Simple Blues Soloing System
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
Here we dispense with scales, arpeggios and whatnot in favor of just 3 positions on the fretboard that will allow you to get a wide variety of blues-rock sounds under your fingers in no time at all. This is accomplished by focusing on a handful of intervals rather than endless scales, arpeggios and permutations; in other words, we’re going straight to the good stuff!
This book is aimed at intermediate guitarists looking for a practical yet musical approach to blues-rock soloing with concepts and ideas you can get up and running on the fretboard without having to wade through a ton of theory and scale patterns.
What’s more, there’s very little to remember as we learn how to connect sounds by starting off with a handful of notes and then navigating the rest of the fretboard with ease by connecting intervals.
If you’re a high beginner-intermediate guitarist, I think you’ll like this approach, especially if you’ve gotten stuck in scale patterns/pentatonics and find yourself playing the same things over and over.

Graham Tippett (1977-) studied literature, music and languages in the UK before making a permanent move to Mexico in 2005. It was there he began to explore and research methods of improvisation on the guitar and published the '2 Position Scale System' series of instruction books in 2014, which are the fruit of that research. He is also well-known for his love of languages and music, drawing parallels between the two art forms as he continues to write and research on the subjects of language learning and improvisation. His relentless research into guitar improvisation has recently lead to the creation of the Hacking the CAGED System series of books, and Soloing Without Scales - an alternative look at how to improvise on guitar. Graham is also a graduate of the ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music) in Guildford, where he was taught by the likes of Guthrie Govan, Dave Kilminster, Eric Roche and many others.
