In this lesson we have two main tonalities. The first is based around E blues intro riff, and for that we use good old dorian mode, involving some blue notes required to play some blues licks that Jimi was famous for (he was influenced strongly by the blues).
Find out how they are generated with extreme close-ups on my right hand and different riffs with harmonies for you to practice and nail this technique!
As innovative as Jimi was, his style is often a mix between rhythm and solo. This approch is one of his trademarks, and if you want to use your scales as a springboard for rhythmic ideas, this is for you!
Vai breaks the rules and shows us new playing possibilities. I composed this lesson using E pentatonic minor scale and E mixolidian scale, and I recorded it using a wah-wah effect.
In this lesson, we'll study some of David Gilmour's characteristics. He uses mostly minor pentatonics. The following licks should give you some simple ideas to develop your own leads.
EVH trademarks - from his tapping licks, legato, use of whammy bar, and his unique tremolo picking.I also added a few natural and tapped harmonics, just to get the whole picture. :)
Steve uses "non guitaristic" ways of avoiding common passages in his lines and that makes him sound original. I tried to play this melody in a way that was not natural for me. I paid attention in how I played every note (which finger, the amount, vibrato, etc.).
A new lesson inspired by guitar player and composer John Frusciante. Let's analyse his nice clean soloing style that you can find in RHCP's albums like "Californication", "By the way" and "Stadium Arcadium".
In this lesson we'll use some of Zakk Wylde's most used licks and techniques in this type of ballad.This is a good lesson for beginner/intermediate players that like rock. You will also find some Slash influences in this solo.
Paul Gilbert's trademarks are furiously aggressive runs played with perfect timing. In this lesson Muris shows you how to replicate it note for note. Hop in!
