We will get started by taking a look at the first 24 measures of the piece. In these measures we will come across a myriad of techniques that are used throughout the piece. Once you are proficient with these first 24 measures then you can rest assured that the remainder of the piece is in your grasp!
This guitar lesson is a follow on from my previous guitar lesson. In the previous guitar lesson we loked at the opening bars of Bach's Prelude in Dm. In this lesson we look at the entire piece.
This guitar lesson revisits classical music as a means to continue the never ending quest to achieve technical mastery on the guitar. The guitar lesson uses Bach's Prelude in Dm as a basis for further developing alternate picking technique.
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 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 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!
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!
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.
