Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.99607EB). ISBN 9781619117204. 8.75x11.75 inches.The goal of this book is to provide a concept for guitarists that will help them go quickly to the core of the harmonies that must be dealt with in order to improvise over chord changes. Joe Negri shows how you can assimilate harmonies and quickly determine a common denominator that you instantly visualize on the fingerboard. From this `cell' harmony you will be able to build or create single-note melodic lines. Joe Negri has taken the fundamentals of music theory and made them applicable and relevant to the improvising guitarist. One of this book's secrets is the use of basic triadic shapes as an organizational tool to demystify improvisation. This keep it simple approach allows improvisers to hear and unveil melodic lines that are right under their fingers within simple triadic shapes. These studies are packed with the basic information the student needs in order to use the chord tones as melodic focal points. Written in notation and tablature.

Banjo - Beginning - Digital Download SKU: M0.93805EB Three Finger Picking. Folk. E-book. 73 pages. Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music #93805EB. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.93805EB). ISBN 9781513455600. 8.75x11.75 inches.All of the arrangements in this book are suitable for play in the very popular style of banjo playing broadly referred to as three finger picking. Within this style we have employed two sub-styles, the Scruggs style and the melodic (sometimes called chromatic) or Keith style. In some cases we have combined features of both the Scruggs style and the melodic style in a single arrangement. Should you have had previous playing experience in either one of these sub-styles but not in both, never fear. The crossover from one sub-style to the other is an easy one. The differences are more to be found in the way you go about learning a given tune than in how you actually play it. So if you have had experience in but one of these sub-styles, perhaps the following style descriptions and comparisons will help.
