DESCRIPTION:
. Author of several guitar technique books, Gress has played guitar for everyone from Todd Rundgren to Paul Shaffer. Jesse Gress, author of The Guitar Cookbook, lives in Woodstock, NY. He is music editor of Guitar Player, a leading magazine for aspiring and professional guitarists of all styles and levels, both electric and acoustic
Using Jesse Gress's ingenious grid system, players will learn how to extract dozens of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic variations from each module.. An encyclopedia of hip lines, Guitar Lick Factory helps beginning and intermediate guitarists build their lick repertoires. It contains hundreds of ready-to-play licks presented as short melodic modules. In addition, it opens the door to jazz for blues and rock players of all levels, gives jazzers the key to authentic blues and rock, and shows the important connections among all three genres. (Book). There's nothing like the feeling you get when you add a new guitar lick to your musical vocabulary
javaboost said Decent Book. I like Jesse Gress's work. It's often simple and to the point. There are a lot of lick books out there to choose from and I think that this one is good because it provides not just licks but a variety of phasing options and rythmic patterns to try them on. This helps jump start you on adapting the lick to yourself. The only thing I don't like about this book is that it's not wire/coil bound. If you're gonna buy it, immediately take it out to and get it re-bound with wire or coil. It will make it much easier to work wi. Pleasantly Helpful This is a handy guide with over 100 classic guitar licks in it for you to play around with & enjoy from many genres of rock music. It begins with some Scotty Moore licks & takes us all the way into modern day music.The way I use these licks is to fiddle around with them on guitar & see what the originator had in mind when he came up with them. I've taken several & simply played them without distorition; then with distortion; then with varying effects; then with just the neck position humbucker; then with the bridge pi. A. N. Paquet said Highly Recommended. Great resource for learning and improving your abilities. Mr. Gress is a generous and effective teacher. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to understand and play these sorts of guitar lines.
