In this month's guitar lesson, I show you how to take legato technique to the next level using nothing but your fretting hand. No guitar pick needed for this exercise!
The month's guitar lesson shows you some basic chords that have a characteristic Flamenco guitar sound. These chords along with the Harmonic Minor scale allow for unlimited creativity with your guitar playing!
This exercise serves as a tribute to one of the most talented guitarists to ever walk the earth - Jason Becker. We go over a famous lick from his song Altitudes to continue our studies into creative use of arpeggios and intervals.
If you are familiar with sweep picking, then forget everything you've learned about playing arpeggios with sweeps. This exercise has you alternate picking an arpeggio sequence, and will do wonders for your alternate picking chops.
This exercise, like last month's, demonstrates how to switch amongst similar scale shapes. Whereas last month, we switched between similar Diatonic shapes, this time we consider similar Diatonic and Harmonic Minor shapes.
In this month's online guitar lesson, we return to a concept that I demonstrated several months ago - alternate picking arpeggios. This guitar exercise will surely take your alternate picking skills to new heights!
