Truefire Marty Friedman's The Art of Soloing: Fresh Concepts [TUTORiAL]

Embrace Unorthodox Creative Approaches
Marty Friedman's groundbreaking 3-volume masterclass series, The Art of Soloing, immerses guitarists in a revolutionary learning experience focused intensely on cultivating their unique originality and own artistic identity. It is a lexicon of information not available anywhere else.

"Where most guitar courses are primarily focused on technique and theory, basically 'how to play stuff,' 'The Art of Soloing' offers an entirely new and refreshing focus on the oft-neglected artistry fundamental to music, by showing how to find your own personal options to everything played. Learning the finest details of this never-before explained facet of Marty's playing will captivate and inspire you.”

The “Fresh Concepts” edition introduces you to a collection of unconventional yet sophisticated creative tools and concepts specifically designed to spark originality when composing a solo or improvising. This is key for developing a unique musical voice.

”In this edition, we'll focus on many of the unorthodox creative approaches often found in my own solos. I'll show you exactly what I played in great detail, but ALL of these 'fresh concepts' will also work for you in anything you play, whatever genre or style of music you play.

We'll cover concepts and approaches for front-loading a solo, exiting the solo in a way that leaves your mark on the song, getting off the 'grid,' how life experiences equal feeling, why just playing in an acceptable key or mode are not enough, and my personal favorite key mods and key mod connectors.”

Marty explains each approach in microscopic detail, and demonstrates their application across a series of 13 soloing studies to clearly illustrate their creative impact in a relevant musical context.
