Hey Rafi, these are 7th chords with the root note on the low E-string. Those shapes are good. I also use those ones. I transfered the licks now on those shapes here but I must say they are technicaly more demanding this way - but give it a shot. Maybe it's easier for you since you already know those shapes.

A very nice guitar and it's made in the USA 🙂 - and I know for many guitars are always girls 😄 Lucile for BB King as an example. Dr. Pink is also a girl 😄

Thats cool - maybe you can share a picture of it 🙂

I understand - I have added the basic arpeggio's for this specific lesson with the chords Dm C and Bb here : Basic arpeggio's Dm C Bb.pdf

You can always teach beginners - teaching beginners is most of the time to keep them engaged to continue to practice and to make them working on the difficulties everybody has at the beginning. if you have such a serious practice routine then add 5 min. break after each block of 20 minutes and after 3 blocks of 20 min - 15 min break. Some science guys found out that thats the most effectiv way to learn but I must admit I never tried it myself. I just play and play and play. Still enjoying to practice a lot.

Guitar Secrets - Crazy Arpeggio Licks If you are tired of always sounding the same and even playing arpeggio's don't help you anymore to give some more colors into your guitar solo, then this tutorial is for you. Here I give you some ideas how you can play arpeggio's of minor and major chords differently. They make your sound wide and give you an extra color into your guitar solo.

Yes that a good devision of the topics and I strongly recommend that. 🙂 Thats really serious practicing - well done. I never used a pencil... but I see the point. 🙂

What I can tell you to help you is that the tone is only 50% the equipment and the rest is playing technique. I mostly use only Delay and Reverb as effects - only on high gain guitar leads sounds a compressor. Plug in's are fine as long as your computer has enough CPU and the amp modelling is good enough. Clean sounds mostly are good and high gain sounds are also mostly ok - where it comes to discover the weakness of plugins is when you want to work with dynamic playing with medium destortion. Good plugins still react to different dynamic playing and bad ones sound more or less the same no matter how you attack the strings.

I want to mention a renewal of one of our members here. It's like a donation and well appreciated. The member renewed the premium membership for 10 years. Thanks for the trust and that helps to keep things running. 🙂 I am going to add those 450 US$ to the donation amount. 🙂

Yeah it's a ZZTop tune - but Jeff Healey also played it and I love that one more. 😄

Hey Charley, nice having you back. I remember you were a very activ member of the community 10 years ago - I was at guitartricks.com then - I left them 2012 because they changed the regulations for instructors there and at the beginning of 2019 I decided to have this community back online. 🙂 I think guitarpro is the best tool to have - and I really recommend that one. 🙂 and thats why I provide the guitarpro files here in the community. 🙂 I think I will work out something to start to understand modes better and how to use them. It's really a topic and it takes it's time to really understand it and to really be able to use them intuitiv in your playing.

Yes I think theory is something which is still missing a bit. I thought I want to go for tutorials which really get students to understand and use the modes. And Les Paul was right. 🙂

Yeah these licks should give you new ideas how to use the pentatonic. 🙂

Hey Tharvey, you are welcome 🙂

Hey Charley, yeah I must say the lessons work best when you follow them with Guitar Pro. It's just an awsome tool to learn - thats why I provide everything as Guitar Pro file.

I checked several versions of this iconic song and there are many different versions available by BB King. Some are in B minor and some in C minor. So this tutorial refers to the original recording of the late 60s but more how to play minor blues in this style and how to play in the style of BB King. There is an analysis about the material he is playing and his way of making the guitar " cry like a baby ". There are 4 chapters with different topics. The chords are : Bm7 / Bm7 / Bm7 / Bm7 Em7 / Em7 / Bm7 / Bm7 Gmaj7 / F#7 / Bm7 / Bm7 The chapters are : 0:00 Introduction 3:14 Chords 8:45 Solo 17:24 Final Notes The Thrill Is Gone.pdf The Thrill Is Gone.gp the thrill is gone.mp3

Es gibt neu nun ein Therapie Konzept mit Farbmusik. Dies nennt sich Sternen Therapie. Es ist die Kombination aus Astrologischer und spiritueller Krisenbegleitung und Heilungs - und Therapie Musik. Das Prinzip besteht darin, dass die gesamtheitliche Harmonie durch die Farben durch Musik und Meditation wieder hergestellt werden soll. Die Farbmusik war immer dafür gedacht die Zuhörer wieder in Balance und Harmonie zu bringen - nun habe ich eine Therapie Konzept entwickelt wo zusammen mit der Astrologie ein individuelles Meditations und Therapiekonzept mit Farbmusik für Interessierte anzubieten. http://www.sternentherapie.com ---------------------------------- There is now a new therapy concept with color music.

Thats a wonderful description Andrea - thanks for letting us know. 🙂 I think this way of meditation and creativity works for everybody. I think I will make some more tutorials about techniques to play guitar and meditate at the same time to help those who still have difficulties on that. 🙂

Hey Charley, thats nice to hear. I listened the show myself and I thought it was really entertaining for a possible audience. And yes in fact we only scratched the surface till now. I am also working myself hard at the moment to show more aspects of my music which I never published. And yeah the Blue Jean Blues is an awesome song. I think you can rock that one. You can let other students know in the students club about your practice plan. That section is for the students to interact. Slowly getting some life into this little community we have here. 🙂
