how to technique Apr 23, 2024

One of the best ways to sound like a pro is to add the intervals of the 6th technique to your playing. The best way I know to understand this technique is to make the connection between the shapes of the chords you already know and then isolate the sixth intervals. After that, you can use the CAGED System to connect to other chord shapes and spread this amazing technique throughout the fretboard of your guitar. 

The intervals of the 6th technique, also known as sixths, create a smooth and sophisticated sound in your playing. By mastering this technique, you'll be able to play harmonized melodies, create lush chord voicing, and add a professional touch to your improvisations. Sixths are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of musical styles, making them a valuable tool for any guitarist.

Guitar Solo Over the Chord Change - The Best Way

solo technique Nov 23, 2023

One of the many tools every lead guitarist carries in their toolbelt is the ability to solo with the chord change. While beginners and intermediate guitarists often start their solo journey by learning how to solo according to the key of the song, more advanced guitarists take their solos to the next level by soloing not only according to the key but also according to the chord change. This opens up a whole new world of colors and moods to explore, not to mention making the solo sound more musical.

The best way to develop the ability to change scales according to the chords is to use the pentatonic scale in conjunction with the chord change. In this lesson, we'll take the first steps towards achieving this, and you'll be surprised at how quickly your solos sound more professional.

Unlocking Creative Guitar: Breaking Free from Shapes

solo technique Sep 19, 2023

Playing guitar is all about shapes. You start with shapes for chords, then move on to shapes for the pentatonic scale, and eventually, you tackle shapes for the major and minor scales. Unlike the piano, where you actually know which notes you're hitting in chords and scales, on the guitar, you're all about shapes – that's the deal.

But here's the catch: leaning too much on these shapes can trap your creativity. If you rely on them too heavily, it can put a damper on your solo-writing skills because you're stuck within those confines.

In this lesson, we're going to dive into a simple technique that rock legends like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani love to use and abuse. We're going to play the major scale in a straight-up, linear way – meaning we're sticking to just one string for our major scale and solo.

This technique is going to push you out of your shape-dependent comfort zone and force you to come up with music ideas that are wildly different from what you'd get if...
