25 Blues Scale Licks for Blues Guitar

25 Blues Scale Licks for Blues Guitar

25 Blues Scale Licks for Blues Guitar (English Edition)

This book contains 25 new and original minor blues guitar licks. There are 5 licks for each of the 5 blues scale shapes shown below.

Also in this book there is a great section on how to practice these lines so they naturally incorporate into your playing.

This book came out of a need to develop great blues playing in many of my 40+ weekly private guitar students. Every line in this book has been tried and tested on private students who pay many multiples of the cost of this book. It’s all ‘good stuff’ and every line contained in these pages will teach you something about a different area of the guitar neck whilst teaching you some great lines to play.

Whether you play rock, jazz, or metal, blues is the root of all modern music so a fundamental understanding of its vocabulary is essential.

Alex Pfeffer TITAN KONTAKT

The entire focus of TITAN is to give you the probably most massive sustained guitar power chords you have ever experienced.

The usual process to record huge and broad guitars is to record the same guitar twice and pan one signal to the left and the other one to the right.

We went a step further and recorded the same note not just twice with one guitar, also not four times with two different guitars, but six times with three different pre-amped guitars!

As if this wouldn’t be enough we processed and layered the final signal with a special 12 voice self-made sauce patch from the one and only Dave Smith Prophet 12!

Last but not least, that whole set was processed with three different virtual guitar distortion amp setups, providing you with a variety of distorted power chord sounds from low C1 to Eb2:

– The Dragon
– The Beast
– The Behemoth

Alex Pfeffer The Pyxis Resonations KONTAKT

The Pyxis Resonations or in other words dreamy guitar pads.

Inside Pyxis Resonations you may find the patch names confusing at first, but it is pretty logic.

The patch 1573 simply means that you hear (in that order) the root, the fifth, the (major) seventh and a major third. So in the key of C this would be a Cmaj7 chord (C, G, B, E)
The patch 1+5b7b3 is the root, the raised fifth, the seventh and the minor third.
The chord would be a Cmin7#5 (C, G#, Bb, Eb)

Rubicon Granular Synthesis [Astra Presets]

Rubicon Granular Synthesis [Astra Presets]

Among the contemporary and experimental approaches to sound design, granular synthesis operates on the principles of sampling, but breaks these samples into small pieces called grains as the building blocks for a synthesized voice. Exploring the myriad possibilities of granular synthesis using Astra’s granular oscillator, this collection of presets ranges from ambient atmospheres to otherworldly leads and textures. The presets in FM Landscapes were designed by Visible Cloaks, Minor Science, Anthony Naples, Eams and Tristan Arp.

Rubicon is an experimental sound design label that encompasses non-traditional sample packs from ambient and left-field bass to the unclassifiable. Exploring a curiosity for new sonic forms, the label strives to present producers with otherworldly and earthly abstractions alike.

RITUAL // Techno Sample Pack WAV

RITUAL // Techno Sample Pack WAV

RITUAL // Techno Sample Pack WAV

‘RITUAL’ is our new sample pack that unleashes the finest and the most mysterious there is in techno.

Techno is the space where industry meets spirit. It is a vision of the genre that we want you to get right – techno is not just about 4/4 kicks and loads of screechy metallic bits on top of them. It’s a bizarre ritual that blows your head off, summoning forces long since forgotten, and yet so vaguely & unmistakably familiar to our souls.

‘Ritual’ is a collection of sounds crafted with one goal in mind – to allow you to take the listener on an enticing journey through dark, unexplored depths of techno: the music we love for its poise, its spirit, and its cast-iron core.

Inside this collection, you will find atmospheres of abandoned warehouses, drum patterns of malfunctioning machinery parts, synth lines resonating in the desolate industrial halls and background noises of broken power supplies. With ‘Ritual’ you’re going to get a chance to breathe life into those sullen, dismal areas, transmitting the spirit of eternity through hordes of sweating bodies, raving, obliviously, to the everlasting beat of techno.

If you think you’re ready for that – then GS welcomes you to a procession that only happens once in a lifetime.
