   We have already spoken about Clean Strumming- let's continue with a "semi-acoustic" serie - as this lesson can be played on both electric and acoustic guitar. In this Rythm 'n Solo lesson we will cover some new chord shapes and learn how to use open strings. The lesson is based on chords so if you want to learn more chord shapes - check this one out!

Really nice! I'm weak in this style of playing, so this should really help me out.

I believe you have problems with your LEFT hand wrist - don't play it by strenght. If you feel tired and tensed - put the lick away and relax. Practice it in small sessions.

Eh, Im confused on fingering in lick 5. Maybe you could capture your fret board so we could see your fingering more easily? That would be great smile.gif

Maaaaaaan the font is screwed sad.gif so look at it like this:

fret 5 - finger1, fret 7 - finger 2... and keep reading from the tab above until you get it down.

Well if you see that there is a slide or hammer-on missing - it's no big deal. The notes are still the same - and you can play all those legato stuff whatever way you like it so it is not a mistake!

I love the shred and the speed riffs... BUT, this is certainly a refreshing change of pace!!! Besides, the clean sound often compliments the shred....
MORE PLEASE!!!!

i love these clean lessons. I love the new shapes and stuff. But I hate speed lessons because speed is not my strength. Im good at learning new shapes so keep the clean ones comin

Hey thanks! I am glad you like these clean tunes! But it's easy to just surrender - you have to practice and one day you'll say that shred is your strength!! I'll think of some more clean lessons!

I especially like this ones too, they help me in accuracy when changing chords, and long stretches, low on the fret board wink.gif

Hi Pavel,

Great sounding lesson. Nice to have some chord based stuff. Couple of questions for you on this.

1. Are you mainly downpicking on these. If not when are you using down and when using up etc. I cant really see what is happening with your right hand on the video.

2. You say that the video 2 is in the key of D major but im confused. D major should be E, F#, G, A which on the G string would 9, 11, 12 and 14. Did you just add the G# for colour?

Im trying to build up my theory so i fully understand the keys behind the tracks and the patterns being rather than just blindly learning the tab shown hence the question.

Pavel I stumbled upon this for probably the 50th time and, again it blew me away. Please more clean acoustic material.. I bought a Martin and want to put it to good use.

@Mav: sorry for really late response, i missed your question before...sad.gif

There are loads of down picks there and watch the slowed down videos, it's easier to see the direction there.

It's D-Major by chord progression. Our theory masters on the forum would sure point me to a certain mode i am using but i never think in theory so i play by ear. Sometimes you will notice that something not from a regular scale will sound much better than a straight scale playing.

@Jenkinson: ok man, i am lacking ideas for lessons so i think i'll do something "clean" next smile.gif
