If you’re just learning guitar, getting started with playing solos might seem daunting. It’s a big change to go from strumming chords to your favorite songs, to playing lead lines. The best thing is to start out easy, but not too easy. The more you challenge yourself, the better a guitarist you’ll become. Just remember to take everything in bite size chunks as you’re learning. To help you get started with solos, I’m recommending a couple that I’d learn if I was just getting started - one from three different genres. The feeling of learning and playing lead is amazing. Let’s get into it.
The wah pedal has been one of the most amazing effects of the past couple of decades. Countless players from Hendrix to Vai, Hammett to Slash and more have made use of these awesome boxes right under their feet. In this post I’ll go over 25 of the best wah players of all time, including songs you should check out if you want to get creative with the pedal.
Reading lots of books and practicing what’s inside of them is one of the quickest ways to become a better musician. You get the author’s years and years of knowledge, and for what books typically cost, that’s a crazy good value. You know what’s even better? When I’m giving a guitar book away each month!
Today’s new video focuses on 3 easy finger exercises every guitarist can incorporate into their practice schedule. You can also use these while warming up before a gig! If you practice these for just 5 minutes a day, you’ll notice better flexibility, better hand strength, and the ability to tackle trickier musical situations, without fatiguing your hand.
40 exercises done, 10 to go. If I keep working at the rate I did tonight, look for it on sale Monday. 😁✌🏻🎸 https://t.co/yzKPH8vI75
