Arpeggios-A modern arpeggio handbook and comprehensive training manual for developing fast flowing arpeggio runs that connect the entire fretboard. Emphasis is on developing fluid non-shifting arpeggio patterns (across the neck) using hammer-ons and pull-offs for speed and fluidity: and also on developing smooth position-shifting arpeggios (along the length of the neck) using slides. These two types of motion are then connected and combined in an extensive collection of soloing etudes for full assimilation. The result is a complete system of arpeggio pathways that connects every part of the fretboard and facilitates maximum speed fluidity and range. Complete whole-neck connectionsare presented for major 7th dominant 7th minor 7th minor 6th half-diminished diminished 7th major triadic and minor triadic arpeggios. This book is for all guitarists who are serious about improving their ability to solo over chord progressions using arpeggios in any style of music: including rock jazz fusion blues country or pop. Having the ability to instantly outline any chord in a song with a fluid arpeggio run (no matter where your hand is on the neck) is immensely valuable for every guitarist. This book methodically teaches you the skills that make this possible.

There are tunes ('Downtime ' 'The Philadelphians ' and 'Rolling at the Summit') that appear on his commercial CDs but included here are versions that are new and totallyunique to this project. There are also some improvisations on some familiar 'standard' progressions to help the student deal with these changes when he or she encounters them at jam sessions etc. Randy has tried topresent his take on the Jazz language as clearly and faithfully as possible to make the solos easy to learn. He hopes that this will lead the student not just to imitation but also to develop his or her own approach to theseprogressions just as he developed his own approach from listening to the playing of his role models over the years.

It would be much better if they could start with some easier pieces - of intermediate level - in order to be presented to the choro language in a more gradual and appropriate manner. That is the main goal of this book. It has 13 studies (in the 13 more commonly used keys for the choro guitar) written in a reduced form and in the principal stylistic choro variants: besides real choros there are polkas maxixes Brazilian tangos and xotis.
