Guitar Improvisation
Hey @Lakshitaa - I made a quick video explaining what I mentioned above 😊 Here is a Google drive link to all the Major triad shapes (The last shape on the 3rd row has an intentional error that I leave for my students - the note on the b string should be on the g string): I should point out...- Chris Johnston

Guitar Improvisation
Great topic! I had this exact same frustration a few years back. The thing that completely changed my playing was learning how to use Major & Minor triads and their inversions all over the neck. I'll try and make a video this weekend explaining it and I'll upload it on here 👌 The way it would...- Chris Johnston

Coming Back And Wanting To Catch Up
Hey Jak, hope all is well on your end! I've not been on Synner much recently admittedly, as I've been absolutely slammed week to week with my Teaching business. However since my old Indie band ended I've started another project with my best friend and I've been writing A LOT of metal again...- Chris Johnston

Advanced Sweep Picking
I second this for sure - it doesn't give it's self up easily. Patience is key 😊 Going purely from what you've said, it sounds as if you are possibly playing with your left hand wrist, slightly 'over bent'. When you talk about not being able to sweep back down, this seems like undue tension in...- Chris Johnston

What scale is this?
Yeah that's right 👌 So if you're starting it on C (assuming that's the half step lead in) then that would lead you into C#/Db Augmented with the notes: Db F A. Because the Arpeggio is symmetrical, any note can be considered the root, so F Augmented works perfectly 😊- Chris Johnston

What scale is this?
Looking at the red notes it and playing through them, it seems to me like you're accessing a Bb Augmented arpeggio from a half step below each note, so you could definitely use it over a Bb Augmented, Bb Major chord, Bb5 chord, Bb altered dominant etc For the notes on the right hand side, they...- Chris Johnston
