SELF-CONTAINED GUITAR / BARITONIC GUITAR

Hello there.

I'm Alex Gordon and I've developed my own approach to playing solo guitar that I call:

Self-Contained Guitar is exactly what it sounds like - a method of playing the guitar that doesn't require any other instruments for support or accompaniment AND it doesn't use any newfangled loop pedals or canned backing tracks either!  You can learn how to play chords, melodies, bass lines, and percussion parts all at the same time, on one single guitar,

LIVE and in the moment.

 

Whether you’re a professional guitarist looking to find more work as a solo act or a casual guitarist who simply wants to have fun playing solo arrangements, Self-Contained Guitar 

is for you!  The most important aspect of Self-Contained Guitar is self-sufficiency. 

You can learn to rely solely on yourself to create the type of solo guitar music

that you want to make.  

The Self-Contained Guitar lesson series is currently in production

and will cover such essential solo guitar topics as:

notes on the fretboard

the major scale

chords and arpeggios

bass lines

right and left hand proficiency

percussive techniques 

And much, much more!

Baritonic Guitar is essentially the same as Self-Contained Guitar, however, it uses a baritone guitar for study.  A baritone guitar is longer in scale (anywhere from 27" to 30" in scale length) than a regular guitar and so it naturally lends itself to a wonderfully deeper overall sound.  Baritonic Guitar, as I implement and teach it, employs a B-E-A-D-F#-B tuning and therefore has a completely different fretboard map than the Self-Contained Guitar modules.  

No matter which course you choose, you can become an accomplished solo guitarist with a comprehensive and rewarding knowledge of the instrument. So whether you study Self-Contained Guitar or Baritonic Guitar

you WILL be a musical force to be reckoned with, indeed!
