Fusion Series!! A series covering the basic elements for playing Fusion Rock and also covering the styles of players like Guthrie Govan, Greg Howe, Brett Garsed, Allan Holdworth, Frank Gambale, etc.. would be awesome and you're the man for that! smile.gif

a intermediate-advanced reggae lesson with an emphasis on dub. something in the style of aaron dugan from matisyahu perhaps. there is virtually no lessons in this style on the entire internet excepte maybe the jamaica rock lesson on gmc. a lesson which involves using some cool delay settings with use of the tap tempo would be particularely good. and some other effects too. Thanks!!

I would love to have the lesson of Ted the Mechanic's solo by Steve Morse. I always wanted to learn that solo but its very tricky to nail it down without help.

The thing is I can't rally post other peoples songs because of the copyrights!
I can get his techniques and make one alike is it gonna work?

Posted by: Cem Feb 17 2012, 11:14 PM

There are several copyrighted songs present here as lessons absent written material (tabs etc.), but either way it's cool for me smile.gif

Well you are right there are a few lessons but the process of clearing copyrights is too complicated and I'd rather not deal with it!
I will make a lesson in this style soon! smile.gif

How about a series in the style of Eddie Van Halen? There are actually very few lessons here which focus on his style. And the main one by Muris has 182 comments. I think it's important to keep the focus on enormously popular (80 million albums sold worldwide) hard rock players like him. That's not to knock other rock styles (I love fusion, jazz, reggae, etc.) but the fact is that people like my wife, her friends and even her yuppie sister had Van Halen albums. (Young girls drive album sales) Not to mention that most players on youtube are unable to execute his style, because I believe that the effortlessness in his Blues licks are extremely difficult to pull off.

After reading this again I understand why you didn't respond. I should have just requested for a lesson in the style of Eddie Van Halen and left it at that. My apologies to anyone offended.

Hey! It's a great idea! I will make a lesson about that! So next two lessons will be Steve Morse and Van Halen! It will be very cool!
Sorry I didn't reply earlier was trying to figure out the best way to make this lesson!

I would love to see an Alex Hutchings style series, like begginer, intermediate and advance lesson. I think you and A.Hutchings have a lot in common in your playing style.

Thanks Alex.

hi alex! was wondering if your still up for doing a dub reggae lesson i requested? i been asking lots of people but still no joy. there are alot of bands mixing reggae/dub/hip hop/punk/electro sounds especially here in bristol uk and doing it with just guitar bass drums and sometimes horns. no keyboards! be really good to have a lesson which demonstrates layering your songs with effects etc. i just can't find any decent lessons on the net. some good bands to check out in this kind of style on youtube would be inner terrestrials, first degree burns, matisyahu, autonomads, propaganda and information network. cheers alex :-)

Hey Alex, I really liked your Electric Fingerpicking Lesson biggrin.gif

Can we dig into some acoustic stuff and maybe a lesson or series that touches upon the skills you require to be a descent acoustic player, Like fingerpicking, acoustic style graceful strumming (I always wondered how do they do that), moving open chords, some weird chords and maybe some clean melodic soloing too. smile.gif

I know this is too much sad.gif But you're the man I should ask this smile.gif

If you will analyze this song you will hear that it's coming from spanish guitar and style Flamenco
They are using same scales and same techniques if you want I can create an assignment based on this style

Simply, this is what I call ACOUSTIC guitar playing.
I dont know any spanish guitar or flamenco laugh.gif I heard those terms a lot. Now if you could please tell me their meanings wink.gif That would be very helpful. I don't have an acoustic guitar so no assignments, I am happy at learning scale shapes smile.gif
