Having fun with this beautiful song
This video is made for students of the Synyster Gates Guitar School, but any guitarist can benefit from it. I demonstrate how economy picking can be practiced by playing the intro to the song Hail To The King. Although the lead guitar beyond the intro to this song is not technically economy picking, it is going to teach you the fundamentals of great picking technique. Then you can apply this to all of your playing. Once you get the basic technique down, challenge yourself to learn the intro to this song.

By the way - Analysis

Analysis of by the way by the red Hot Chili Peppers. Basically did the usual thing which is looking at the chord progression and looking for plagal and perfect cadences. Since this song isn't that complicated It's a lot shorter than usual

Here's a quick Minor 2-5-1 hack that I like to use, for all the jazz guys on here You basically play a Major arpeggio from the b5 of the ii chord, the b5 of the V chord, and the b7 of the i chord. Enjoy!

For my homework I really was supposed to focus on incorporating more bends and including a lick he taught me in a written solo. I hope you like it! Feedback encouraged🤗🇺🇲🤗

I decided to post a video of the process of me learning and cleaning up /tightening a new technique. This one I admit I am still having some trouble with but am getting the hang of. real tricky for me to get the two highest notes out and sweep back down through this one but just needs repetition. My muscles are used to other sweeping shapes and this one definitely will pay off to sound better having the notes all picked, but damn. totally explains why nobody else could play The Wicked End solo correctly 😂😂 will be practicing this one again.
Finally back to playing now that my chest ins't trying to end me XD. Thought I'd go back to the CAGED system as I've covered it briefly before but wanted to really work on making sure I understand how it works and how I can use it! Here, I go over the chord shapes and how moving the shapes to different positions creates other chords, and how this process can create all of the chords in different places! I apologise if my words don't make sense, it sounded better in my head. I also apologise for my sucky knowlegde of some chords, I'm working on doing better! So long as I've got this all right, I'll be moving onto each chord's arpeggios next, and then hoping back to scales so I don't burn out! (And hey, don't drop the ball this time, me XD)
Did a little experiment to see how my riff / song thing sounded in drop d. I slightly changed the chorus to suit drop d and also added a little intro run that kinda plays with the main melody. Sorry for bad camera angle and sloppy playing. To the guys that saw my original riff, tell me if you prefer standard or drop d!
Hey guys! I am playing solos and lead guitar on this event. Here are the things that I realized. -Even holding a guitar when you are standing is a whole different thing.I did not expect it to be hard. -Playing with other musicians helped me a lot. Even to be in rehearsals is something else rather than being at home and recording by your own. I support everyone on this to be social ,as an amateur guitar player like most of us. -Appetite for Destruction is a no filler all killer record.
This one had me going for a little over an hour and my fingers are definitely TORN up from the last few days, but well worth it. I’m starting to see the chor...
It was a cover that I made years ago,hope you like it community.

SGS Collab

Here's my solo for the collab. Synching audio is still a bit of a struggle and may have gone slight SRV somewhere in the middle.
Man I shit you not I have been working on this for the last two hours and it’s 3am. These are the lessons I have needed to take my playing to the next level ...
Again...still working on it. Not nailing it, but getting a bit closer I guess...

Untitled new Riff

@[5:@Jak Angelescu] @[1427:@Ed Seith] I remembered it! I was jamming and trying to fit the Chords of my F major progression in different styles. Came up with this riff. It's not my original progression but I am still using most of my chords in there. Especially focused on the Dm and Gm triad. I know @[4668:@Alicia Willis] really likes that minor sound :P
