Advanced Guitar Player

Whilst I put a lot of time and effort into the content of Advanced Guitar Player, I make no claim that it is either complete or that it's the easy way to becoming an Advanced Guitarist.

What you see on Advanced Guitar Player is just a collection of ideas that I find useful for my own musical development and consequently, hope that they might be useful for other musicians.

Although there are a lot of sections on Advanced Guitar Player, the musical styles that receive the most attention are Jazz and Blues.

This is obviously partly due to musical preference but also because I believe that any musician with a good grasp of Jazz and Blues will acquire all of the musical knowledge necessary to play any musical style.

As Jazz is a central part of the site, I'm using RealBook Lead Sheets to knock together a basic repertoire of Jazz Standards and Jazz Blues pieces.

During the early stages of Advanced Guitar Player, I'm basically scouring the Internet for material that might be of interest to the Jazz Blues guitarist - I make very attempt to give credit where credit's due but if you feel that I've not credited you or perhaps have overstepped copyright restrictions, don't hesitate to get in touch via the contact form.

As far as creating my own guitar learning material is concerned, I am currently using Band In A Box to create backing tracks and lead sheets for jazz, blues and rock classics. I'm also using Guitar Pro to make tabs and chord boxes and I've just bought a copy of Cubase Essential in order to be able create decent versions of all the tunes.

So I'll be publishing sheet music of melodies, chord progressions, solo and comping ideas and jazz licks etc on the main site . . . and using a combination of BIAB and Guitar Pro 6 - just about the best quality guitar tablature editor around - I'll be creating Backing Tracks, Midi Files and Tabs for the Downloads section.
