NEW instructional book RELEASED TODAY!

[Guest JackButler]

First off, MUCH thanks to everyone here who has supported "Intelli-Shred" over the past 2-3 years. Word of mouth and referrals from here has played a GIANORMOUS part of that books success.

Got the word minutes ago! Alfred and NGW got 'em in the warehouse! I knew it was coming.. didn't know when until I just got the call!

"ARPEGGIO MADNESS!" The follow up companion to my first book "Intelli-Shred" for NGW (National Guitar Workshop) and Alfred Music Pub/Warner Bros.

Here's the blurb:

Have you ever wondered how your favorite guitarists can play endless streams of notes that always sound like they fit the song? The secret is arpeggios, or "broken" chords that are played one note at a time. Arpeggios can turn simple chord progressions into shred guitar masterpieces. Arpeggio Madness breaks down the art of playing arpeggios and even analyzes the styles of guitarists who incorporate them into their playing, including guitar gods like Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, Randy Rhoads, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, and many others. Learn techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs, tapping, string skipping, and sweep picking, and see how to visualize patterns on the fretboard so you can play arpeggios effortlessly. Designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists, this book increases your speed, fluidity, and fretboard knowledge to help you develop your own personalized arpeggio style. A CD demonstrating the examples in the book is included.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and thank you to those that e-bombed me to let me know they were placing orders.

I'll call Sting and Bono and they'll come down.. we'll all hold hands.. ooooooo.. and we'll do a Christmas album..

sorry.. I've been into to quoting movies all day long today.lol.

[Guest JackButler]

Just wanted to let anyone who is interested know that they have allowed me to purchase 30 copies of both the first book "Intelli-Shred" and the new one "Arpeggio Madness".. if anyone wants one and I'll sign to you or whomever you're giving the book to.

I wasn't going to stock these and have to keep up with the receipts/taxes but I've gotten an e-mails from multiple folks wanting books signed ..lol.. I'm not sure that the signing does anything to add value.. and I'm pretty sure they'd sell a few more if they removed that pic!

You can e-mail me about the price/shipping or whatever you want it to say. Paypal isn't set up yet.. but I'm trying to get it done.. between my credit union having only one gear and the wife's last minute holiday "to do".. well "to do or you're gonna die!" list.. I'm working on it.. but good ole' check or postal m.o. will work.. don't send cash.. she can smell it from miles away!..

I REALLY appreciate all of the kind words and support from all of you.

Much love, Much respect and Merry Christmas.

ps.. those of you that have bought books.. my e-mail, myspace, etc.. is in both books there on the "about the Author" page along with my endorsements, etc.. if you or whoever you've bought the book for ever has any questions, or problems, etc.. in their quest to become a better guitarist or just in getting through the book.. please.. never hesitate to e-mail and I will do whatever I need to do to help you/them. I'm always available and I'll always answer every mail.

Hoping you're feeling great, man! How is it going?

BTW, did you receive my email?

PS: Your PM is full. I'll re-email you.

[Guest JackButler]

Hey Zorrow.. I DID recieve your first mail and replied.. I got the new one.. so I resent a reply this morning with the info you requested.. let me know that you got the reply.. I still have the first mail saved to.

PM's don't work, so e-mailing me is definitely the best.

[Guest JackButler]

Bumping this.. got a few left and some folks were e-mailing about availability.

You can also still order from stores and online vendors as well and its maybe a couple of bucks cheaper.

THANKS EVERYONE!
