The turnaround is one of the most used elements in jazz music. It appears in jazz blues, in rhythm changes or many Jazz standards in different forms. So what is a turnaround ? it is a 1625 progression which is played mostly in 2 bars. There are several forms available and babe are all called turn around so here are three examples below. Bb7 G7 / C7 F7 Bbmaj7 G7 / C7 F7 Bbmaj7 Gm7 / Cm7 F7 There are different methods to make a solo over such musical form. Some of them are easy, others are more advanced and difficult. In this tutorial I talked about the easy form and that method works over all versions of turnarounds in any situation. The main trick is to use the major pentatonic scale and adding the approach note which is located between the interval 2 and 3 and is so-called flat 3. So first I am going to show you a written guitar which works on a turn around with a walking bass and then show you the major pentatonic with the approach note and then give you some guitar licks and some inspiration how to use that scale over a turn around. At the end of the tutorial I am going to play a version of my own to give you some additional improvisation on how to work out with that method.

Develop Blues Guitar Motivs From Scratch If you want to know how to develop your own really cool blues guitar motifs this is the tutorial for you. Here you can learn how to develop an easy blues motif from scratch by using a motif which is very simple with a note or chord on count 1 and 2+. First to show you how it sounds just with one note.

Hey guys, somehow the new tutorial got lost in the newsfeed - so just a reminder that the next tutorial will be Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix - btw on special request of one of you students. You can always request tutorials - I pick one of those if I think it fits to the Academy and serves a general interest. ? So here the Jimi Hendrix Tutorial :

Hey Tony, that one was a Godin Concert Duo - I think that was the right name for it.

Here's Steve Vai on lead guitar.

Hey Andreas, yes this is lesson which for sure hits the issue of many players. Glad it works for you. Just try on your current equipment the way I am showing in this tutorial. The pinch harmonic I skipped in this tutorial since it's enough to start this specific journey. But I will do about pinch harmonic in specific in an advanced lesson later. Or you just check YouTube - for sure there is a tutorial which talks about pinch harmonics.

Yes I was not sure if its in the 1st position or in the 5th fret - then I thought I go for the easier one and reviewing the livevideo's it seemed that it's originaly played in the 1st position. And yes if you have a wrist injury 3 note per string is for sure not advisable. Do you still suffer from the injury ?

Foxy Lady ( Jimi Hendrix )- Guitar Lesson In this tutorial I'll show you how to play the song Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix as played at Miami pop 1968 live. On this live recording you can clearly see the fingering of Jimi Hendrix so I decided to pick that recording and show you how to play the main guitar riff and give you some inspiration how to do some solo guitar in the wild style of Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix used to tune his guitar on Eb but I have made a version which is played on normal tuned guitar. I also checked his fingering on the live recording and I show you the way he plays the guitar riff but I also show you an alternative fingering which is probably easier for most of your players out there. Even though there are recordings of Jimi Hendrix playing this song I do believe that he never meant it to be extremely precise. I think the wildness in his playing is part of his trademark style and so when it comes to the guitar solo I show you how to play wild and that is exactly what's Jimi Hendrix playing was all about.

Yes he is a great guitar player. ?

Ah now I see the mistake - yes you are right there is no 2 in the minor pentatonic ?

Hey Tony, yes our little community is growing every day. ? I dont get what you mean with the 2nd minor pentatonic formula. 1 2 b3 4 5 b7 is the root position.

Hey Tony, thanks for joining our little community here. Yes I know the topic of intervals can be told complicated or easy. I prefer the easy way. It's how it is you just need to learn them by heart but the good news is once you know them and you recognize them on the fretboard everything starts to fall into place and makes fretboard geography much easier and gives you the ability to play freely on the fretboard.

Guitar Secrets - Sound Great On Cheap Guitar Equipment In this tutorial I talked about how to sound great on cheap guitar equipment. This is a question which probably drives most of your electric guitar players in the world. You only have a limited budget to buy a good guitar amplifier. Maybe you can spend $200 for a guitar amp or even less and you're frustrated because you think you cannot sound great on a cheap guitar amplifier. The difference between cheap and expensive guitar equipment is in many cases the dynamic range. What is the dynamic range ? It's the way the tone reacts to your playing technique by going softer or harder in volume or your picking technique or any kind of articulation work on the fretboard.. I have good news for you. In the tutorial I show you how you can work out a technique to sound great on any equipment by using cheap equipment. The main step is to switch off all effects and just have the pure tone of your amplifier and then you start to work out your technique and how to create tone and sound just on your fretboard.If you must have this less than a year then you will be able to sign greater than any equipment you will have and well once you add effects again they will amplify and multiply the greatness of your sound with your learned on just play on cheap equipment. This tutorial is from the “ must-have “ series, meaning. It is for all tour players out there on this planet. I had this lesson myself on the very end of my music studies at music University and it helped me alot to develop my sound to the next level. Slow Blues A 50.mp3
