The key to mastery rests on our understanding of principles.
For instance, if you want to develop speed, you must understand what goes into creating that speed.
It’s not how you hold your hand, or how you execute a move that gives you speed, but what elements in your technique that will produce the speed for you.
And that’s what I mean by principles.
The AOV is essentially a book of principles on how to achieve virtuosity.
It introduces the fundamentals that must be in place before you can achieve virtuosity.
For instance, think about the conditions in your hand when you play.
Are you tight, loose, heavy, light? And how about your movements? Are they smooth or are you moving in jerky motions?
When you put your playing under the microscope, you’ll realize that there’re only a few ways we can play. And among those ways, there’s only one way that will produce optimal results for you.
That’s basically the purpose of the AOV.
It’s essentially a guide on what those optimal conditions are and what you can do to create those conditions by understanding the basic principles of virtuosity.
There’re two parts to the book.
The first part outlines the key principles of virtuosity, the basic building blocks.
The second part explains how they work to help you produce effortless speed, power and precision, using what I call ‘virtuoso reality principles.’
The AOV has received praise from professionals and players alike. Here’re some of their comments:
I am confident you will find the book useful. If you feel you did not learn a single useful concept from it, I will offer a full refund within 60 days.
The Art of Virtuosity is not a guitar technique book. I have written a second book that is devoted specifically to the classical guitar. Please click on this link to read more.
