This is a song I work on, or better to say experiment with. And these are some parts that I put together and decided to make a lesson.

The Edvard Grieg piece 'New World Theme'. We take our first look at positional play.

A groovy fusion tune that combines Rock attitude with some jazzy elements.

Theme of the song Malbrough goes to war arranged by Fernando Sor.

This slow theme is from the solo album "Quarterworlds of Fantasia" I recorded in 2004. The album has been released in 2009 and there are many similar melodic themes. This one is a good vibrato exercise and also great for a slow soloing feel and tone control.

A waltz is a dance for couples in triple meter, invented in the middle of 18th century in Germany and Austria. At first it was a country dance, but later on it was adopted by upper classes and became a standard dance in ballrooms.

Sarabande is a slow dance in triple meter with the distinctive feature that the second and third beats of the measure are often tied, giving a distinctive rhythm of quarter and half notes in alternation.

A slow modern blues, similar to styles of Gary Moore, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. In this lesson I combined the following techniques: bend, bend/release, slide, hammer-on, pull-off and vibrato. It is in A Minor key with some additions of F9 and E9+ chords.

You will get a feel for how various scales sound in a practical context. Don't get intimidated by the tempo, just head over to the spoken video and start recognizing modes right away!
