One of the things I love about simple units of music like arpeggios is how many things you can do with them. It seems that our imagination really is the only limit!

A cool example of this is how so many players can play solos comprised of arpeggios, yet sound different to other players doing the same. Steve Morse doesn't sound like Yngwie. Nuno Bettencourt doesn't sound like Frank Gambale, and so on.

I really wanted to address the power of arpeggios as used by some of the most iconic guitarists in rock. So I'm extremely pleased to introduce my new book, 100 Arpeggio Licks For Shred Guitar.

This book pays tribute to the groundbreaking arpeggio stylings of 10 iconic players: ◉ Jason Becker ◉ Yngwie Malmsteen ◉ Frank Gambale ◉ Vinnie Moore ◉ Greg Howe ◉ Steve Morse ◉ Nuno Bettencourt ◉ Michael Romeo ◉ Marty Friedman ◉ Paul Gilbert.

Each chapter focuses on one player, detailing their background and contributions to the arpeggio vernacular, followed by 10 signature licks, written and performed with a dedication to stylistic and mechanical authenticity. Played over various chord types, the licks in each chapter come together to form a monster solo which you can recreate yourself using the included studio backing tracks.

As you pick, sweep, string-skip and tap your way through 100 arpeggio licks, you'll find challenges, insights, and a masterclass in creativity and applied concepts. 120 audio tracks are included whether you grab the paperback, PDF or Kindle using the button below.

"100 Arpeggio Licks for Shred Guitar" has been a labour of love, but also a love letter to the music I grew up on. I truly hope it inspires you and elevates your arpeggio vocabulary!
