    Here's the new " talk to my guitar " video - had a lot of fun

  19. Started by admin,

    In this lesson you learn the essentials of the music of AC DC. From my opinion this is more the work of the rhythm guitar which is played by Malcome Young. So I talk how to use the main chords of this style and how to work with it in a dynamic way which is very important also for any kind of other rock or bluesrock guitar playing. At the end of this lesson I give some ideas for lead guitar. To download the tabs, the jamtrack and the video go here : http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/guitarschool/index.php?showtopic=1548

Thats very important. :-) To get the full lesson with all background information and download links go here : http://www.hanspeterkruesi.com/guitarschool/index.php?showtopic=1542

    In this lesson I explain on the example off my " orange blues " how you can work with different modes in an open timing blues in E. You can choose between E major, E mixolydian, A lydian and E minor pentatonic. This way you are able to spread your possibilites of expression dramaticly. Also working with different dynamic levels with your distortion and additional Wahwah can help you a lot to sound really dynamic and expressiv.
