Book Description

Video and audio access included! -- Advanced Hybrid Picking Etudes: Volume 2 is a collection of pieces that will allow you to further develop the technique through studies, compositions, lines, and solos. Each etude comes with suggested fingerings using both tablature and standard notation. They mix legato, alternate and sweep picking, but you can also choose to use fingerstyle/classical technique to play them. You can apply all the concepts presented here to your own phrasing, composition, and improvisation. --"Gustavo's new book is the perfect resource for any guitarist interested in improving or widening their abilities with hybrid picking. Where I find most educational material either too dense or too dry, Gustavo has (as always) found the perfect way to present both a clear methodology and a fountain of musically interesting examples and etudes." -PLINI"--These expertly constructed exercises invite you to a contemporary world of structured tonalities, through which you are able to progress and transcend style." - VARDAN OVSEPIAN"-- Gustavo's creative, angular etudes will challenge your mind and your hands in equal measure; attempt to learn them and you'll have your work cut out for you!" - PER NILSSON (Meshuggah, Scar Symmetry)--"Get ready for Gustavo Assis-Brasil's newest and most challenging book on studies using the Hybrid Picking technique. "Advanced Hybrid Picking Etudes" presents valuable studies that will take you to the next level. The material is the most comprehensive ever made on the subject and has detailed applications of all your movements. I highly recommend it." - ISAAC NEGRENE--"In this new book, Gustavo Assis-Brasil presents a lot of material for exploring the mechanics of the guitar musically with the hybrid picking technique and also permutations for the left hand. A progressive approach is presented throughout the course, from preliminary etudes in the beginning, to full-fledged compositions. The pieces also have a sort of algorithmic approach in the transformation of raw permutations into real music. An outstanding resource for music and guitar." - JULIO HERRLEIN
