Description
INJECT A DOSE OF AWESOMENESS INTO YOUR GUITAR SOLOS
Give your guitar technique a shot in the arm and become the lead guitarist your want to be.
This course is going to show you the essential picking techniques that will sharpen your skills, reveal some closely guarded trade secrets and help you play better guitar solos.
In this course I'll show the techniques, strategies and little tricks that have helped me to take my guitar playing from 'just about OK' to expert level. From the basics like 'Alternate Picking' and a super-cool way of spicing up your leads with odd-note-groupings to concepts such as 'Octave Shifting' and 'Tetrachords' - everything is explained in easy-to-follow videos and supported by TAB (and standard notation).
Here is what you will discover:
Alternate picking – the fundamental technique that all others build upon. Includes licks and picking patterns in the style of Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen and others like them.
Inside picking – this closely-guarded technique that can turn a difficult alternate picking lick into an easy-to play one.
Economy picking – this approach will let you play with 30% less effort. Once you understand it you will be able to play faster and with less effort.
Pick 'N' Mix technique – in this section we look at a technique that makes it a breeze to play high-speed runs at a fast tempo.
Bonus Section - learn chromatic warm – ups and Steve Vai's finger-independence exercise
What the media is saying:
“Topics such as Economy Picking, String Skipping and Speedbursts are always explained on the basis of simple exercises and are put into action with licks from masters such as Paul Gilbert or Steve Morse. 4.5 out of 5 stars"
