The Italian gangster of guitar offers up the forbidden fruits of blues fusion. Phrases, exercises and super sexy solos that smash expectations and stitch together classic blues with shred happy fusion.
Channel waves of Gambale, Govan, Henderson and Mr Mantovanelli himself in a crash course Masterclass that helps you take the giant steps needed to become a blues fusion pro.
Lydian dominant shapes, licks and examples over chord changes put tension and release at the forefront of this advanced volume from the word go. You’ll then crank up the tension with jazz sounding melodic minor modes, across superlocrian scale exercises and variations that open up new compositional pathways.
After a diminished dance across the whole fretboard, you’ll dive into playing over changes, a staple of both blues and fusion, and finish proceedings by stepping outside the usual scale tones. Inspired by country, blues, fusion and jazz, these scale defying snippets will set you up for the solos that come next.
And in these solos you’ll find it all. Every concept covered in the Masterclass perfectly distilled into eight tension packed, whammy heavy displays of virtuosity that will challenge, inspire and improve your playing.
Includes 91 exercises, 64 slow exercises, 8 solos, 8 slow solos, complete backings, PDF study guide and full tab, notation and GP files.
Go big or go home. This is a Masterclass for the brave, the brazen and those who want to build badass chops that push the envelope at every bar.
