ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jean Marc Belkadi started playing guitar at age 14. He graduated from the
Toulouse Music Conservatory in his hometown. In 1984,he left France for the
u.s. to learn at the Musicians Institute of Technology in Los Angeles where he
received the Best Guitar of the Year Award.
In 1989 and 1992he was awarded third and second prize at the Billboard Song
Contest. For three years he was musical director of the Johnny Hune TV show.
He has written two guitar method books addressing Jazz, Fusion and Rock
soloists and recorded one solo album.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this book is not to be a guitar method book with a captalIM."
Rather, it is intended as a source of inspiration to help you develop your own
ideas. The three key areas that I focus on and encourage you to explore are:
Melody
In any style of music you are into, the melodic direction, sound, and phrasing
are the first and most important things to consider. For this reason-and to
develop the connection between your ear and fingers-I recommend that you
sing all the lines (slowly at first).
Harmony
All of the lines are performed against a certain chordal background. However,
they can also be used with other chords and will sound different in each context.
I encourage you to experiment by playing them in different chordal contexts using
a tape recorder, a synthesized background, a friend, or whatever you may have
available.
Technique
This book is geared for guitar players and makes use of various techniques that
are unique to the guitar, including alterna te, sweep, and skip picking, hammer-ons,
pull-offs, and tapping. Play the lines very slowly and accurately at first and
gradually speed up. Don't forget that the melody should sound natural to you at
any tempo. The harmony should be implicit, your phrasing clean, and timing
perfect.
Let's begin now! I hope you will enjoy this as much as l do ...
Editor's notes:
Follow the audio icons in the book to keep your spot on the CD.
A short "introductory" solo portion may sometimes precede the main lick of each
figure, to give it a better sense of context. However, only the main lick itself
appears transcribed in each case.
