Rock Guitar Lessons
  Difficulty 4 of 10 B Major Intermediate SoloScale wise I tried to keep it as simple as possible - just B major scale with a little bit of B major pentatonic scale. Techniques: alternate picking, tapping, legato, sweeping, bends etc.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Jimi Hendrix Style LessonAs 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!  Difficulty 4 of 10 Learning the Major PentatonicsToday's lesson will help you memorize the 5 positions of the pentatonic scale. This scale has a relative minor pentatoinic scale, which means that both of these scales share the same notes and positions.What makes one sound major or minor depends on the chords in the background.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Pentatonic Sliding LessonAre you sometimes stuck in those pentatonic boxes? Don`t know how to connect them and move up and down the neck? Why not try legato slides? The most important thing is to carefully execute the slides. Practise them very slowly until you become very comfortable playing them fast.  Difficulty 4 of 10 Steve Vai Wah-wah LessonVai 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.  Difficulty 3 of 10 Pop Strumming LessonRhythm patterns using a crunch sound! This type of playing is often used in a pop-rock context. The strumming is quite similar to the drum rhythm. With your right hand you can play lower strings while the drum is playing the kick drum, and you can play higher strings for the snare drum.  Difficulty 3 of 10 Heavy Ballad SoloingThis is a great opportunity to explore how much feeling we have in our playing. Suitable for intermediate guitar players, this lesson shows that we can combine slow and fast melodies to express different emotions and cover different aspects of the playing.  Difficulty 3 of 10 David Gilmour Style LessonIn 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.  Difficulty 3 of 10 Bb Minor Phrasing -BeginnerArpeggios, picking, sweeping, lots of it! The scale stays the same, Bb minor. A good thing about guitar is that we have the same fingering for all scales in the same group. All we have to do is to move one or few frets up or down.
