Hey HP!
New member from Sweden here, really like your teaching, and style of music right down my alley! Top job!
I have a question though: can I find backing tracks for old lessons that are on Youtube? For example, this AC/DC-style-lesson. Can't find it here on your site, just on Youtube.
 

Basic Rock Guitar Improvisation - Full Beginners Course
 
If you are a beginner to rock guitar improvisation then this full course is for you. I will guide you through all necessary steps which are needed to play a good and solid rock guitar improvisation. Rock Guitar is a very technical thing so I will emphasize on the technical parts which are needed to play a great rock guitar solo. These are : 
 
Minor Pentatonic Positions 1,2,4 and 1 high
Play scales in 8ths and 16ths 
Play scales with hammer on and pull off technique
Vibrato
Bendings
Bendings with Vibrato
Pinch Harmonics
Palm Muted Runs
 
I will explain all techniques in detail and give you all necessary information needed to handle each of those techniques. At the end I will give you some final notes and a roadmap to success and play you a solo where I only used the techniques which you can learn here to give you some inspiration to go through this longer process of learning and practicing.

Here you can learn how to become a better Rock rhythm guitar player. This tutorial is for all rock guitar players out there who want to become really steady rhythm machines such as Malcolm Young or Mike Whiteford's of Aerosmith. Having a real steady and tight Rock Rhythm guitar means that you involve your whole body into the Rhythm while you're playing and that you are counting the beats 1 2 3 4 consciously. So this tutorial is about how to do you train your whole body in your whole system to play rock chords with a typical rock technique and moving your foot to the beat and counting and having the whole system going simultaneously. Some exercises seem like to be total beginner exercises but if you have never done this to exercises before and you are an intermediate or even a pro guitar player you really need to have those exercise done properly. I can only speak of my own experience that I underestimated those exercises a lot when I just left my music University and I learned the hard way but if you haven't done the basics right you are not able to play complex stuff tight and in the proper timing. So just go through those exercise I'm showing you and if you're able to do all of them properly and all in different tempo’s then you don't have to do these exercises anymore. These exercises are the basis of everything when it comes to rhythm rock guitar.
