Spanish Guitar Improvisation Tutorial When it comes to spanish guitar improvisation on a typical progression there are a few easy tricks to know to make you sound nice and melodic by following the chords with the target notes ( Chord Notes ) - In this tutorial I show you a simple progression with special chords but then also with the normal chords and show you how to use them for a nice and tasteful spanish sounding guitar improvisation. This tutorial goes along the style of Al Di Meola or John Mc Laughlin and is more for pic players but it also works for finger picking players. We all know that record " Friday Night in San Francisco " - it's a bit influenced by that but this tutorial is more for beginners in this genre. The chord progression is the following one : Dm / Dm / Bb / C Dm / Dm / Bb / C Gm6 / Gn6¦F / Edim / A Spanish Guitar Improvisation.pdf Spanish Guitar Improvisation.gp spanish guitar improvisation.mp3

Ok I see - thanks for that information. 🙂

Do you have any bands in specific which you like ?

Hey Sara - well it's not hard to do - just never thought about it. I might give a shot on that one. And I can guess on Joscho Stefan, that he did something like that 😄

Hey Andrea, thats a good topic - funny that I never thought about this before. I work something out.

Good to know Kent 🙂 Hey Sara - thats and interesting suggestion. Never thought about that. I am not sure if this is something many among you would like to do, since you are the first one ever asked for this - and I never saw such tutorial somewhere else. But for sure what would make sense to play a 2nd rhythm guitar to a backing track.

Hey guys, I wanted to do a longer rhythm course with like 10 or more lessons to get you guys to better timing and rhythm education. Let me know if you are interested in such course. Of course it's then important that somebody controls your progress and if you are doing it right. So let me know what you guys thing about this. I will also add a poll here.

Exactly - Dr Pink is a bit sick today and needs to go to the doctor 😄

Hey Kevin, yes rhythm and timing is very important. It makes 50% of the musicical expression. I am planing to do specific lessons just on rhythm to work this out. I had it on my mind quite a while but forgot it over the x-mas time. Good that you remind me about that. 🙂

Easy Creative Rock Guitar Here I give you the proper instruction on how to play a very solid and professional sounding rock lead guitar. I am working with the concept of “ The power of 3 “ and “ Make some noise “ which are explained further in this guitar tutorial. The bendings are the most important tool to play rock guitar, next would be the pinch harmonics and then palm muted technique. I show you licks and ideas for all those techniques and how to work with the noisy distorted sound. What I show you in this tutorial is probably the most easy way to sound professional in this genre.

He was - but his playing really has a recognizable style. I really love it. Yes it's a classic thing also the lead guitar - but still it has some magic in it. 🙂

Hey Sara, glad you loved the backing track. I also never tried that combination of the fingers but it gives an interesting sound and and interesting other approach to sound with finger picking. I might also want to check out Johnny Guitar Watson. He has a similar very special sound which reminds me a bit of this. The rakes are really a cool way of expression and a great add to lead guitar. Kind of a Sweeping - Light technique.
