001,"sku":"NIN9781519030795","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1519030797.jpg?v=1750718272"},{"product_id":"7-string-guitar-method-book-graham-tippett-9781520605067","title":"7 String Guitar Method","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51033478463761,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033480593681,"sku":"NIN9781520605067","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1520605064.jpg?v=1751021526"},{"product_id":"fourths-tuning-book-graham-tippett-9781549659911","title":"Fourths Tuning","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51036479717649,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51036482568465,"sku":"NIN9781549659911","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/154965991X.jpg?v=1750959229"},{"product_id":"fourths-tuning-book-graham-tippett-9781549734212","title":"Fourths Tuning","description":"Following on from, 'Fourths Tuning - Chords and Inversions' (also available on Amazon), I wanted to share a number of ways to see scales and arpeggios in fourths tuning that really take advantage of having a fretboard with a symmetrical layout. This book is divided into three sections. In the first, we look at how to transfer your knowledge of scales and arpeggios from standard tuning to fourths tuning, so as not to have to start again from scratch. In the second section, we go deeper into scales and arpeggios using a system borne out of the symmetrical nature of fourths tuning, and which will have you playing scales and arpeggios easily and freely all over the fourths fretboard in a matter of hours. In the final section, we abandon shapes and patterns all together and really begin to take advantage of the consistent interval layout in fourths tuning to form chords, arpeggios and scales on the fly using interval formulas. If you're transitioning from standard to fourths tuning, this book will guide you along the way and help you make the most of the exciting world of all fourths tuning on guitar.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51036718694673,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51036721086737,"sku":"NIN9781549734212","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1549734210.jpg?v=1750719013"},{"product_id":"50-guitar-hacks-for-the-advancing-guitarist-book-graham-tippett-9781519040404","title":"50 Guitar Hacks: For the Advancing Guitarist","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52323229827345,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52323231269137,"sku":"CIN1519040407G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781519040404.jpg?v=1757971415"},{"product_id":"from-scales-to-solos-book-graham-tippett-9781521254790","title":"From Scales to Solos","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52750345404689,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52750345797905,"sku":"NIN9781521254790","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781521254790.jpg?v=1763552773"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-graham-tippett.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
