As in his previous DVD, Ernie patiently and thoroughly provides drills, exercises, practice tips and the basic theory necessary to help you understand the principles behind this important system. You'll see how licks can be transposed from one key to another, how to link chords with harmonized passing tones, how major and minor arpeggios help you find notes everywhere on the neck, and how all the notes, intervals and chords work together to form a complete musical picture. Whether you're playing blues, folk, jazz or rock, this "magic key" to the fingerboard will give you the security and confidence to branch out into any musical genre that interests you!
