11/27 – 11/30 Print Book Sale on Lulu
I’m not a big fan of Black Friday sales in general, but in this case Lulu.com is offering a 4-day sale that benefits the authors there (and benefits myself more specifically as the book cost is taken out on the printer’s end so it doesn’t cut into my revenue).
(The books and descriptions are listed below).
If you go to my Lulu page:
http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/guitarchitecture
today (11/27/15) and enter in SUPERGIVER in the checkout code you’ll get 40% off print editions and 5% off PDF editions.
If you go on Saturday (11/28/15) and enter in SATSAVERS you’ll get 30% off print books.
** Just added on 11/29, Lulu now has two more days onto the sale:
If you go on Sunday (11/29/15) and enter in TWOMOREDAYS you’ll get 30% off print books.
If you go on Monday (11/30/15) and enter in ONEMOREDAY you’ll get 25% off print books.
(As I’ve mentioned before – I make more money from PDFS than from Print editions – but I thinks the print editions are much more helpful to people. For me this is a win-win. You get a print edition at a drastic discount and I still get paid!)
The books that are on sale are:

Symmetrical Twelve Tone Patterns is a 284 page book with a large reference component and about 100 pages of extensive notated examples and instruction.
In “The GuitArchitect’s Guide to Symmetrical Twelve-Tone Patterns”, Scott Collins has taken the approaches from “Melodic Patterns” and “Guide To Chord Scales” books and applied them to a rigorous examination of twelve-tone patterns that can be used for melodic, harmonic, improvisational or compositional resources.
Eschewing a reliance on academic jargon, “Symmetrical Twelve-Tone Patterns” investigates the material in an intuitive and accessible way that will help players access new sounds in their playing.
With this information, you will be able to create a near infinite number of unique riffs and melodic phrases, which you can use individually or combined to compose or improvise your own music.
The GuitArchitect’s Guide to Modes: Melodic Patterns is an invaluable compositional and improvisational resource for both guitarists and bassists.

Non Book News
I’ll have a new post up soon. In other news – we’re just mastering the live KoriSoron recording and then pressing some copies which we hope to have available before the end of the year (we’ll have digital down loads up even sooner!)
As always, thanks for your support. And thanks for reading!
