“Learn to think like an arranger as well as a player because the concepts underpin everything” - James Graydon

Across a huge swathe of playing examples and lessons, James Graydon gives you the tools to build a playing style that’s versatile, thought out and with room for you to add your own flavours.

40 playing examples are at the core of this release, and with each one James displays theory and techniques that you can apply in a universal way, whether adding interest to lines you know or when creating new ones. A multi genre approach that will help broaden your creative horizons, for both rhythm and lead.

A music coach for the Oscar winning movie, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, a composer for EMI and a touring live guitarist; James has stocked up an astounding vault of knowledge, and in the lessons, no secret is spared as he shares as much as possible with you.

Working on lead lines as well as rhythmic chops, you’ll delve into concepts such as shell voicings, polytonality, walking bass lines and even ideas as specific as navigating changes within four frets, this is where the Masterclass really sings.

With every lesson comes multiple and easy to absorb takeaways that help steer you in new directions. Working on both hands, in linear and nonlinear ways, across a mix of genres; all with the aim of becoming a complete guitarist. One that is at home in a variety of styles, and can play and create with confidence whether alone at home, with others on stage, or at the producer's side in a studio.

This release includes an introduction video, 24 video lessons, 40 playing example videos, 43 backings, full tab/notation, and GP files.

An encyclopaedic Masterclass that funnels a variety of music into a refined and absorbable form, so as you weave through the genres of guitar, you can do so with aplomb.
