Creative Chromatics Masterclass: Complete Box Set

Creating tension and release is a fundamental skill of all great-sounding contemporary guitar players. Throughout this three-part Masterclass, we'll be showing you how to build up that control so that you can apply it at the perfect moment to add more depth and interest to your musical lines. You'll achieve this by learning how to combine chromatic pathways and embellishments with creative fusion ideas to smoothly transition between inside and outside playing within your lines. 

In each volume, you'll find comprehensive PDF lesson documents teaching you the concepts in detail. Practical examples then range from exercises, and licks to bring things into the musical world, plus full solos to show you how everything fits together. 

Everything in these three volumes has been specifically designed to help guide you through the process of slowly internalising and mastering the chromatic concepts you need to know the most!

The material in this volume will also provide you with basic finder independence work to get your fingers moving at will. There are also 9 beginner chromatic exercises, 14 chromatic licks and a full beginner solo to pull everything together.

Intermediate: This is where we take a more in-depth look at the various chromatic tricks such as neighbour notes, enclosures and side-stepping.
