    Keys, Chords, and Scales

    Hey @MiNDSHiFT ! That's a great question! Here comes a book 😂 Firstly, Think of a Key as an invisible musical handbook - non-physical, not specific to your Guitar but instead to all music. It's like a musical cheat sheet in your head! To answer your question: You can use as many chord...

    Tasteless Ab Lydian Improv

    A rough phone recording of me having a (mostly) Lydian shred to take my mind off of this lockdown - I decided to leave my slip ups and mistakes in too. Enjoy :D !

    Hey guys, just a heads up to apologise. I was supposed to upload a video of Pentatonic Tips a while ago and a bunch of things got in the way of the edit - i.e - this virus fiasco and losing a lot of work! :rolleyes: I promise I'll upload something soon! I hope everyone's doing well and...

    What are you doing while being stuck at home?

    The UK is pretty much business as usual at the moment so - against the W.H.O's advice. But that's our PM for you :D I'm spending time working on my arpeggios on my day off 🤟

    Thanks Sebastian! I'm not sure how long it took me to learn to be honest because I was chipping away at it for a while technique wise. In terms of how I learned it, it was completely by ear. If someone had presented me with a tab, it would've taken me 3 times as long to learn the solo 😂 I tend...

    Guitar injuries

    One small thing I found that really changed the way I played was that loosening my grip on my pick slightly in order to pick quicker. It's something that never even dawned on me and when I tried it, the guitar just seemed easier to play :D

    Hey guys, hope you're all well :D just an update regarding my post about a Minor Pentatonic Improv Hacks video: I have 90% of it done, I just need to film a few more parts and do an edit. I'm just wondering if it would be more beneficial to post 1 or 2 lengthy videos or to split the info into...

    Funny Thing Papa Said

    Just reading this I think I'm gonna need to properly watch the CAGED system videos! 'cause I've never actually used it in my playing 👀

    Comment by 'Chris Johnston' in media 'Sweep Picking IV - Synyster Gates School - Syn's Etudes'

    I think that's the part yeah! Basically at the point where the rhythm of the sweeps change to their quickest and there's 2 inversions of the sweep per chord (if that makes sense 😂)

    It's really just connecting all 4 seamlessly that gets me to be honest!

    So sick man! This is one I've been trying to perfect for a while. For me it's connecting the fast 16th triplet arpeggios at the end that always trips me up, any tips for that? 😍

    Sounding tight Jak! Especially those down stroked parts. Definitely something I need to sit down and practice more :P

    I cannot confirm or deny this information 😂 But yup! Going through a Marshall practice amp with some reverb and delay and you get get the sounds pretty easily

    Thank you, that means alot! Hahaha 😂 I could see how that title tricked your eyes. So an elbow is this little electronic device that somehow vibrates your string so that it sounds like it's being bowed 😊 I'm a big fan of orchestral music so I wanted to take a stab at something soundtracky...
