We'll create a Middle Eastern sounding lead with the use of the Phrygian dominant scale. I also included some detailed spoken explanations for your convenience and all the examples are recorded over a click.

One-on-one (101) Lessons
Difficulty 7 of 10 Tapping 4 - More Two-Handed Tapping...!Today we are going to look at a style of two handed tapping technique that's typical to Greg Howe (and probably a bunch of other shred guitarists too!). As this video lesson hopefully will demonstrate, it's a very versatile technique. The first two licks demonstrate how smooth, legato sounding, this pattern can make the pentatonic scale sound. It is also an excellent tool for creating fast runs, in either improvised or written solos. All the licks in this tapping 101 serie work well to combine with each other.
Difficulty 5 of 10 Tapping 3 - Two-Handed TappingIn this third 101 tapping lesson - we start to get into truly advanced stuff. This specific kind of pattern is something I personally have had great use of - I have probably used it a little more than I should have! The technique enables extremely fast playing - in fact the speeds possible easily exceed what would be possible to do with picking/legato. The two-handed approach sure is something for speedmonsters. As always with tapping - the level of difficulty isn't that high. (Doing these kind of things with any other technique would require years and years of practice).
Difficulty 2 of 10 Tapping 2 - Randy Rhoads style etc.Time to get into a little more advanced tapping licks. By adding new notes here and there to our first pattern (tapping lesson 1) - it is possible to slide into advanced stuff pretty quickly. Make sure to study this serie of tapping lessons in the right order - if you do so + practice seriously, you should hopefully get this technique down pretty quickly.
Difficulty 1 of 10 Tapping 1 - The Basics and BeyondThis time we will look at tapping à la Eddie Van Halen/Randy Rhoads/Kirk Hammett. Tapping has to be one of the most popular techniques on the electric guitar - and why wouldn't it be? It's easy to play fast, easy to improvise with, looks very difficult - not to mention it sounds terrifyingly cool!
Difficulty 2 of 10 Barre ChordsUndoubtly, this is one of the biggest obstacles for beginner guitarists. Barre chords are tricky because all six strings of the guitar need to be fretted with one finger - the barre. The good news is, once you can play one of them, you will be able to play all. And not only will you be able to play all barre chords - you will also be able to play all essential chords just by moving around a couple of barre shapes.
Difficulty 6 of 10 Pentatonic Scale 3 - Diagonal Position ShiftingThe diagonal pentatonic approach is the most effective way of covering ground on the guitar. Also, it is probably one of the most requested type of runs by my students. Nothing looks cooler than starting a run from the lowest notes on the low e-string, going all the way up to the highest notes on the high e-string.
Difficulty 5 of 10 Pentatonic Scale 2 - Horizontal Position ShiftingIf you can achieve speed on one place on the guitar, you are very close to doing it all over. And that's what this lesson is about. Some of the licks I have given you are very useful for phrasing. Basically we are playing slower melodic patterns, which (once again!) move all over the guitar. I have found them to be reminescent of both SRV and Eric Johnson - depending on which tempo you chose to play them in!
Difficulty 2 of 10 Pentatonic Scale 1 - Position ShiftingDo you want to learn how to play fast between the different pentatonic boxes... being able to connect them fluidly and seamlessly ...complement your bends with lightning fast horizontal runs...? Your journey begins here! In this first pentatonic scale lesson, I am going to reveal "the trick" which allowed me to venture out of the box thinking and start improvising my way around the fretboard. Basically, you have to understand the process of horizontal thinking...
Difficulty 1 of 10 Beginner LicksDo you dream of getting started with solo guitar? Has the instruction you have found so far been too difficult for you? Here is the place to start! The basic building block for solos are licks, in other words short passages of notes. When put together - this licks create a solo. The better the licks you know, the better your solos are going to sound!
