Lee Flier Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hey all, A kid I know (age 19) who's been playing guitar for about 6 years is interested in some exercises for building fretboard speed. He's more into Albert Lee kinda speed than Yngvie kinda speed. He seems to know his chords and rhythm stuff quite well and has a pretty solid foundation, but would just like to learn some more scales and techniques for playing leads faster. Anybody got a book recommendation for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael saulnier Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I heard really good things about Sheets of Sound Several players I've known on-line at the HC Forum, have given this high marks and shown improvement in their own playing. It's on my personal "to buy" list, but I haven't become an owner yet. Maybe this would be a good option for your friend... But if YOU become a "shredder" Lee... I'll think you're spoofing us. guitplayer I'm still "guitplayer"! Check out my music if you like... http://www.michaelsaulnier.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werewolf by Night Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Aren't there a bunch of Albert Lee, Danny Gatton, Robin Ford, and such-like lesson video 'n' book sets out there? I can't recall who marketed those, but I remember they had quite a stable of cool, tasteful cats in their roster... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/icons/icon2.gif EDIT: Here it is, "Hot Licks" ; quite a list they've got there!

Lee Flier Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 Ahh didn't see this. Could be! I'll forward this all on to the kid in question and let him pick one that strikes his fancy... they all look like they could be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
