Blue Fantasy by Roo (part 1)
Welcome to this new lesson! This is a lead guitar etude that covers severals interesting technical and musical aspects... I have been working very hard on this last year but for some reasons I never found for it a place in my own songs set list. Mostly because it isnt actually a rock song.
I give it a second chance here at GMC. Basically it's a classical medley of major and minor apreggios led by triplets lead shapes...
This tune goes very fast but fortunatly it still sounds very sweet played at slow tempo. This is a difficult and intense lesson, for hard workers but well rewarding at the end. Im sure you will be happy to perform it before your friends.
Ideally you must have a 24 frets guitar to perform it properly but I made a little update so that you could make it with any electric guitar. (Because it's a whole song, it's a bit longer than a standart lesson. So we will cut it in 3 parts.
This is now Part I. But check out the full demo (myspace.com/rooguitar) to have an global idea of it... You can hear in the backing track keyboards, I kept this keyboard in the training Backing tracks so that it helps to remember the song and also IMO it sounds better. )
