Rock Guitar Lessons
 Difficulty 5 of 10 Eric Johnson Style Lesson 2By David OToole Johnson's style is a mixture of a few select player's influences, which he has blended together over the years to come up with his own unique and instantly recogniseable sound. Some of his influences include Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, John McLaughlin, B.B. King, Wes Montgomery (Jazz Legend), Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins.  Difficulty 5 of 10 Vibrato Lesson 2 - Whammy BarThis time we are only allowed to create the vibrato by using the whammy bar! Some guitarists prefer this type of vibrato and use it all the time.  Difficulty 9 of 10 Pentatonic Substitution LessonThis is in a key of A minor and there are 3 different pentatonic scales inside: A minor (C major), D minor (F major) and E minor (G major) pentatonic scales. We'll follow each chord with its pentatonic, to avoid usual sound of playing only A minor pentatonic  Difficulty 5 of 10 Mixolydian Pentatonics LessonIn today's lesson we are going to study the mixolydian scale and use it along with minor pentatonics. Although the chords of the backing track are major, we will use in our improvisation a minor blue pentatonic. The friction created by the minor third will add a very cool bluesy touch.  Difficulty 5 of 10 Vibrato Lesson 1 - Left HandSlow & fast vibratos, and while bending the string both up and down, or when coming from a slide or tapping note.  Difficulty 7 of 10 Pavel Denisjuk Slow Solo...here is your chance to move on and learn more complicated stuff, and get your right hand to participate with 2 fingers for tapping. This lesson will also improve your bending control and legato playing!  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 2 of 10 John Frusciante Style LessonI think that he chooses the best notes at every moment. He has not a incredible technique but he creates beautiful melodies in every solo, and for me, this is the most important thing. I don't care if you play millions of notes in a second or one note, I just want to hear beautiful music.  Difficulty 6 of 10 Rock & Blues Licks...rock/blues solo over a backing track inspired in a Steve Ray Vaughan song called Crossfire. I used some of my favourite licks on it. We will use some interesting rock/blues licks in the style of SRV, Steve Morse, Joe Satriani, Dave Navarro and many other great guitar players.  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.
