If They Know
How To Do It Using The Guitar Secrets!
Have you ever
wondered how in the world did you learn to talk or walk when
you were young? In retrospect they would seem tough for a kid to master doesn’t it? But guess what...you
did it!
You won't learn to become a great guitar player by reading any book, but it can make some interesting reading while practicing or sitting on the can.
Now that all the intrigue and mystery has been sucked out of learning to play the guitar with a million "learn to play guitar" products and instant downloads, torrents and other crap, you might as well jump on the bandwagon and see if you can grab a few nuggets.
Just skimmed it. This is perfect for a beginner or perhaps an intermediate player. Includes foundation concepts and diagrams and ramblings such as "The X-Factor":
"Whatever it is, this is a tricky element that is highly evasive yet is
what separates you from the mediocre masses. Different things work for
different people. You will have to find that secret spot in the most
naturally way possible without trying too hard. Usually it involves you
doing what you are best and talented naturally. Doing that will ensure that
you will be recognize for what you can do best, thus creating a strong
differentiation factor from others. You can draw some inspiration from
different role model whom you think you can emulate well.
Do take note, however, that having the X-factor isn’t the sure win
trait to become a rock star. In fact, some famous rock stars don’t even
have satisfactory X-factor. It is their songs that sell!"
"Combining all the Elements Together"
"Combine all the above-mentioned elements together in the right
way and you will find your personalized playing style.
To conclude the chapter, understand the boxed formula below:
Personalized Playing Style = Tone + Choice of Playing Notes +
Groove + Techniques +Style of Music + X-factor"
Who knows? Melvin's book could possibly be the Holy Grail of guitar
playing to somebody. I hope it is for some kid.
Here's my advice to anyone who reads this and actually wants to put these
concepts into practice:
