Ultimate Lead Guitar Techniques

Master hammer ons in the key of B minor pentatonic, practice pull offs next, and play along with a rhythm backing track around power chords for intermediate guitarists.

Explore pull offs in lesson two, the reverse of hammer ons, with 10 on the B string pulling to 7 in the B minor pentatonic, plus three speed jam tracks.

Master hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides in the B minor pentatonic scale, using the second shape to craft fast, legato licks and blues-inspired phrasing.

Explore hammer ons, pull offs, and slides across the B minor pentatonic in five shapes mapped to the fretboard. Learn to improvise your own licks with jam tracks.

Master vibrato as the guitar's expressive weapon and build legato phrasing with hammer-ons and pull-offs, exploring B minor and D major scale shapes, pentatonic ideas, and modal concepts.

learn bending techniques in the key of B natural minor, using semi and full tones; master vibrato, muting, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides across phrases to build unison bends.

master unison bends with hammer ons, pull offs, slides, and vibrato over jam track two, featuring two core shapes on the B, E, and G strings.

Explore the chromatic scale across the fretboard to map every note, improve alternate picking, and learn how chromatic passing tones integrate with the blues and pentatonic scales in B minor.

Explore passing tones and the blues note over jam track two, building phrases from the B minor pentatonic and blues scale with chromatic passing notes and pull-offs.

Learn to build major and minor triads and their first and second inversions across the guitar neck, and apply these shapes to arpeggios, chord positions, and solo ideas.

Master economy picking across adjacent strings to sweep through triads and inversions using down-down or up-up strokes, then apply major and minor shapes across strings toward arpeggios.

Turn triads into arpeggios, playing chord tones separately, and master sweep picking across E minor, G major, A minor, and D major shapes using pull-offs and hammer-ons.

Master the high-low picking pattern across a five-string E natural minor scale using a three-notes-per-string system. Use it to spice solos and practice with the jam track.

Master the alternate picking quadruplets over the e minor scale using a three-note-per-string pattern, executing four-note groups across the fretboard in descending and ascending sequences.

Master quadruple stacked fourth patterns over the e minor scale on the e and b strings, using open strings with legato and alternate picking.

Practice a triplet-based, three-note-per-string pattern over the G major scale across six strings, linking G major to E natural minor, and develop fast alternate picking through ascending and descending sequences.

Master the G major pentatonic scale through triplet phrasing on a jam track, switching between E minor pentatonic shapes and G major pentatonic positions with hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides.

In lesson 18, ascend through a two-string legato triplet pattern in e minor using 16th-note triplets, hammer-ons and pull-offs, mapped across the fretboard with a full e minor scale map.

Master three-note-per-string legato triplets in E minor, using pull-offs and hammer-ons across the neck, with cross-string patterns and hints of string skipping, hybrid picking, tapping, and tapped harmonics.

Learn to convert triads into arpeggios via string skipping and alternate picking, applying patterns over E minor and D major shapes to move across the fretboard.

Explore natural harmonics at the 12th, 7th, and 5th frets, and tapped harmonics popularized by Edward Van Halen, with practical licks in E minor, D major, and C major.

Explore hybrid picking by combining a plectrum with the middle finger to play triads and pedal points over E minor and C major progressions, with palm muting for clarity.

Learn Eddie Van Halen triad tapping on a string, blending tapping with picking hand and legato over E minor, D major, A minor, and C major triads with open strings.

Explore string skipped arpeggios enhanced with tapping, using E minor, D major, A minor, and C major triads, with hammer-ons, pull-offs, and precise tapping patterns across fret positions.

Learn the guitar solo bar by bar in the keys of E minor and G major, mastering hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, hybrid picking, unison bends, vibrato, arpeggios, tapping, and legato techniques.

Explore bars 13 to 24 of lead guitar techniques, featuring e minor phrasing with passing tones and chromatic arcs, pedal point licks, triad ideas, tapping, economy picking, and bluesy arpeggios.

Master the final eight bars, bars 25 to 32, of the guitar solo, using string-skip arpeggios, legato, and economy or sweet picking, with taps and shifting major and minor shapes.
