Pocket Book Vol.10 – Dominant Diminished Hot Licks 2
In this book you’ll find 30 dominant diminished lines, carefully selected to further expand your improvisational vocabulary over dominant 7th chords. But more than that, this will help you achieve better fluency when improvising.
How many times have you spent hours studying the things you transcribe, only to struggle to play them with fluency and accuracy? Studying the notes is only part of the process: the way you coordinate your picking and fingering also makes a difference.
Explore arpeggios, triads, chromatic movement, diminished sounds, and the colors of the b9, #9, and #11. Apply these ideas over G7 and its symmetrical dominant family — Bb7, Db7, and E7 — to bring tension, movement, and resolution to your playing.
In this book each line contains carefully planned picking and fingering choices to help you play with greater precision, speed, articulation, and fluency. The connection between these two techniques — picking and fingering — is essential for expressing yourself with freedom and clarity.
These lines are part of a practical study system developed by Peter Farrell from over 35 years of experience playing and studying the guitar, including 20 years of private lessons with George Benson. The material reflects decades of research, practice, and real musical application, bringing together ideas designed to help guitarists develop fluency and phrasing control.
All examples are presented with:
• Standard musical notation
• Guitar TAB
• Detailed fingering indications
• Picking directions
• Audio files for listening and practice
Your purchase includes the 21-page PDF and 30 MP3 audio examples for listening and practice. Listen, study the notation and tablature, and practice each phrase at your own pace.
