Publisher's Synopsis
The definitive manual for Liberty FLIP partial capos...Partial capo pioneer Harvey Reid presents the results of his nearly 40 years of guitar fingerboard research. After carefully mapping out the musical possibilities of the nearly 20 types of partial capos that have appeared in recent years, Reid decided to create the new Liberty FLIP capos that clamp 6, 5, 4 or 3 strings. The two volumes of this book guide players of all levels through over 100 hidden ways to use these elegant new tools to play new music.A 5-year-old child can easily use a partial capo, but even very skilled players often find the concept confusing. It's surprisingly difficult to figure out the best ways to arrange the capos, and where to put your fingers to get the new music. Reid shows how to access the vast, unknown world of new chords, scale patterns, voicings and resonances that partial capos reveal in your fingerboard. Here are a dizzying number of ideas of how you can use one or more partial capos in standard tuning, plus a much deeper level where you combine them with altered tunings. You'll instantly have a flood of new ways to play familiar chords, fresh fingerings of common chords, plus a startling number of totally new voicings and resonances that have never been available to guitarists.Like all Reid's guitar books, this one is overflowing with chords, photos, diagrams, helpful advice, clear explanations and guitar strategy. Reid shows you, as only he can, how to find the music in this mysterious landscape of fresh musical ideas.
