Guitar Solo Guitar Textbook[edit]

Guitar Solo is the world's largest and most comprehensive guitar instructional book for solo guitar playing.[1]. It is listed in the German National Library catalog[2].

Description[edit]

The book is published since June 2022 in second edition as Guitar Solo 2.0 by Cosmic Energy Movement Publishing (short: CEM Publishing). The book contains more than 1,100 pages, with text making up only about 1% of the book's content, the remaining approximately 99% consisting of notes and tabs, as well as descriptive graphics. At the end of the book, many of the graphics explained in detail in the book content are shown again in color print for cutting out, providing an additional learning aid. A special feature is the modular structure, which allows you to combine all the notes and licks in the entire book once you have decided on a key. This results in a treasure trove of possibilities for creatively shaping one's own guitar solo. Printed on picture printing paper, the work is thread-stitched and hardcover bound.[3]

Content[edit]

Guitarsolo covers topics that are significant for guitar solo playing. The text parts are written in both German and English, as it was produced for an international market. The book is suitable for beginners and advanced players. The content ranges from music theory to power chords, pentatonics, diatonics and a comprehensive chapter on arpeggios, among others.

Michael Angelo Batio (MAB) had said of the first edition in a video[4], "This is the most comprehensive book on guitar that has ever been written.," and he continues, "This book it is literally THE ONE book that you can have that would be the dictionary of modern guitar." In his foreword for the second edition Guitar Solo 2.0, MAB wrote, "It’s one thing to give information, it’s another to make it easily available and usable. That is exactly what the authors of GUITAR SOLO did. [...] If you want the definitive Guitar solo guide and a literal dictionary of Guitar information, this is it! And remember to - Practice, Practice, Practice!" He expands on his remarks in another video[5].

Press[edit]

A review of guitar solo appeared in the German trade magazine Gitarre und Bass in July 2020, capturing the complexity and high standards of the book to conclude by calling it a hero's work.[6]

The U.S. Guitar World magazine wrote an editorial article in 2022[7] and an excellent book review in the May 2022 issue[8]
