20 Licks: Poetic Soloing

Bursting with modern, original and fresh new ideas, the 20 exquisite licks in this highly anticipated 2nd release from Mateus Asato will add an element of poetry to your solos that will make them really stand out!

After the sheer amazement we had for Mateus' debut JTC release we didn't think it could get any better, but we were wrong! These licks are jam packed with inspirational new melodic and technical ideas that will help to add a real sense of poetry and musical lyricism to your guitar solos.

From a technical stand point you'll cover lots of bending, hybrid picking, slides, vibrato, alternate picking, string skipping, harmonics, finger rolling, legato and bridge manipulation (whammy bar work, without the bar attached)!

On the theory front there will be lots of chordal ideas, minor pentatonic, dorian, mixolydian, aeolian scales, superimposing triads, pedal notes, double stops, chromatic ideas, wider intervals and incorporating open strings!

You'll also find a highly jammable full backing track to practise and perfect the licks over, or take inspiration from Mateus and craft your own lick ideas!

As ever, we have included everything you need to practise and perfect the material in this package. There are video and audio tracks for you to watch/listen and study, accurately transcribed TAB/notation for you to analyse and master, and backing tracks for everything! We've even included some text notes to help you really get these parts down!

So if you're looking for a way to add new depth, meaning and musical sophistication to your solos, let Mateus give you 20 incredible new ideas that will bring your guitar vocabulary up to the next level!
