(DVD included) Kelly Simonz's Training Method for Ultimate Playing: Practical Edition (Rittor Music) (Guitar magazine)

The world's top guitarist teaches you how to express yourself from the basics! Complete explanations with approximately 90 minutes of video!!

This book is the second installment following the DVD-included instructional book "Kelly Simonz's Training Method for Exceptional Playing." This time, the focus is on improving your "expressive skills" (i.e., your ability to communicate with your listeners) through techniques like vibrato and phrasing. As the "counterpart" to exceptional playing, these are essential for technically-minded guitarists. This book is a fully revival of the classic "The Book That Helps You Express the Sound You Imagine on a Guitar," so its quality is guaranteed. What's more, the 90-minute DVD video is also available on YouTube! It's also easier to use. This is a masterpiece by author Kelly Simon, known for his world-class expressiveness and emotional playing. We hope you'll make the most of it.
