At the moment i tend to just listen to a song, break down the vocal/instrumental in my head and reproduce that myself vocally ("beeps", "boops", "ba's" "bee's" etc) and then through either trial and error or knowledge get a "feel" for where and how that should be played on the fretboard. Whilst it amuses me to be sitting around sounding like the Scatman as i try to work a song out ("baaa beep BOOP BOOP, bee bee, booboo") i would like to hear any advice, suggestions, hints or tips on this matter from those with more experience, because i'm pretty sure this must be a common thing to want to do! It's something i find fulfilling and i wish to continue doing it, so any and all help would be much appreciated! Thanks. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It is useful to know the key of the song and the scale you are going to use to help you in tabbing the song for the guitar. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Daft Punk - Aerodynamic Done on a synth but easy to translate to guitar. Give it a go and upload a take for comments maybe? I play that song on guitar and love it. It is an instrumental.

I'll definitely try out Aerodynamic since i'm a pretty big Daft Punk fan You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
