Book excerpt: Crosspicking technique on guitar is similar to bluegrass banjo, filling in all of the spaces between melody notes with a steady stream of harmony notes. With applied crosspicking technique, the guitar becomes a forceful solo instrument capable of filling a room with colorfully supported melodies. Not only does the guitar support itself, but crosspicking technique also works effectively for supporting other lead instruments and vocals in many styles of music including classical, rock, country, bluegrass, jazz, and new age. The methodology section of this eBook offers the intermediate to advanced guitarist many new ideas which can be added to their arsenal. Thebook also includes a full songbook section with an evenwider repertoire to pursue. All of the lessons and songs are written in tablature only, so you don't have to read music, just count!
