Learn Guitar Quick

This guy has the biggest hair (outside of Johnny Bravo) that I have ever seen.

But, if you want an enlightening, informative and surprisingly technical explaination of one of America’s classic iconic guitars, watch this VDO that I happend to find on YouTube. (Love that YouTube). You can learn practically anything there.

There it is – two of my favorites: Gibson and YouTube. (Not really crazy about the hair).

Shread Academy instructor Roo gives us a sweep picking pattern to learn and practice. This execise is unique in that it shows us sweep picking in its purest form – six notes on the downstroke and six on the upstroke with no hammer-ons or pull-offs. See the video below to learn this exercise…

Here’s Rob again with Part Two. More exercises and applications…

Rob Chappers again. A good explaination of economy picking with some expercises to get your chops up to speed…

A continuation from last time – presenting the remaining modes. Great video!

Here’s another way at looking at modes. I’ve discussed this before, as something I’ve heard Joe Satrianni recomend – practice modes over a pedal tone.

Dean calls them warm-ups, but they’re really great technique and speed-builder exercises too.
Note the great tip which tends to get overlooked by many students: always use a metronome!

Try these. Start out slow and build…

Have you ever complained because your picking hand just didn’t work right? Or you just couldn’t find the right pick? The .60 was too thick but the .50 was too flimsy and what you really needed was a .57 – but who makes that? And it’s just too hard to do string-skipping or alternate picking or flutter picking, or the sun was in your eyes, dog ate your homework… or… or… or…

Well, we’ve all run out of excuses. Watch this video. Then… get to work. Get the right tools, the right knowledge and practice, practice, PRATICE. The rest is JUST EXCUSES.

Nice job Marc!!!

DON’T LET LACK OF KNOWLEDGE BE YOUR FLIMSY EXCUSE…

Bone up on your scales and learn your fretboard!!!

Once again, this type of playing comes from intimate knowledge of the fretboard and your scales.

Want to play like this? You have to know your scales!!!

Thought we’d try a couple days of jazz. Pretty cool jam session with Rick Graham and Tom Quayle. They make it look soooo effortless. That’s what comes from really knowing your fretboard and your scales inside out…
