Bogdan Radovic2nd January 2014What is the black hair thing at top of
the neck for?
Guitarists sometimes use a simple hearband for additional muting of strings, for example when there are lots of tapping sections or similar passages which would benefit from that. It helps avoid unwanted noises (to some extent). Check out this lesson in which instructor uses it on the fretboard : LINK

Hi GMCers!
THE PROFESSOR Learning how to move between Minor Blues and Major Blues Scales will take your playing to the next level. Then check out the Blues Guitar Theory Guide for all your blues music needs!
Welcome to my new lesson about blues phrasing.
Playing blues solos requires basic knowledge of theory and scales. The best known and most commonly used is the blues scale, but next to it is also Minor And Major pentatonic, Dominant and so on. In this lesson, I will be based on several variations and short and striking phrases consisting of only a few tones. I'll show you how you can change the structure of solos, so that they don't sound monotonous and predictable.
