Don, your books have gotten me further in
music theory
than any other book, software and video, and I
have complete bookshelves just for these music media....
You've given me a
large appetite for learning music theory and
different ways of learning that are so easy even
my daughter of 11 can grasp the concepts.
I'm a big believer in the Hanon exercises for piano, and had never considered applying them to guitar. After playing for 20 years, this book quickly took my playing to another level technically.
I use it on tour before every show...it's great for warming up when time is limited.
Use a metronome and take it slowly at first, and you will get great results.

Imagine picking up your guitar today and playing effortlessly.
You play any song you want perfectly, every time.
You play jaw-dropping lick after jaw-dropping lick.
How Do YOU Get There?
It's all about what you practice. To become a great guitarist you must devote
practice time to scales and technique development.
But Let's Face it...
Practicing Scales Up and Down is About as Exciting as Watching Grass Grow!
Practicing scales the same old way is boring.
Yes, you can improve your technique (at a snails pace) by playing scales forwards and backwards, but you can only improve up to a point.
So What's the Most Effective Way to Practice Scales and Quickly Improve Your Technique Without Falling Asleep?
To get good or great improvements in your playing you need to practice scales using powerfulmelodic patterns.
To get the results you want, you must also use proventechnique exercises.
For more than a hundred years, the Hanon Studies
have been a staple in
technique development for the pianist.
But, Wait A Minute...
There's a Huge Difference Between Guitar and Piano...
So Why Should You Even Consider Investing Your Time Playing
Piano Exercises on the Guitar?
Yes, there's a huge difference between the guitar and piano. When you play these exercises on guitar you use different finger combinations than originally prescribed in the Hanon Studies.
But that's OK. In fact, you'll find the Hanon Studies will give you an amazing guitar workout!
The Hanon Studies were not originally written for the guitar, but when you properly adapt them to the guitar
...
Lookout—you get some incredibly powerful technique builders.
Here's the Really Great Part...
These exercises will give you such a great
workout that you only need to practice 1-2 each week.
That's
right. I'm not kidding!
You only need to practice one or two Hanon Studies each week to
feel and hear measurable improvements in your playing.
The rest of your practice
time can be spent on whatever you want.
The Magic Number is...
There are actually a total of 60 Hanon
Studies.
Now I can guess what you're probably thinking:
"Don you've
got to be crazy! There's no way I am going to work through all 60 exercises
—I just don't have the time"
Well, here's the great part: What I've done is made
it real easy for you...
I've
narrowed the 60 Hanon Studies down to the 27 most effective for
guitar. These Top 27 Hanon Studies for Guitar are shown in standard
notation and easy-to-read tab.
The Top 27 Hanon Studies are set up so that you start with the easiest and progress to the most challenging.
And I've Made it Even Easier...Kind of Like Paint-by-Numbers
To make it much easier to learn the Hanon
Studies, the first section of the book shows you the most common scale
fingerings. Once you're familiar with the scale fingerings, all you do is learn the order that you use these notes in each Hanon Study and...
Presto—you're playing the Hanon Studies and improving your technique.
You'll Learn How to Easily Play the Hanon Studies in Every Key
With your new scale knowledge, you can take
any of the Hanon Studies and easily play them in any key.
This know-how will also make it easy for you to apply any melodic pattern to any key.
This is very
powerful.
Add Spice to Your Solos
The Hanon Studies sound really cool on guitar! In fact, I'm sure you'll end up using bits and pieces of them in your guitar solos. It will really add some freshness and variety to your
playing.
Break-Free from Pentatonic and Major/Minor
Scale Monotony!
Apply the melodic patterns you'll learn in Mega
Chops and you can't help but break-free from pentatonic and
major/minor scale pattern drudgery.
The Secrets to Improving Your Technique
In Mega Chops you will also find 44
proven technique exercises for massive chops. These exercises are a
great way to warm-up at the start of your practice session. You
certainly won't need to play all 44 exercises to warm-up. Depending on
your skill level you can use 1, 2, or more each week.
Who Am I and Why Should You
Listen to Me?
I have taught music for over 25 years,
have taken years of private guitar lessons, earned my degree in music,
authored more than 50 books (just do a book search on Amazon with the
keywords "Don J. MacLean" and you'll see some of my books, played with too many bands to remember, and taught numerous master
classes and workshops.
I've
always been fascinated by how we learn music, so I also completed a degree
in psychology and did some graduate studies in neuroscience as well.With all of this intensive studying and practicing, I have
discovered some little known secrets
that will save you massiveamounts oftime and
give you results you never thought possible.
In other words, I've spent
most of my life learning and performing music and learning the best ways to teach it. I've got students in 49 countries worldwide that are using my courses
to advance their playing.
Mega Chops: Scale Mastery Beyond Hanonis designed for the intermediate to advanced guitarist. It's also great for professional players too.
