The new Guitar Reading Workbook (click to check it out at amazon.com) is finally finished and up for sale.
I worked really hard on this book and am sure people will benefit from it. Reading is often neglected by guitarists, but even just learning its basics can help you play better.
The Guitar Reading Workbook explains notation reading in detail, relating notes on the staff to simple fretboard diagrams and tablature. Practice lists and 100 written exercises (with a complete answer key included) help you focus and get the concepts down quickly. Teachers can cover a concept in a few minutes and assign the written exercise as homework, giving students something to be accountable for outside the lesson.
Please contact me with any questions (product feedback especially appreciated!).
You can get my music on iTunes! Or click here to buy my CD (yes, please) entitled Moe’s Art (Like Curly, Larry, and Mozart...right. It seemed funny at the time). It’s heavily-crafted (each track has an actual melody!) guitar music, sort of like Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Robben Ford. The styles are jam-rock, surf, country, and a little jazz. Try it, you’ll like it...
Your CD order is processed and shipped through the very reliable and trusty services of guitar9.com, the web’s oldest and foremost dealer of strictly guitar music.
For the guitar apprentices out there, try my Guitar Fretboard Workbook, which has been amazon.com’s top-selling guitar book for most of 2006 and 2007.
For the slightly more advanced (but still a pretty easy program), try my new book/CD, Chord Tone Soloing.
I’ve been a full-time instructor at Musicians Institute in Hollywood since 1989, lately playing with some bands like Gis Johannson’s Big City, though he just made the big move to Nashville. Lucky SOB.
There’s more about me (including more free tunes and lesson stuff) at my website, monsterguitars.com.
My Bass Player (Kevin) and I are hosting an Open-Mike Night on Wednesdays at The Venice Bistro in Venice. Right on the Boardwalk, prime location for all the foot traffic to hear you. I'd like to invite you and anyone you know down to play originals or covers. 2-3 songs each musician and we will have a PA, mikes, acoustic guitar, electric piano, and acoustic bass. Should be a lot of fun and a great forum to sell/give away your cd and to network with other local musicians.
Venice Bistro (5:30-10pm) 323 Ocean Front Walk Venice, Ca
