The
Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in
the wild for a period of
over
30 years. In 1952, on the island of Koshima , scientists
were providing monkeys
with
sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the
taste of the raw sweet
potatoes,
but they found the dirt unpleasant. An 18-month-old female
named Imo found
she
could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby
stream. She taught
this
trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new
way and they taught their
mothers
too.
This
cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various
monkeys before the eyes
of
the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys
learned to wash the
sandy
sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults
who imitated their
children
learned this social improvement. Other adults kept
eating the dirty sweet potatoes.
Then
something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958,
a certain number of
Koshimam
monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number
is not known.
Let
us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were
99 monkeys on
Koshima
Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let's
further suppose
that
later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash
potatoes.
THEN
IT HAPPENED! By that evening almost everyone in the tribe
was washing sweet
potatoes
before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth
monkey somehow
created
an ideological breakthrough!
But
notice: A most surprising thing observed by these scientists
was that the habit of
washing
sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea...Colonies of
monkeys on other
islands
and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began
washing their
sweet
potatoes. Thus, when a certain critical number achieves
an awareness, this new
awareness
may be communicated from mind to mind.
Although
the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon
means
that
when only a limited number of people know of a new way,
it may remain the
conscious
property of these people. But there is a point at which
if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a
field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked
up by almost everyone!
Guitar
Revelations
_Advanced guitar playing
made easy_ or simply, the way to go to play
all contemporary scales, (covering just about 99% of today's
music), with virtually zero academics. That means this is a no-brainer
it's too easy to use. Because guitar
is a stringed instrument there
are intrinsic, or built-in, shortcuts. We all
have been aware of a few of them, but until now the complete set has
never been published in such a simple
way.
As
guitar players
we want to
play
not study or else we'd be guitar studiers!
An
easy way out? YES it's OK, there is one. The revolutionary
G-Rev
Guitar method .
Guitar
players have already been utilizing this technique
in
part, not fully enjoying all of the benefits.
Now you can have
the complete picture. Of course it's not what you know,
but what you do with what you know that counts. Having
all the scales without needing to retrain your fingers,
plus the accompanying chord progressions on hand is a
definite bonus for the creative guitarist.
There
are very technical explanations for why
Guitar Revelations works, for example like
modal
interchange,
reharmonization
or pitch
axis
and there's a lot of music theory that goes with them
(yawn). But the bottom line is play first, ask questions
later.
You don't have to be an
electronic engineer to
know why the light turns on when you flick the switch,
but never the
less, the room is still illuminated!
The work has already been done for
you; all you have to do is play, be creative, explore,
or simply run up and down the scales root to octave,
octave to root over the associated chord progression and
presto, we're making music.
Once you hear the identities
of the scales, as a musician, you'll instinctively know
where to use them.
If
you're creative, want to stand out from the norm or are
simply a song writer looking for new and fertile grounds
then Guitar Revelations is for you.
Guitar Revelations is
pure
knowledge, no filler, with quick
start applications . Thanks to the Morphin'
Modal Modulator
at any instant you can morph up to fourteen
scales. Expressing yourself with an increased musical
vocabulary.
Here
is a list of all 14 derivations of the Major scale. Yes, you could
learn them in many different ways, perhaps you already
learned some of them with dedicated single purpose finger patterns.
Using
Guitar Revelations
and the included
Modal Modulator
,
you can automatically
transform a simple pentatonic minor
scale, instantly, into all 14
scales,
while staying
on
the same root,
and for all 12 keys! (That's 168 scales in
all!!)
Empowering
options and no new finger patterns to learn, just
Guitar
Revelations .
Based
on the pentatonic minor or Blues scale, this is accessible
even if you're a beginner but even the advanced players will
instantly benefit with a fresh, instant way to play all
the scales and with a
new perspective. Old Licks
become like new,
applying the
G-Rev Modulators
to old fingerpatterns.
If
you want to Jam now ask questions later or are just
ready to Jam right now, Rev it up
with G-Rev
Don't
wait for "The Hundredth Monkey", get a head
start and get G-Rev
before it becomes common
knowledge, it's just way too easy. When only a limited number of people know
of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of
these people . . . but there is a point at which if only
one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is
strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost
everyone! Don't be left behind, for $19.99 There's
a new tune just waiting to be played.
