The Guitar Player's Guide to Developing Speed, Accuracy, and Tone (by
Brad Davis and Dan Miller) is a 150 page book, with 157 audio tracks,
that will show you how to develop speed, accuracy, volume, tone, note
clarity, and fluidity for the acoustic guitar. Most books teach you the
notes to songs, this book teaches you how to make each note that you
play in those songs sound clear and distinct with rich tone and how you
can bring all of those notes together in a smooth and fluid flow at any
tempo.
The first section of this book explores all of the details
of right and left hand mechanics and technique and helps you analyze
your mechanics so that you can play the guitar in the most efficient and
effective manner. Then this book presents an extensive series of
step-by-step exercises to help you develop all of the "meat and
potatoes" pick style guitar techniques, to include: rhythm strums, down
stokes, alternate picking, rhythm pick pattern (RPP), picking against
the grain, forward and reverse roll crosspicking, forward-reverse
crosspicking, harmonized scales, string skipping techniques, floating,
playing drone strings, skip string crosspicking, rest strokes, sweep
picking, and double-down-up picking.
The material is presented in a
series of six "phases," each building on the techniques and exercises
that are presented in earlier phases. The step-by-step approach will
insure that your pick style acoustic guitar technique is fully
developed. If you are looking to improve your speed, accuracy, tone,
volume, note clarity, and fluidity, this is the book for you. Players at
all levels can benefit greatly from the material presented in this
book.
Flatpicking Guitar Magazine editor, and co-author, Dan
Miller says, "I am very excited about this book. Brad Davis and I have
worked very hard to insure that The Guitar Player's Guide to Developing
Speed, Accuracy & Tone is a very complete program of study. I'll
tell you, this program works! In the past year and a half I have written
and published seven volumes of the Flatpicking Essentials course and
I've received a lot of great feedback from the flatpickers who are
working with that material (Thanks!). But I'll have to say that I
personally learned more in terms of taking my own guitar playing
abilities to the next level with this new book than I have with any book
I've ever written or worked with in the past. I really believe in this
program that Brad Davis has designed."
"This program really helped me
improve every aspect of my guitar playing. After working with this
material I can now play faster and louder and I have better tone and
note clarity. I feel my playing is much smoother and more fluid as well.
And this book is great because no matter what your current level, you
can learn a lot from working with these exercises. Brad Davis has been
playing professionally for over 30 years and these are the exercises
that he uses to warm up for performances and studio sessions. They will
work for anybody."
