As the official music publisher of thousands of popular artists, songwriters, and composers, Alfred releases Shredding the Blues, an exciting Book & DVD set that brings together the blues and heavy metal shred guitar techniques. Perfect for any serious shredder, master shred guitarist and author Dave Martone goes through all the techniques needed to shred within the soulful, emotion-filled heart of the blues.
Written in standard music notation and TAB, Dave covers all of the most important techniques in Shredding the Blues, including sweep picking, tapping, hybrid picking, and string skipping. Features include licks in the styles of master blues shredders, shred-style explanations of blues basics, useful blues chords and scales, and more. Easy-to-read neck diagrams help make learning chords, scales, and arpeggios effortless. The included DVD is hosted by Dave and features his unique, entertaining, and clear approach to expressing technical and musical ideas.
