• Over 370 exercises and musical examples

Book One: Alternate Picking Guitar Technique

This complete method teaches you everything from building firm foundations to performing blazing, musical etudes. You’ll master:

• Fundamental pick grips and movements
• Changing strings correctly to avoid your pick getting “trapped”
• Essential scale sequences to build your musical technique
• Musical etudes that make key concepts fun and musical

Book Two: Economy Picking Guitar Technique

Economy picking is like two powerful picking systems in one – the strengths of alternate picking with the unbeatable efficiency of sweep picking. Each jam-packed chapter focuses on an essential aspect of economy picking technique and application, with plenty of licks and drills to reinforce every concept. You’ll master:

• Where and when to apply economy picking
• Ascending and descending sweep strokes
• Picking patterns optimised for economy and creativity
• How your heroes play their legendary licks

Book Three: Rock Guitar Tapping Technique

Tapping is an essential guitar technique and has found its way into most modern genres. Once mastered, a whole new palette of sounds and textures is available to enhance your creativity.
This book contains six powerful modules to make your guitar tapping pop!

Module 1: Learn the perfect mechanics for tapping and a range of cool licks and discover articulation techniques.

Module 2: Get the most from single-string tapping with a collection of scale sequenced, arpeggio-based and ostinato licks. Learn etudes in the style of Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads.

Module 3: Learn how to extend pentatonic patterns with tapped notes to create powerful licks. Discover polyrhythms and explore advanced blues scale ideas.

Module 4: Create diatonic modal licks and sequences. Learn three-note-per-string legato runs in the style of Reb Beach and Steve Vai. Play string-skipping taps in the style of Guthrie Govan and Michael Romeo.

Module 5: Master three-octave string-skipping triads, seventh arpeggios and extensions, and how to sequence arpeggios. Play lines in the style of Michael Romeo, Guthrie Govan and Steve Vai.

Bonus Module 6: Get refined with tapped harmonics, crosshanded tapping, and multi-finger lines. Learn the approaches of the greats with a collection of absolutely killer licks.

All in all, Chris Brooks’ 3 in 1 Picking & Tapping Guitar Technique Collection contains everything you’ll ever need to know about building perfect technique, and applying it musically.
