"Guitar Fingers" takes a deep dive into the mechanics of guitar technique with hundreds of pictures, diagrams, and exercises in an unprecedented level of detail. The book steps back in a guitarist's technical development to stop, break down, and analyse left and right hand technique under the microscope. Over 250 colour pictures and diagrams illustrate the book and more than 200 short exercises isolate each technique with the goal of gradually developing or bettering the motor skills it calls for. Seasoned beginners will find the nuts and bolts of fundamental technique while intermediate and advanced players will have a chance to (re-)examine theirs and make corrections. All will raise their awareness of the intricacies of guitar technique. "Guitar Fingers" ambitions to be a modern technique handbook for the modern guitarist. TECHNIQUES: left & right hand posture, downstroke & upstroke, alternate picking, economy picking, sweep picking, hybrid picking, string skipping, chords, hammer-on/pull-off, slide & shift, string bending, vibrato, string muting ENABLING SKILLS (hand/finger): knuckle bending, independence, stretching, agility, strength/stamina, coordination, speed

Shapes and patterns are widely used in teaching the guitar, be it for scales, chords, or arpeggios. This book takes a novel and different approach to the guitar fretboard, emphasising an intervallic thought process. Moving away from shapes and patterns, this knowledge of intervals on the fretboard and its geometric properties leads to an intelligent choice of notes based on their harmonic function. Praised by guitar greats Brent Mason, Bireli Lagrene, Brett Garsed, as well as Jimmy Brown (Guitar World) and Prof. Richard Smith (USC), Intervallic Fretboard demonstrates the versatility of intervallic thinking in various music genres and playing styles.
