With this method, however, you will achieve noticeable results within a relatively short period.

• bending
• vibrato and legato techniques
• all types of harmonics
• the volume swell technique
• use of the whammy bar and effects pedals
• 120 downloadable examples plus a bonus track
and many more.

The book’s 120 online audio examples are recorded at two speeds: blazing, jaw-dropping fast and then slowly, at half speed for student play-along. Throughout, the author assures the reader that all things are possible with diligent practice.
