Book Description
This electric blues guitar approach to playing roots music dives deep into gear, right and left-hand technique, and advanced soloing and rhythm accompaniment concepts, including “partial” chords that can be used creatively while a bass guitarist supplies the missing primary chord tones. The author provides unique insights on harmonically intense chord voicings as well as a fresh look at phrasing and thematic soloing ideas. A pragmatic approach to comping includes custom-built voicings for blues and roots styles, a section dedicated to Freddie Green chord forms, 12-bar maps with various turnarounds, and an introduction to the concept of layered rhythm parts. The section on soloing delves into applying chord tones for more expansive ideas; it contains fretboard charts illustrating pentatonic scales, the blues scale and the Mixolydian mode and suggests opportunities for tension and release by applying diminished and altered dominant subterfuge. The book’s excellent play-along guitar, bass and drums companion recordings in jump and funk blues, rockabilly, Latin, and Cajun styles will be useful not only as rhythm guitar examples and backup tracks for lead playing, but also for songwriters who want something more than a metronome or drum track for lyric inspiration and phrasing accuracy. Musical examples are shown in standard notation and tab, extended fretboard diagrams plus the Nashville numbering system, making it easy to play chord backup in any key like a pro.

Book Description
In this expansive book, versatile Argentine guitarist and teacher Pablo Pescatore provides a masterclass in the theory behind creative rock soloing. From the ground up, he presents the theoretical building blocks of major, minor, pentatonic, and modal scales followed by triads and seventh chords in all keys, not just the guitar-friendly ones. Then he proceeds to analyze rhythm in all common and uncommon time signatures before delving into 20 exotic scales. Written in standard notation and tablature, the truly unique aspect of this book is the author’s insistence on improvising with an acute awareness of rhythmic, melodic, harmonic, and dynamic values—not just playing fast and loud in predictable patterns. Demonstrating his ideas in 120 audio examples and a final knock-out blues progression, Pablo encourages readers to write, sing and otherwise incorporate their own variations into their music, dramatically changing the audio landscape of rock guitar soloing. Includes access to online audio.
