Tunesday Jil's Pentatonik-Workshop

The author Jil Y. Creek, known and loved for her monthly workshop column Jil's Jam in the largest German-language trade magazine Gitarre & Bass, understands like no other how to present this, for some, somewhat brittle subject matter in an exciting and clear way - with guaranteed learning success and a practice plan!

Numerous audio examples enclosed with the book bring motivation and orientation into the daily practice routine. A total of 10 supplementary videos with selected licks (one video for each chapter) enrich the learning content and illustrate guitar articulation (e.g. bendings, tappings, hammer-ons, pull-offs), especially as all videos are also available in a slower version in which the licks are demonstrated at half speed.

The author also approaches the subject of guitar phrasing in a similarly logical way to the fingerings and basic exercises presented: everything that a rock/pop/fusion/blues/jazz guitarist needs is presented: you are systematically introduced to the use of hammer-ons, pull-offs, vibrato, bending, slides, pinch harmonics, dead notes and much more.
