In this book Gambale explains the concept of Sweep Picking. The best place to get this info is from the man who created the style. This book contains many musical examples and licks and compositions which will help you improve your picking. As Gambale says " I've never met a guitar player who doesn't have a problem with their picking". Sweep Picking builds maximum picking efficiency. It shows you how to sweep and not waste any motion in the picking hand. "Playing fast is easy with Sweeping..........when you get it! So what are you waiting for??". Just listening to Gambale play proves that this technique works. Until Gambale came along, everybody thought the technique was not practical or impossible. Just goes to show you how wrong people can be.

This and part II may be all the music theory you'll ever need to know in a concise, logical and musical order. Gambale breaks music down into 6 basic chord types, minor7, major7, unaltered dominant7, altered dominant7, minor7b5 and diminished. These chord families make up about 95% of music. Over each of these basic chord families, Gambale explores the best scales choice, minor pentatonic and blues scales choices, best arpeggio and triads. Finally intervallic possibilities are discussed. Doing it this way is extremely thorough each time breaking down the scale into smaller fragments ( scale 7 or 8 notes, blues 6 notes, pentatonics 5 notes, arpeggios 4 notes, triads 3 notes and intervals 2 notes. This book and the second half Technique Book Part II should be in every guitarists library. Massively informative.
