Right Hand Development for Jazz Guitar

English |Pdf| 2MB |
Renard Hoover’s book focuses solely on Right Hand development through the use of open string exercises. If these types of exercises bore you then don’t need this book. However if you want simple exercises that will increase your right hand strength, agility, precision and speed then this is the book for you. The studies in this book do wonders – even the ones in the first few pages. For added precision try them using the Stylus Pick. This book is so devoted to the right hand, all the exercises are played on open strings, so the left hand does nothing, period.
The material contained in this book is the result of countless hours of playing, observation, and teaching. The concept evolved while studying classical guitar and I began to realize that the immense musical and technical demands placed on the right hand in classic guitar were, generally, ignored in modern methods for pick-style guitar. These modern methods assume the right hand will automatically follow the left in the curse of its development. Many of my own students musical and technical problems were directly related to the inability to execute the right hand properly.
