Atomic Rock guides your development of the essential skills needed to succeed in today’s modern rock arena. You’ll learn fretboard navigation concepts and a variety of right and left hand techniques to facilitate easy movement both vertically and horizontally across the neck.

Atomic Rock covers a broad range of modern rock concepts, including Trey’s award-winning “Modern Equivalent.” This course is designed to expose you to the variety of contemporary grooves, rhythmic patterns, techniques, phrasing and theoretical approaches that today’s rock guitarist must master. You’ll work through ballads, up-tempo power grooves and jazz rock styles and also study expressive devices such as legato, tapping, sweep-picking and the use of harmonics to enhance a tune’s melodic structure, avoiding shred for shred’s sake.

Martin explores relationships between traditional open (major and minor) tunings and more modern open tunings in this fun, accessible master class. Martin Simpson’s guitar playing is unsurpassed; he is one of the finest finger pickers and slide pickers of our time and was recently named one of the top artists of the decade by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Winner of 5 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards – two of them in 2008 for Best Original Song and Best Album – an Indie Award for his album Cool and Unusual, and the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Ards Guitar Festival, he is a superb interpreter of traditional music and song from both sides of the Atlantic. In this lesson, Martin looks at various tunings he uses as part of his signature sound and compares them in relation to each other and to standard tuning. He demonstrates commonly used chord forms that work in standard and open tunings. Martin’s take on Open Tunings and how they work is an absolute must for any guitar player! Martin also touches on some of his unique right and left hand techniques while teaching you five of his signature tunes – including traditional and contemporary songs.

Practice does NOT make perfect — “perfect” practice does. We’ve heard this time and again from our instructors and we get it; practice the wrong thing, or practice the wrong way, and you’ll learn how to play it perfectly wrong. Makes “perfect” sense but what exactly do we practice, and how specifically do we practice it? TrueFire’s resident Professor of the Deep, Chris Buono has invested the last couple of decades coming up with the answer.

Over the years of teaching I’ve found that many students struggle with visualizing scale patterns. In this two and a half hour dual layer DVD I cover exercises that I have developed that will help you to see the entire scale matrix in your minds eye or as you look at the fretboard. This will enable you to create patterns that you might not normally play and traverse the fretboard in any direction with virtually no boundaries. If you learn a new pattern you will be able to see the diatonic development superimposed on the scale matrix. This is useful not only in improvisation but composition as well. I also cover common yet essential tools every guitarist should use such as string dampening, motion efficiency, and proper angles for achieving a greater reach. In addition to this I will show you exercises that will help you develop finger independence, speed, accuracy, and endurance. This is a must have for any serious guitarist no matter what style of playing. Over 100 examples and 78 fretboard diagrams are provided as well as backing tracks to help you achieve fretboard domination and get FIT on guitar!
