INTRODUCTION
Progressive Lead Guitar Solos features 20 lead guitar solos incorporating the styles and techniques used by the world's best lead guitar players. It will be necessary to already have a knowledge of lead guitar before starting this book. (See Progressive Rock Guitar Method and Progressive Rock Guitar Technique by Brett Duncan).
The emphasis in this volume is to provide a vast variety of music styles to enable you to fit in with any music performing or recording situation. It is note necessary to work through every page before proceeding to the next, as it depends on what area you want to improve your skills.
The first four sections cover Rock, Blues, Heavy Metal and Country. Extra solos are included in the final section covering other popular modern styles such as Jazz, Funk and Soul, Rockabilly, Slide and Fingerpicking.
It is also important that after a while you begin to play these solos with some variations of your own. Combine the study of these solos with constant playing and listening. All lead guitar players use the same basics, but development of style is determined by how these basics are used.
It is also recommended to work through this book in association with the accompanying compact disc or cassette which will allow you to hear how the solos should sound. You will also be able to practice along with backing tracks, giving you the opportunity to create your own solos.
Good luck and have fun,
Brett Duncan
