As the follow-up to his best-selling book Shredding Bach, master
shredder German Schauss covers yet another all-time great musician.
Niccolo Paganini, whose lifestyle and fame were similar to that of
a modern rockstar, was undoubtedly one of the greatest virtuosos
that ever lived. His skills were so advanced that many believed he
had made a pact with the devil. Paganini's practice schedule (15
hours a day), combined with a genetic connective tissue disorder
that gave him "impossible" reach and flexibility with his fingers,
resulted in extremely demanding and exciting compositions for
shredders of any era. Paganini's works, which showcase his
extraordinary skills, are perfect for the heavy metal style and
will stretch your playing to the limits. The accompanying CD
features all of the examples recorded at multiple speeds to help
you practice and get you on your way to mastering Paganini's
challenging compositions.

Learn the secrets to achieving your ultimate sound Whether amateur
or pro, guitarists live for the ultimate sound. Guitar Amps &
Effects For Dummies provides the information and instruction you
need to discover that sound and make it your own! Written in the
characteristically easy-to-read Dummies style, this book is ideal
for beginners and experienced musicians alike, and can help all
players expand their skill set with effects. Guitarists tend to be
gearheads when it comes to sound, and this book provides guidance
on topics ranging from the guitar itself to amps, pedals, and other
sound technology. Amps and effects are the unsung heroes of guitar
music. While most people recognize the more psychedelic effects,
many don't realize that effects are often responsible for the
unique quality of tone that can become a musician's trademark.
Certain effects work on the volume or signal level, others work on
the environment, and still others work on the bass and treble
content. Guitar Amps & Effects For Dummies covers them all, and
shows how effects can not only add something extra, but also "fix"
problematic areas. Topics include: * Gain-based effects, like
distortion, compression, volume pedals, and gates * Tone-based
effects, including graphic and parametric EQ, and the wah-wah pedal
* Modulation effects, like the flanger, phase shifter, and tremolo
* Ambience effects, including reverb and delay The journey to
incredible guitar music never ends. No matter how experienced you
are with a guitar, there is always room for improvement to your
tone and sound. Whether you're looking for the sound of angels or
thunder, Guitar Amps & Effects For Dummies will help you
achieve the music you hear in your dreams.
