Dear
Fellow Guitarist,
I have a "proven
formula" that allowed me to create and perform the music on my own
critically acclaimed instrumental guitar CD "Living Digits"...
And
I Want To Share That Formula With You.
If you're interested in
playing all the right notes all the time, every time ... then this is
going to be the coolest message you ever read.
Why? This easy-to-use guitar method called
Powerful Modal Theory and
Soloing
covers everything you need to know about
understanding music
theory applied directly to the guitar as well as mastering
diatonic scales over the entire fretboard.
I want to save you a ton of time by
clearing your mind of all the misunderstood clutter about music theory
and guitar modes. TODAY!
You probably know bits and pieces of songs, famous leads here and
there...but do you know WHY it sounds good and most importantly, HOW to ad-lib by
playing your own licks along with the song... everywhere on the fretboard...
without hitting a wrong note?
After learning and applying this information,
you're able
to "think for yourself" on the guitar.
If you're looking to enhance your approach to soloing as
well as further develop your own style, then I guarantee you'll benefit from
this comprehensive home study course.

Here Are Just A Few
Remarkable Success Stories
From Other Guitarists
"This Is The Best
Instructional Product I Have Ever Purchased"
"Hello Will,
I signed up for your brain share. I also purchased your
Modal Theory Interactive Clinic. This is the best
instructional product I have ever purchased. I have
books, videos, CDs. Yours is the best. I have been
playing for around 20 years. I took theory about 12
years ago. I needed a refresher. I thought about lessons
again until I found your product. It has been a big
help. Three weeks ago, I was playing the same three
scales I have been playing since I was 16. I used the
extended minor pentatonic and the Aeolian. I used bits
and pieces of other things here and there. But going
back and reviewing the modes has me playing all over the
neck.
It has helped me connect a lot of the bits and pieces
that I knew. Thank you so much!"

"A
More Natural Way To Learn Fretboard Activity"
"The content of
"Powerful Modal Theory and Soloing" is excellent. I also
thought both the camera work and screen layout are quite special and unique. It also includes jam sessions in
various keys/modes so you can apply the soloing techniques
to the instructor’s accompaniment. Very cool. The videos are filmed from
over-the-shoulder of the instructor - in essence the same
view you see when you look down at your own guitar fretboard. I immediately found that this
over-the-shoulder filming technique made it easier to follow
and learn the instructor's left-hand fingerings. It is
simply a more natural way to learn fretboard activity."

"The Most Concise, Clear, Intuitive and
Affordable Set of Guitar Lessons I Found (and I
was looking for a lot)"
"Considering myself as a permanent and
night-practicing "beginner guitarist" (due to my
40's mid-age, daughters, wife, 8-5 job, dog,
etc...), the "Powerful Modal Theory and Soloing"
Guitar Clinic is for me, the most concise,
clear, intuitive and affordable set of guitar
lessons I found (and I was looking for a lot).
It mixes balanced content for both theory and
practicing guidance. I
am sure that being some kind of Will Landrum or
Steve Vai will be for some of my future
reincarnations, but this clinic is helping me a
lot. Thanks so much Will."

"I Am A Better Guitarist"
"Will,
I haven't played in about twenty years and a lot
of the more modern styles were unknown to me. By
applying the lessons learned from your
"Interactive Guitar Clinics", I hooked into some
of the styles that I had missed over the years. These lessons also helped me to enhance my
style of playing and (I feel) I am a better
guitarist for it. Keep up the fine work."

With Lots Of New Ideas"
"I
started playing guitar when I was 10 years old!
Now, at 54, I am still playing in rock bands

with lots of new ideas. An
'OLD DOG' can learn new tricks after all! GREAT LEARNING TOOL!! Thanks!"

Lessons Are About As Straight-Forward As

"Your Lessons Help Any Guitarist Step Out From
A Mundane Lead Style"
"Will,
I return to your over the shoulder video
technique whenever I'm stuck. I
also enjoy your playing technique and can jam
along with your CD. With a lot of practice, your lessons help
any guitarist step out from behind a mundane
lead style and at the very least, see the
possibilities."

"I've Never Made This Much Significant Progress
In My Playing So Quickly"
"Your
over the shoulder visualization technique
is the most innovative breakthrough in guitar
instruction since tablature itself. The lessons
are so easy to follow because the home study course is so
well organized and brilliantly presented. I've never made this much significant progress
in my playing so quickly.
Thanks, Will!"

Set Your
Creativity Machine In Motion
I reveal
my EASY secret formula for understanding the guitar modes. After we've covered every
essential modal scale pattern in the videos, we move on to
"Understanding The Modes".
The great thing about this
section is that I teach you an EASY way to understand this stuff!
Listen, I'm lazy! When I was
first introduced to the modes, I was confused big time!
But when
I discovered another way to
approach it...a much easier way...my playing and songwriting
came together and all the fog lifted!
I explain this same easy
method to you in this clinic.
Jam
Along With Any Song
By Understanding Exactly What To Play And When To Play It
I unveil my
FAST modal recognition
technique. This section teaches several
quick ways to determine what mode a chord progression is in and
thus, what scale you need to use in soloing over that progression.
Skyrocket Your Improvisational And Songwriting Skills!
Here's Proof
That You've Got It!
I
test your knowledge. I've created
ten challenging modal theory
chord progression test questions for you to answer by
determining what mode the chords belong to.
Did you know that sometimes there's
more than 1 correct answer? That means more than 1 possibility for
correct key selection!
Chord Construction Mysteries Unveiled
You
discover how
chords are built...like what makes a minor chord
minor?...and a major 9th chord a major 9th?...or a 13th chord a
13th?
Your Lead Playing Takes A Quantum Leap!
I
fill you in on
how to apply modal theory to
your soloing.
In this section, I explain various approaches to soloing that I take
based on modal theory. That IS the reason for knowing
this stuff right? To help
propel your soloing knowledge to a world class level!
10
Full Band Jam Tracks Reveal Your Creativity
You
and I get to jam using
10 all original modal jam
tracks!
I've composed and recorded
ten, full band, original chord progression loops representing all of
the modes.
I play the rhythm guitar (drums
and bass are there too!) and you play your leads!
This stuff is NOT meant to be played on tiny PC speakers! :-) Five
of the loops are non-distortion rhythm guitar and the other five are
hard and heavy. Again, these are ten unique loops, not the same five
done two different ways!
This is where all your
knowledge of the clinic gets put to the ultimate test...in actual
jamming!
Heck, when I was finished recording these loops, I realized how much
I liked jamming to them myself helping me stay sharp!
"Powerful Modal Theory and Soloing was the first
piece of information on soloing that I ever
owned and is still the best I've ever had."
"It
gave me a foundational understanding that I've
been able to build on every day since I first
learned it."

"These
clinics have opened up a lot for me in the
soloing area."
"I
used to sit back and play only rhythm sections
and idolize the lead guitarists and now I've
been able to play a lot more complicated pieces
with ease and speed too. Thanks Will!"

"Living Digits"!

other players . It truly is possible, but you need to know how
to get there.
As You Can Tell...
It's Not Like Any
Other Guitar Method
You've Ever Seen
Why?
Well, every section in the
course is
there because "you asked for it." Well, not "you" really. But from real
live questions. Questions from my students who continually fall into that
infamous "playing rut". They
tell me that they get in a rut, learn a new lick, get into a rut again,
learn a new song, fall back into the rut...and they just keep repeating
that terrible cycle. So I set up a simple webpage, and
people like you visited and left me their most pressing question on
how
to get out of the "playing rut"
FOREVER. Then I answered them... just the
real answers you want to know.
Wait!... There's A LOT More!

This is also one of
my favorite riffs. I came up with
this one after learning sweeping
arpeggios. I wanted a riff that was
arpeggio-based but not sweep picked.
At first, you may have a tendency to
emphasize the fretted notes. (I did
at least when I was composing it.)
The emphasis (downbeat) is on the
open string notes. This is one of
those riffs where you have to just
play it over and over until you
don't need to think about it...you
just play it. The notes are followed
by the C and B power chords. Then
quickly into the Em7 barre chord at
the 7th fret, and finalized by the D
and E power chords.

A Copy Of My Critically Acclaimed Guitar Instrumental CD "Living
Digits"
(please don't tell iTunes or Amazon about this
because they might get ticked at me!)
Listen,
I want you to have my CD to inspire you!
Remember, 100% of
the compositional skills you hear on this album is a direct result from
knowing what I teach you in
Powerful Modal Theory and Soloing.
I've
had some really good press with this release. Check out this
review that's all over the web.
Have you
ever heard of the term melodic shredding? I cannot say that
I have but I have someone here that does it, and very well.
His name is Will Landrum. And let me add that there is much
more to his sound than that one frame of reference.
On Living Digits,
Landrum shows why he can call himself the Guitar
Consultant and back it up. By the way, he offers
CD-ROMs and optional downloads with several types of guitar
lessons on his site.
The
Living Digits CD is a testimonial for a life long love
affair with the six-string and getting the optimal sound and
enjoyment from his instrument. Landrum likes the feel of the
moment when he plays, the raw spontaneity of cutting loose
on the guitar and letting those creative juices flow. I
could have realized that by listening to the music the first
time around but I got it right from the horse’s mouth as
they say, via some lengthy e-mail conversations. I learned
quite a bit about this artist, which made my listening
experience much more enriching.
As I write this tonight, I
am listening for the fourth time and loving every minute of
it.
Landrum
offers eight instrumental rockin’ tracks that reflect life
long influences and a straight ahead playing style that does
not compromise the strong sense of commitment to his craft
nor does it strive for perfection.
I simply cannot pick a
favorite on this CD; I loved every track. As Will takes you
on a guided tour of the six-string and all of its sounds and
subtleties, each individual composition fully develops and
unfolds while you listen. To say this dude rocks is putting
it mildly.
When you
look at this recording in retrospect, what you get is a
solid dose of classic rock, metal, and blues all wrapped
into one tight package. Landrum sites Deep Purple and
Ritchie Blackmore as a major influence and you can hear that
loud and clear, particularly on the track “Fill
In The ___.”
The following track is the closer “Perfection Of The Bride,”
it is a beautiful acoustic composition and actually the only
non-electric track on the album. It is something that
Blackmore would play with his current band Blackmore’s
Night, one of my favorite recording artists.
It seems fitting
that the album winds down with a nice acoustic number after
he boggles your mind with incredible six-string virtuosity
and technical expertise in tracks 1-7.
If you have any
doubt whatsoever regarding this man’s validity to offer
lessons, listen to this CD, and any doubt that you have will
be put to rest after you hear the opening track
“Change Your Mind.” Interesting that the title is such, I
just realized what a perfect segue that was after writing
the sentence! It only seems appropriate that I end the
review that way as Will Landrum has the same style; some of
the best things in life are not premeditated, so just grab
yer ass and hang on, I guarantee one helluva ride!
MP3 Extended Jam Tracks
for "Powerful Modal Theory and Soloing"
I had a suggestion from one of my students
to make the jam tracks in "Powerful Modal Theory and Soloing" be a
little bit longer in length.
You want it, you got it!
I've taken the jam tracks and extended the time out to 3 minutes each.
Ten jam tracks times three minutes... that's
30 total minutes of jam tracks!

These Guitar Clinics Save You A Ton Of Time And
Money
I've
taught everything contained in these guitar courses to my private students
over the years. That includes writing everything down on their time, demonstrating the
scales and licks on their time, drawing the diagrams on their
time, explaining the theory on their time, creating and giving them
homework on their time, giving them tests on their time,
grading their tests on their time, engaging in practice jams
on their time, etc. I think you see my point.
On the average it took about 16 private lessons to
teach all this material. Also, my credentials easily validate my hourly
rate of $90 per hour. Ok...I'll
do the math for you, that's $1,440 in private lessons.
But...as a result of applying these techniques, those
students now think for themselves on guitar which is
knowledge that they have and use
for the rest of their lives.
Hey, you're more than welcome to come to my studio
to learn all this one on one with me privately at $90 an hour but I thought
I'd save you a ton of time and money wrapping it all up into
convenient home study courses that you can
refer to anytime you wish.
Everything is explained in PLAIN English... which means
they're easy to read and understand.
"If
you want to learn how to play guitar, you need
the knowledge and you need it presented in a way
that you can quickly visualize as well as hear
what you are learning."
"Will's
method of conveying that information is the best
I've seen via his Interactive Video Clinics."

Should I Order CDs Or
Download?
These courses are
available on physical CDs or as a digital download. There are pros and
cons for each that I want you to be aware of to help you decide. Since I
recommend the CDs, I'll start with the cons of the download version.
The cons for the download version are... they are big files... up to
80mb in fact, because of all the video. You must have a high speed
Internet connection to download these files successfully. If you have
dial-up and you let it download over night, chances are that something
will go wrong during the few hours it takes to download and you'll have
to make several attempts until it works correctly. File corruption is
the number one culprit. Once the courses are successfully downloaded to
your computer, they need to be installed. (very simple though). Also,
the download versions are password protected. You have to be sure that
you never lose the password if you ever want to re-install the courses.
For that matter, you also need to be sure that you never lose the setup
files. I encourage students to burn them to a CD for safe keeping in
case of hard drive failure or getting a new computer.
The pros for the download versions are that it is pretty much instant
gratification *IF* you have the high speed connection. Also no shipping
charges!
The cons for the CDs are pretty much having to wait a few business days
to receive the package in the mail and paying a little extra for the
shipping.
The pros for the CDs are that there is no
installation process, no passwords to lose and no setup files to keep
track of. You just insert the CDs into your computer's CDrom drive and
the courses begin automatically. Easy.
Both work great, but I recommend the CDs because they are easier.
