Angus Young Style Lead Guitar Lesson – EP071
I’ve had several requests through the years to do an Angus Young lesson and I had put it off because I thought it would require a ton of work. I was surprised to see how many Angus Young licks I already knew (I used to listen to AC/DC many years ago), and I guess they just stick with you. He’s a great guitar player and showman, and has stood the test of time because it’s all based in Chicago-style electric blues. It wasn’t until putting this lesson together that I realized how much he is … [Read more...]
Rhythm and Timing Guitar Lesson – EP070
In this guitar lesson I'll show you how to play 2 different R&B rhythms. The first one uses palm muting and has a Freddie King feel to it, the second uses some sliding chords and is a combination of Bo Diddley and Steve Cropper. Outside of learning the notes, the primary focus of this lesson is understanding the timing involved. This lesson can be played on either electric or acoustic guitar. … [Read more...]
Electric Rhythm and Lead Blues Guitar Lesson – EP067
This lesson was created exclusively for premium members. The jam track for this lesson contains only drums and bass, so your goal in this lesson is to play all of the electric parts (just like you would in a blues trio), so you'll alternate back and forth between rhythm and lead. Half of this lesson is devoted to the back and forth (call and response) technique and the other half is devoted to rhythm (timing). … [Read more...]
Warren Haynes Style Guitar Lesson – EP064
I've had so many Warren Haynes requests lately that I had to try and put together a lesson with some of his signature licks. I was very hesitant to do it at first because he's such a fantastic guitar player that I wasn't sure if I could pull something together that did his style any justice. I feel like this is a decent interpretation of his style (although not as much overdrive as he would probably use). I had a great time with this one and will probably create a follow-up if there's enough … [Read more...]
Classic Rock Style Guitar Lesson – EP062
In this guitar lesson, learn how to play a classic rock lead on electric guitar in the style of Jimmy Page and Billy Gibbons. I know, weird combination, but this little riff presented itself to me a few days ago and when I analyzed where those licks came from, I realized they were from both Jimmy Page and Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top). Somehow they work nicely together (maybe those 2 should do a duet album some day). I should also mention that this song switches keys half way from the key of G to C … [Read more...]
SRV (Stevie Ray Vaughan) Style Texas Shuffle Blues Guitar Lesson in A – EP061
This is a Stevie Ray Vaughan inspired shuffle that can be played on either electric or acoustic guitar (electric preferred). I’m using a Boss BD-2 pedal with overdrive at around 40% to get the tone. This lesson is intended for intermediate players, but I always encourage beginners to try because at a minimum you’ll be able to pick up a few new licks. … [Read more...]
