Book Cover:

Guitar Aerobics: A 52-Week, One-lick-per-day Workout Program for Developing, Improving and Maintaining Guitar Technique by Troy Nelson is a book with a clear goal: help you improve your guitar skills by using planned out exercises.

There are 365 exercises in total which means for a full year you learn a new exercise/lick every day. The licks gradually increase in difficulty to constantly push your abilities to higher levels. Each lick is displayed in Guitar TAB and standard notation with a brief explanation (there is a guitar TAB reference chart at the back of the book).

CD provides examples of all 365 licks so you can hear what they should sound like.

The licks cover six broad musical styles: rock, blues, jazz, metal, country and funk. Even if you’re only interested in one or two styles, it’s definitely worth covering the licks in other styles as they will improve your techniques in different ways.

Every day of the week follows a pattern to focus on specific techniques. The seven main categories of licks are: Alternate picking, String skipping, String bending, Arpeggios, Sweep picking, Legato and Rhythm. This predictable pattern makes it easy to follow the program as you will know what to expect every day (eg: string bending on Wednesday).
