I took a respectable “runner up” position behind Kelly Kereliuk, a fine guitarist and teacher who, as it turns out, probably lives within 20 kms from me. Us runner ups get a signed CD.
Ok, that was a nice distraction......back to writing and recording lessons....

The Audience is Listening Intro

This intro has always fascinated me. I struggled a bit when learning it, so I thought I’d see if I can impart a bit of wisdom here and spare someone some aggravation.
It’s got a funky groove to it and I’ve seen a lot of people trying to play it but the rhythm always falls apart.
I’m a huge Steve Vai fan. There may be more of his stuff to come.
Play hard!

Descending Harmonic Minor Lick

Here it is folks, my first official lesson. It’s a bit advanced but pretty easy to follow along with. Just practice slow and work on accuracy. You’ll build up your speed as your fingers get used to the pattern.
It’s what I call a 4 over 3 scale pattern. 4 notes on 1 string and 3 on the other to make 7 notes in the scale. It’s a very efficient way of moving scales up and down.
Here I’m applying it in a very “Yngwie” (ish) style in A harmonic minor. It can be used in any mode and with any pattern. I’ll have a lot of examples of this in the members only section, along with different pattern types.
There will be a pile of lessons for you beginners soon enough. Some of it might seem ridiculously simple to the more advanced players, but it’s geared specifically for people just starting and with little or no experience.
Play hard!
