It’s jam night. Someone
calls out the inevitable A minor to D9 vamp. You take the first solo and light the
joint up. Now it’s your turn to comp. First couple of
choruses, no problem. Next few, your comp is getting a little tired but
you're hanging in there. Now the soloist
starts to ramp things up
and you’re
plumb out of ideas. Audience gets restless. Soloist glares. Gig is up. Been there? Yup, join the club.
Any instructor will tell you that the vast majority of players suffer from the same malady with respect to
their rhythm playing; a severely limited vocabulary of chords, comping
applications and rhythm patterns. And those stacks of chord books and rhythm
exercises that most of us have stashed somewhere
are
gathering dust for a good reason - they just don't work. What to do? Take a
few trips with Frank Vignola on his Inversion Excursion.
Your Inversion Excursion guide is
Frank Vignola. Frank is one of the most accomplished, multi-dimensional
artists in the biz. Monster player, composer and improviser, Frank’s played
with everyone from Les Paul to Donald Fagen. Frank’s pedigree is a mile long
and a quick Google will illustrate why there’s no one better qualified to
take you on this trip.
Pack smart on your Inversion Excursion with 124 full-length video
guitar lessons covering 62 sets of inversions, across all chord types and
all string groups. 800 PDF pages of charts illustrate all 62 sets, in all 12
keys (see
example chart) providing
a handy reference for over 2,500 Root, 1st inversion, 2nd inversion and 3rd
inversion chords.
Best part of your trip? No ginko
biloba required. Unlike those chord books in the closet, Inversion
Excursion is no dull memorization process. True to TrueFire form,
you
will play your way through this study program building your vocabulary of
chords, patterns and applications in a musical context working
through 59 video lesson performance examples, which demonstrate a wide
variety of rhythm patterns and comping applications for blues, rock, jazz,
twang and everything in between. Study a set of inversions, pick a key, grab
a new pattern and apply over one of the 60 practice rhythm tracks included
with Inversion Excursion. Bingo.
