Consistent practice, along with an understanding of the parts and mechanics of the voice, will help improve vocal flexibility, agility and range. This provides more control, giving you the ability to sing anything you hear. Unlike a conventional instrument, the voice is part of your anatomy and carried at all times. It requires unique care and awareness that other instruments do not. This book is a convenient way to keep helpful reminders and exercises with you on the go. The material includes information on vocal anatomy and the breathing system, safe and healthy techniques, and how to incorporate proper vocal care into your lifestyle. The book also contains essentialvocal warm-ups. Although written in specific keys, the exercises should be transposed to other keys within your range (moving up and down in half steps). Just like stretching and warming up before a rigorous physical workout, it is important to warm up the voice before singing full out.

Mentored by three legendary guitarists, Michael O’Dorn is the living repository of not only the Merle Travis thumbstyle technique, but also the fingerstyle legacies of Chet Atkins and French guitarist, Marcel Dadi. This book contains a discussion of the differences between fingerstyle and thumbstyle technique, plus the most advanced exercises and tunes of any of the author’s three books for Mel Bay Publications — a must-have for any serious fingerstyle guitarist! The book begins with a series of progressive picking patterns with practice points that guide the player through intermediate and advanced licks and techniques. The harmony of each exercise was intentionally left unresolved so that it can be repeated to perfection. Soon, you will be playing O’Dorn’s challenging Travis/Atkins/Dadi-inspired licks and compositions using the left-hand hammer-on, pull-off, and thumb-over techniques, and the right-hand thumb rake and palm mute. While the purpose of this book is to help you establish study habits that enhance your performance abilities, the exercises can also be used as intros, outros or springboards to kickstart your own compositions. At the end, as a payoff for completing the book’s lessons, the author presents three original compositions for player and audience enjoyment. Learn the evolutionary, often unconventional fingerstyle techniques of Travis, Atkins, Dadi, and O’Dorn with Killer Technique®: Fingerstyle Guitar! Includes access to an outstanding online audio recording of the book’s 47 exercises and solos.
