What You Will Learn0:58
Improve guitar solos with studio musician tips, techniques, and approaches for all levels, then apply concepts to your licks and blues riffs to sound like a recording.

Add Intent With String Rakes4:56
Master string rakes to add emotional intent and attack by muting strings with both hands. Compare muted riffs to cleaner tones and apply the technique to blues, rock, and solos.
Sliding In & Out Of Phrases4:35
Master sliding in and out of phrases to add emotional impact in lead guitar, practice from the 14th fret and from other strings for blues and rock phrasing.
Texture Touches2:20
Learn session guitar techniques for atmospheric sounds, including guitar swells with rising volume, reverb and delay, bending, and electric-piano textures via rolling off the tone and 12 frets; tapping harmonics.

Micro Bend & Pre Bends1:40
Learn micro bending and prebends to add subtle pitch shifts and tension to lead guitar lines, using slight micro bends and a prebend from high frets to spice blues phrasing.
Controlling Your Vibrato3:19
Think of vibrato as an effect you consciously tailor to fit the piece, varying from soft and mellow to fast and aggressive to shape emotion and solos.
Add Dynamics To Your Playing6:15
master dynamics by shaping attack and tone with your hands, refine phrasing, and implement focused exercises that vary fretboard dynamics and gain.
How The Pros Use The Pick & Natural Guitar Reverb6:10
Learn to use a pick dynamically on acoustic and electric guitars to shape attack and tone; discover natural reverb from sympathetic ringing and the contrast of muted versus unmuted playing.

Start Following Chord Changes8:42
Explore triad-based fretboard navigation beyond the cage system by visualizing F as triads across three strings, learning triad shapes and arpeggios across the fretboard while applying them to chord progressions.
Think Like a Singer3:47
Think like a singer and learn the fretboard by playing pentatonic shapes on one string, humming along to develop melodic phrasing across the neck.

Requirements

You pentatonic licks will do :)

Description

A Practical Guide to 9 Techniques, Tips, and Concepts that Will Improve Your Guitar Solos and help you sound more musical - Easy to Grasp and Immediately Applicable for Every Skill Level & Style derived from my experience of recording in over 200 multi-genre albums. This course is an addition to my previous course that includes only 5 techniques.

The following lessons will touch on techniques, dynamics, fretboard knowledge, improvising, touch, and feel so that you make better music, not just play better leads.

Guitar rakes- Play with intention
Sliding in & out of solo- Spice up your live solos
Right Hand & Tone Dynamic- The Essential of Playing With Feel
How The Pros Use The Pick & Natural Guitar Reverb
Right Hand & Tone Dynamics
Key To The Fretboard - Think Like a Singer
Simple Way To Solo Over Chord Changes
Truly Control Your Vibrato
Texture Touches

What I teach here is what I apply daily in my studio work, not licks and tricks, but concepts you build above what you already know. Whether you are a BEGINNER guitar player still struggling to improvise or an INTERMEDIATE guitar player who wants to get to the next level, this class will give you what you need to work on. Even if you are an advanced player, I promise you will have some 'aha' moments.

What I teach is valid for Acoustic and Electric Guitar and adaptable for every genre, from rock, blues, funk, pop, country, and even metal. The most crucial factor is that I will show HOW TO IMPLEMENT THEM IMMEDIATELY with the licks & solos you already know & knowledge you have.

This course requires only knowing a pentatonic box shape for some of these techniques & no specific knowledge for most of them.

Who this course is for:

Guitarist who want to make BETTER MUSIC, not just learn techniques
Beginner and Intermediate player that want to jump up their lead game
Guitarist who want to dig deeper in the skills of a session guitarist
