Here is the link to the eBook and full video: https://payhip.com/pranaskentra The full video is 1 hour and 9 min long and is an addition to the book. The book provides insights and explanations of all the exercises and examples in the full video. The book contains carefully written notes and tabs, including introductory music examples and Jimi’s Sweets solo at the end of this video. The idea of the book is to go deep into one scale and explore various intervallic, motivic and technical possibilities presenting a systematic approach to dealing with intervals, note groupings, rhythms and “guitaristic” possibilities.
