Intermediate Guitar Lessons
 Difficulty 3 of 10 Phrygian to Ionian ModulationIn this lesson we will study an improvisation that will use the Phrygian mode, and the Ionian mode (aka Major scale). The key is in G and the track modulates from G Phrygian to G major. The following licks are not very technical, but are there to show you how to build musical ideas that are built around the chords.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Blues - get that Shuffe 2!The main purpose of this lesson is to learn every position and inversion of the dominant 7th triads. These triads are a great tool to use when you are soloing and also when you are playing a blues rhythm.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Neoclassical Three-Level-Lesson, BeginnerA solo in the harmonic A-minor scale. It contains mostly regular picking, but also some sweeps". The solo is taught in three levels of difficulty.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Pink Floyd Style LessonBy David OToole ...a soft Bluesy-Rock solo which featured some bends being excruciatingly tortured :). The backing track chords are Amin and D9. It defintely has a bit of a Pink Floyd going on, and loops endlessly well I find. Floyd's guitarist David b is a very blues based player, and perhaps the solo sound is a little heavier than he might dial in, but the basic feel is very Floydian...  Difficulty 4 of 10 U2 - The Edge - Style lessonBy David OToole His stuff is easy to play and learn in no time, and it sounds great. I gigged a lot of U2 stuff over the years and it's always a great buzz to play it live - exhuberent is the word I believe. The main thing you need to suss is to get your delay pedal set right and approach the picking technique to suit. This technique opens up countless doors in sound possibilities. From searing delay-driven riffs to atmospheric musical landscapes.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Country/Blues LessonBy David OToole Time for some tasty Country/Blues style licks. The first piece utilizes a cool string bending technique that simultaneously bends two notes. One up and one down which produces a sound very reminiscent of a Pedal-Steel Guitar lick or a B-String Bender. This technique can be expanded on a lot and we'll look at some similar but more advanced uses of it in a later lesson.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Blues - get that shuffleWe need a strong rhythm if we want to have a good blues solo. You should feel it when you are playing rhythm, as well as when you are soloing. The shuffle is the most common rhythm in blues. It uses the first and the last note of a eighteenth note triplet to create the blues feeling. Accentuating the first note of each triplet is the most common way to play it and make it sound natural.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Iron Maiden Style LessonIron Maiden Style lesson for beginner and intermediate players. In this lesson we are going to explore Maiden's most used guitar arrangements, chord progressions, rhythms and licks. This is a nice, two-guitars-melody harmonized in thirds in the style of Murray/Smith duets. You can here this kind of guitar arrangement in lots of Maiden's songs so let's have a look at the chord progression.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Blues Licks 3I composed this solo for GMC students in order to incorporate the Steve Ray Vaughan style in your playing and his most important influences (Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix. etc). We are going to focus on his rhythm guitar work and his chord melody style.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Blues Licks 2In this lesson we will continue studying the most used Scales and Arpeggios for Blues Improvisation. This is also a good exercise for practicing bendings, vibrato and legatos. The chord progression is the same as blues licks lesson 1.
