Here we talk about about the tips and tricks how to work out a pure rock guitar sound with just one guitar, one amp and only spring reverb. Gary Moore was the master of this puristic sound setting so I take a bit his approach here. The key to this type of rock guitar sound is to wokr very dynamicly with the setting of your volume, your pickup selection and also your playing technique. Here I show you the main tricks about it. Sound settings are also a key element of this. The way you work with your volume, gain, master volume, the presence setting, the EQ setting and also with compression. Here you find more details how to work with that in specific in the HPCrazy Lab - Rock Guitar Tone Control Tutorial :

Here we are working on your first steps to play some double stops inside your slow blues guitar solo. The main task in fact is to always know where you are, to select the right double stops and to play them with a cool rhythm pattern. You can take any double stops if you check the chord which is played at the current point inside the blues form but I am showing you the most common double stops and the most common basic rhythm patterns. Once you have those ones done properly with your slow blues guitar training you are ready to become creative and make any combinations. Here you can download the files associated to this tutorial :

This blues here has a standard form : G7 / G7 / G7 / G7 C7 / C7 / G7 / G7 D7 / C7 / G7 / D7 The task in fact is to use those double stops and always know where inside the current blues form you are and after you completed the exercises start to become creative and use any pattern and exercise as long as you stay in the blues form. The backing track is as always my own production and is a blues in G with 80 bpm. These files are associated to this tutorial :Free -
This tune is still one of my favorite jazz standards because it is a minor blues in 3/4 and you can really explore the dorian mode on the Cm7 and on the Fm7. What I also started to use is the C melodic minor mode on the Cm7 chord which sounds great on this tune. Try it : E |----------------------------|-----------------7--8----|| B |----------------------------|-----------8--10---------|| G |----------------------------|--7--8--10---------------|| D |-----------------7--9--10---|-------------------------|| A |-----------8--10------------|-------------------------|| E |--8--10-11------------------|-------------------------||
