Review
I love Francesco’s playing so much! He is a phenomenal player, great musician, and an awesome person! Everyone that I meet, I tell about Francesco! I’ve already tried to get numerous friends to buy this book hahah. I got this book in hopes to up my technique and I’m already stuck on exercise 3 hah. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to develop or sharpen their chops!
One of the things I really enjoy about the book aside from the cool exercises is that all the examples are given in one key and alternate picked and you are urged to transpose and figure out your own comfortable form of picking them.
That aspect, to me, makes this book really cool and much more than just an exercise book.
As Francesco says in the book
“Virtuosity means that you can play anything that you desire.”

I have many..many..too many guitar books but I got to say this one is unique and has definitely given me new ideas and greater fluidity up and down the fretboard.
