For the first time, the legendary Star Licks guitar instruction video series is being made available in book format with online access to the classic video footage, all of which has been digitally cleaned up and enhanced. All of the guitar tab from the original video booklets has been re-transcribed and edited using modern-day technology to provide you with the most accurate transcriptions ever created for this series. One of the most influential jazz-rock guitarists of all time, Grammy-winner Larry Carlton puts his talent to work for you in two areas of specialization: Blues and Chord Substitution. The Blues section deals with imitation, theme development, extended phrasing, banding techniques, vibrato, and solo construction. In the Chord Substitution section, Larry explains his trademark triad approach, starting with basic chord substitution and leading to extended triad-on-triad usage. This is Larry's exciting fusion sound, spelled out, clarified, and made accessible to any guitarist! All examples are clearly illustrated with substantial musical phrases and improvised solos. Exclusive live concert footage is provided throughout the video to demonstrate the use of Larry's examples in a live band situation. The accompanying instructional booklet comes complete with easy-to-follow diagrams that correspond exactly to the video lesson. For intermediate guitarists and beyond.
