The Serious Guitarist: Right Hand Picking (book/CD MP3)

Alfred Music Publications
A Technique-Building Approach for the Dedicated Guitarist

When it comes to right-hand picking technique, serious guitarists have waited patiently for a comprehensive book to address these specialized skills. Until now, rock, blues, and jazz players have not had a book devoted entirely to right-hand picking.
"The Serious Guitarist: Right Hand Picking" fills this gap with a unique, dedicated approach to pick playing that you've always been looking for. You'll learn the most efficient way to hold and use a pick, and discover ways to increase efficiency when moving from string to string.
Lessons are organized by the number of strings - beginning on a single string, then progressing to two-string exercises, then three, all the way up to six strings. The featured exercises have been thoughtfully developed into musical ideas and licks to give a clear example of how you can incorporate the exercises into your own playing.
"Right Hand Picking" provides the tools you need to become a better guitar player, a better musician. The included companion CD features demonstrations of the examples in the book.
