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 month's free online guitar lesson is an excerpt from Paganini's Caprice XVI. This guitar lesson will help with coordination as there is a tremendous amount of position shifting.
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!
This month's free guitar lesson examines the use of intervals to add variety to scales. This guitar lesson also has the benefit of improving coordination as there is a great deal of finger position shifting and alternate picked notes on adjacent guitar strings.
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.
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.
