big thanks man 
I hope practicing is working for you! - whammysam12th June 2018
Yes, practice is the word. I need to push myself a bit harder but Im really enjoying the guitar none the less. I experimented today with a little of in the style of this lesson, and playing skills aside, I just cant seem to muster nearly enough sustsain. Think I need to look into purchasing gear. Thanks again.

Great mate - keep at it!
What helps most for sustain is either adding more gain (might not work well with lower output single coil pickups) or adding a compressor to the chain. Sometimes a booster or overdrive pedal can be a good way to add more gain. - whammysam15th June 2018
Cheers Kris, Im not afraid of the guitar, but I am a complete technophobe. So advice like this is really precious to me. Thanks :-)

Falling In A Lydian...

- Statistics
Let’s look at various concepts that helped me improvise and visualise melodies over Guido’s “Falling In A Lydian Dream” lesson.
I will be discussing the following topics and how to apply them in a lydian setting:
* What common pitfalls to avoid
* The Chinese Scale
* Major 7 arpeggios
* Creative re-use of your old licks
* Whammy bar phrasing
* Convincing melodies / Smooth changes
I only used the “A” part of Guido's backing, with the following chords:
|G A/G | G | G A/G | G |
|G A/G | G | G A/G | G |
|F/Eb | Eb| D/C | C |
|G A/G | G | G A/G | G |
Here is the corresponding lydian scale for each part:
As you can see, we have three different lydian tonalities: G lydian, Eb lydian and C lydian. Full scale charts below.
ABOUT REC: Feel free to record yourself using the approaches discussed in this lesson and post your take for REC. You should record at least 2 minutes of improvisation.
