Dirty Blues Rock Lead Guitar Here I show you some advanced tips and tricks on how to play a dirty blues rock lead guitar. We are working with 3 minor pentatonic positions and with a lot of dynamic shifts created with pinch harmonics, vibrato's, bendings and also with the wah - pedal. You don't need a wah pedal for this tutorial but it is recommended. The trick is not to play fast runs. It's to play intensely by using the playing techniques I will show you.

Just saw your request now - sorry I have overseen it. But anyway that part is to extended to tab it out. I think I was explaining something with the concept and then went for a demonstration.

Hey Ian, yeah I remember your comment. The AXE FX III is not cheap - if you have the money go for it, if you budget is limited you might go for the FM3. That has a similar soundquality for a smaller price with the same amps and cabinets... more or less. I have both and I love them both. My Epiphone is not a regular one. It's from the elitist series - so you might need to replace the pickups to regular Gibson pickups and there you should be more or less there. Here are now my sound settings here : The cabinet is 4*12 Recto + 4*12 Fractal ( so I use 2 cabinets ) Delay is a pingpong delay on 7% Mix, Feedback 50% Reverb - Large Hall Compression - Studio Compression 2:1 Ratio

I had a few technical problems today with the update of the software of the HPCrazy Guitar Academy. All should be fine now - but if any unusual problems occur please let me know.

Hey Mike you are welcome

Doing 10 finger tapping on only 6 strings is really challenge because there is not much space left and you always need to check which strings are free. But the big disadvantage of the 7 string is in fact the tone control is not so good like on 6 strings. An other thought - I love doing scatting but the range of my voice does not work so well on the regular open string keys - but B minor is just great and works. So I will give a try there. Composing - Live Playing I am checking Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malsteen and other players at the moment to get some inspriation for own songs or playings. Today I came to the finding that I would love to do instrumental cinematic guitar music. That would combine the best of 2 worlds - guitar sounds and cinematic sounds. Main problem I currently have is in fact my time schedules to arrange and compose the music for that. But I will send it into my creative channels and see how it evolves.

Hey Ian, the licks which are displayed in the tabs are the basic form of the lick variations as explained in the video.

What A Wonderful World - Guitar Lesson This is an arrangement which I wrote for the song " What a wonderful world " by Louis Armstrong ". This version is set on a voice-leading with only 3 voices which is a bit unusual for jazz guitar arrangements. I wanted to do it this way for 2 reasons. 1. I love this open spaced sound and with the guitar chord voicings I have chosen you can also add a bluesy vibe to by adding vibrato's on the chords. 2. It's a really simple to play version so that intermediate guitar players also have a chance to master this classic tune which everybody should have played once.

Hey Roland, yeah I bet you love these chords here. Somehow easy to play but still there are some challenges in it.

I am currently working a lot on open string chord progressions where I keep one open or more open strings as a pedal point in a compositon or a chord progression inside a composition. This one note which always rings through the progression is giving the whole sound a pedal like sound such as you might know from the piano and also gives it a mystical and lyric vibe. Here is a small example of a chord progression I am working on. It's in Am and goes through the chords Am9 / Fmaj7#11 / Dm6/11 / Cadd9 G6/B E |--------------0-----------------------0-------------| B |-----------0-----0-----------------0-----0----------| G |--------12----------12----------12----------12------| D |-----10----------------10----10----------------10---| A |--12----------------------12------------------------| E |----------------------------------------------------| --------------0-----------------------0-------------| -----------0-----0-----------------0-----0----------| --------9-----------9-----------9-----------9-------| -----7-----------------7-----7-----------------7----| --8-----------------------8-------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------| --------------0-----------------------0-------------| -----------0-----0-----------------0-----0----------| --------5-----------5-----------5-----------5-------| -----3-----------------3-----3-----------------3----| --5-----------------------5-------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------| --------------0-----------------------0-------------|| -----------3-----3-----------------3-----3----------|| --------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-------|| -----2-----------------2-----0-----------------0----|| --3-----------------------2-------------------------|| ----------------------------------------------------||
