German schauss: shredding bach guitare+cd: Heavy Metal Guitar Meets 10 J. S. Bach Masterpieces (incl. Online Code)

Básicamente eso. El libro cuando lo miras piensas, bien, tiene buena pinta. Ahora bien cuando escuchas el CD ... se te quitan las ganas de perder el tiempo. Si ni al propio autor le suena bien ...

Excellent!!

Bought this for my son! He absolutely loves it. He has learned so much from this book.

Can't live without virtuoso metal or shredding? Or Classical Music? Are you a serious rock/metal lead guitarist who wants that bit more mileage in their repertoire? If you match one or all of these criteria, then this is indeed something for you to empower your guitar playing with. Please believe me, when I tell you that you are really in for the ultimate in guitar instruction here.Shredding Bach is an in-depth analysis on how the amazingly complex but musical masterpieces of J.S Bach can be adapted and played in a heavy metal/shred guitar style. Given the highly applied and technical nature of heavy metal and shred guitar, it is nevertheless an affirmative fit with classical music. This excellent book stands apart in the sense that the music itself is the method of instruction. That's right folks, the very music of Bach itself will be teaching you killer lessons in technique, theory and musicality. Instead of countless exercises, you will learn ten real musical pieces by Bach adapted for metal guitar starting from simplest to the most advanced.However, what really makes this book stand alone in uniqueness from others is that each defining element (whether it be a concept, technique, phrasing idea) which makes the piece what it is in its musical context, is isolated and has its musical potential analysed, so you can see how it works on the whole in the piece. I feel that the player can improve their music theory and aural skills (so that they can recognise such elements in other music and even go onto using them in their own compositions and playing) and take something away from that. This was really instrumental in my own understanding in my pursuit of guitar mastery. It by far is an exemplary means of musical emphasis at work.Also, your potential technical improvement is by no means spared either, given that each piece requires pretty well developed technique to play fluently and by learning these pieces at your own pace, you will be trained accordingly in vital skills for metal/shred guitar such as alternate picking, string skipping, sweep picking, legato and two handed techniques such as tapping and sweep tap.This book is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitar players/students that share a passion for neoclassical metal guitar (I am talking about the substyle of heavy metal that is influenced by classical music and popularised by metal guitarists such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine, Chris Impelliteri, Marty Friedman and Luca Turilli) I would also recommend it to any lead guitarist serious on constantly looking to improve their musical technique and theory.The author German Schauss is a guitar instructor and academic at Los Angeles Music Academy and Berklee College of Music (Boston, Massachusetts)in the department of rock guitar studies. He also has a breathtaking instrumental album titled The Lightspeeder out. Given that he, like us, shares the same passion for neoclassical metal and shred guitar, you can be sure that you are getting the most genuine and up to date instruction that this field of guitar playing can offer. Also, as someone who was fortunate enough to attend one of his guitar clinics at Berklee a couple of years back, I can only reiterate this with absolute certainty.Although not for the faint hearted, these pieces will nevertheless challenge any passionate guitar playing fans of neoclassical metal and/or lead guitar in general and will indeed make good on their technique and musical knowledge. Included is also a CD of the pieces recorded at both slow and normal speed. So, when you are ready to get this book, make sure your guitar is all supplied with amperage and ready to burn. Shred on!!

I've just started learning these tunes, I'm excited with the fact that it comes with backing tracks!
