PG Music Flatpick GTRsolo W
The Master Flatpick Guitar Solos
program is a fully-featured interactive music program with
professional flatpick arrangements of 50 songs. Each song
features a flatpick guitar solo played by top studio musician
Marty Cutler, as well as accompanying piano (comping), bass,
drums, and strings. There are almost 3 hours of flatpick guitar
soloing in this program.
The purpose of this program is
to help you to learn the art of flatpick improvisation. The
student who wants to learn to improvise flatpick music is
usually told to listen to some flatpick solos, and learn from
them.
Unfortunately, the student often encounters some obstacles after
receiving this advice.
-
There aren't a lot of flatpick solos available in written
form.
-
Many solos that are written out are of very advanced
material, beyond the playing ability of the student. For
example, the student may struggle to learn 16 bars of a
complex solo based on a modal scale, but finds it difficult
to widely apply this information to more mainstream flatpick
songs with typical chord progressions.
We have created a program that
has a huge library of flatpick solos, based on the following
parameters:
-
All of these solos are "mainstream" playing, based on
typical chord progressions.
-
Most of the soloing uses eighth notes, or triplets, so it is
playable by most musicians.
-
Each song contains 3 or more full choruses of music.
-
Optional guide-notes display scale tones in the correct key.
Note names are provided to aid in note/fret recognition.
-
You can see the solos on the on-screen fretboard, hear the
solos, slow them down, or step through them one note at a
time.
-
You can play along with the accompanying instruments as you
learn the solos.
- The solos may be printed
out for further study.
How to use the program - This
program contains flatpick guitar solos covering various styles,
from easy-to-play to advanced phrases. We suggest that you learn
the phrases by first watching the On-screen guitar fretboard,
while the notation scrolls by. You'll notice that the notation
also contains TAB. To study a particular phrase, the program
includes advanced looping features. You can loop a number of
bars, what you see on the screen, or the entire song. If the
song is playing too quickly, you can adjust the tempo, or even
the key.
Includes Band-in-a-Box Files - As
an additional bonus, we've included the 50 songs in
Band-in-a-Box format, free with this standalone product. If
you're a Band-in-a-Box user, you'll find the songs in the
FGSOLO50 directory in your main install directory.
