FOREw.ORD The object of this book is to provide the plectrum guitarist with a set of progressiveexerciseswhich may be Practisedat any time and which will rbsult in giving the player completefingerboardknowledge and finger flexibility. The presentday plectrumguitar has beenin generaluse in this country sinceabout1930althoughEddie Lang playedit in the early 1920's. Althoughgreat playerslike Eddie Lang,charlie christianand Django Rheinhardteach had or havetheir own \4'ayof playing which servedtheir own genius,it is necessaryfor the presentday player to haveat hand a collectionof scalesand exercisesto help him improvehis technique. The methodu'ritten by Georgevan Epps someyearsago was the most logical and servedthe more advancedplayer.With the help of this method with someof our own and American leading and after manydiscussions "lvor M a i r a n t sG u i t a r M e t h o d " a n d i n g e n e r a l g u i t a r i s t sI w r o t e t h e h e l p e dt o e s t a b l i s ht h e d o w n a n d u p s t r o k ep l e c t r u mm e t h o dw h i c h i s b e i n g u s e db y a l l t h e l e a d i n gg u i t a r i s t s . Sincethis methodwas publishedI havehad the good fortuneto study with Andri Segovia,Abel carlevarosand other great spanish guitar inteachingat the CentralSchool playersand coupledwith my experience of DanceMusic havebeen able to discoverwhich are the most effective scalesand exercisesto producespeedyand definite results. The contentsof this book, therefore,have comeas the result of much are a collectionof studiesand exercises practiseand book,research,and alsoadaptationsfor plectrumof what is bestand most effective in guitar fingering. I practicetheseexercisesmyselfand althoughEx.1 is onewhichI give to beginners,it is also one which shouldbe part of the guitarist's daily opening or limbering up practice for synchronizingboth hands. s t e a d y p r a c t i c ea t a s p e e dw i t h i n y o u r c a p a b i l i t i e sw i l l i m p r o v ey o u r techniquebeyondrecognition.

24 In order to be able to extemporisefreely, the requircd notes must be found easily anywhere on the guitar. Here thereforeis still another fingering which enablesyou to play chords as chords and as arpeggios employingthe first four strings. For conveniencesake the example is in G, but it may be transposed. o

Besideslearning the chordsbased on the Major Scale it is also necessaryfor the purposeof extemporisationto learn the arpeggios and runs based on the two Minor Scales i.e. the Melodic and Harmonic.

In dealing Yi.th.extensions on major triads it has been found that the seventh is a major interval , and with rninor triadsthe seventh is a minor.interval;uut wittr dominant chords the seventh is always mrnor. For example the dominant chord of c is G and the seventh note built on G is F which is a mrnor seventh from G. We now tabulate the extensions.
