Most guitarists stay locked into the same patterns and scale shapes for years unable to break out of the habits and licks they first learnt as a beginner. This leads to creative stagnation boring solos and a sense that something will always be missing from their playing. Ask yourself this: - When you solo do you normally go straight to your first pentatonic box shape? - Do you normally play in a limited range of easy keys like A E G and C? - Would you like to have complete freedom to visualize and play in any key in any position on guitar? - Do you only use minor pentatonic scales or rarely use rich sounding modes to enliven your playing? If the answer to any of the above questions is yes then this book is definitely for you. This book helps you spread out your playing all over the guitar neck. It frees you from playing the same ideas over and over again.
