Play Blues Lead Guitar Review 

I've just finished looking at Griff Hamlin's latest
package, Playing Through The Blues - A Guide For The
Lead Guitar Player.

Learning the blues can be a frustrating task. It seems
so simple, but only a handful of people seem to know
the trick to really making it sound great. Griff and
his team have put together what I believe is a really
thorough, step-by-step method that has actually been
tested and proven on his own guitar students over the
past several years.

The main book provides all of the scales, techniques,
theory, and tricks that you'll need. It follows a
simple and logical progression. Each chapter builds on
the one before it. At the end of each chapter, you'll
be told exactly what you need to be able to do before
moving on to the next chapter. You can't fail with this.

The best part, however, is the audio examples and jam
tracks. Every audio example comes with a full speed
and slow speed version, so you can play along easily
at first, and pick up the pace as you get better.

There's also 4 complete solos that really sound like
they are from your favorite blues songs. You could
memorize them and totally use them at your next blues
jam or gig. They demonstrate all of the techniques
throughout the book, and give a very good "real world"
example of the techniques and approach.

Also, there are 6 jam tracks that come with the
package, so once you get going you can just play
along with the band. And the tracks are really good
quality, just like you're jamming with a real band.
It's a lot of fun.

As a bonus Griff has included an excellent book full
of turnaround and ending licks. Some of them are
pretty straight forward blues, but a couple of them
are real head-turners.

As you can tell, I'm really impressed with this
package as a whole. The testimonials on the website
prove that I'm not alone. This is a very well thought
out, tested, and put together system.

Don't just take my word for it though, take a look
for yourself at:

Blues Scale For Guitar

When I was a younger guitarist I used to watch in awe at players that could effortlessly jam with other's playing lick after lick of great lead guitar. I thought I would never be that good until I learned the blues scale for guitar. The blues scale opened my eyes to the world of improvisation and within a month I was up there jamming along with them. This article will show you how to play a blues scale for guitar and also give a few pointers on successfully using it to play lead guitar.

First a little background on the blues scale for guitar. The blues scale is derived from the minor pentatonic scale. If you play a minor pentatonic and add one note (the flatted fifth) you get the blues scale. This added note is what gives the scale its sad, dark quality. In medieval times the flatted fifth was known as the 'The Devil's Note' and its use banned in some kingdom's. Today though people are more forgiving of this unusual tone and some actual prefer it. The blues scale can be found in almost al forms of music whether it be rock, jazz, blues, heavy metal, and other world music.

Here is a diagram of the Blues Scale for Guitar

¦--X--¦------¦------¦--X--¦
¦--X--¦------¦------¦--X--¦
¦--X--¦------¦--X--¦--O--¦
¦--X--¦------¦--X--¦------¦
¦--X--¦--O--¦--X--¦------¦
¦--X--¦------¦------¦--X--¦

The X's and O's represent the notes that make up the blues scale. The O's are the flatted fifth or 'blue' note. If you were to omit these notes from the pattern you would be left with the minor pentatonic scale.

How to use the Blues Scale for Guitar

The scale pattern I have shown above can be played starting any fret of your guitar. It works well over minor chords, power chords and Dominant seventh chords. Practice the scale up and down until you memorize the notes well enough to do it without looking. Then try juggling them around to come up with your own licks.

Cool blues guitar trick: Play a note not in the scale and bend or slide into the note that is in the scale. You will have to experiment with this one because not all outside notes will sound as pleasing as other's but this is a really cool sound that will instantly make you sound like a pro.

For more tips and ideas on playing the blues scale for guitar try listening to some of your favorite rock and blues bands. See if you can jam along, or try to pick out what they are playing. Just remember to have fun with it first and then before you know it you will be able to jam out some blues and rock with anyone.

John Robert has been playing guitar for longer than he can remember. Aside from teaching guitar for the last three years he enjoys writing articles about playing blues guitar and other guitar related topics.

Play Lead Guitar 

There comes a time in almost every aspiring guitarists young life where simply learning your favorite rock 'n' roll songs isn't enough. You want to learn to play lead guitar so that you can sound just like all your favorite guitar heroes. Playing lead guitar will take a lot of dedication and practice on your part. This article will help you discover the three most important factors needed to learn to play lead guitar.

To learn to play lead guitar you will first need to learn some scales. There are tons of scales you can learn but for starters I suggest learning the pentatonic scale. It is the easiest and most widely used scale in any form of music. You should practice scales everyday for at lest 10 - 20 minutes until you can play then with out even thinking about them. Whenever you master one scale move on to the next.

Another important step if you want to learn to play lead guitar is to get a tablature book of your favorite guitar solos or try to pick hem out by ear. Learning how to play other guitarists solos will greatly improve your own playing. Take notice of what scales they are using and how they play them. You might also want to consider getting a book full of different lead guitar licks. The more licks and scales you can master the more unique and fluid your own solos will be.

The last thing you should practice is improvising. Take 10 - 20 minutes of your practice time to jam along with your favorite songs. If you have a way of recording your self you might even make up your own rhythm and try to solo over it. When improvising try to think of the notes in your head and then play then on the guitar. Improvisation is one of the hardest things to master, but it is by far the most spontaneous and fun thing you can do with any guitar.

If you spend 30 - 45 minutes a day doing the three things listed above you will learn to play lead guitar very quickly. Spend some time learning scales, other peoples solos, and finally try to put it all together in your own improvisational solos. It can be difficult to learn to play lead guitar, but whenever you get discouraged just remember that you are doing this because it is fun.

John Robert has been playing guitar longer than he can remember. His innovative teaching techniques have helped many guitarists maximize their practice time for optimal playing potential. You can learn to play lead guitar using the same hidden secrets he teaches by visiting Guitar-Scale-Mastery.info.

Lead Guitar Solos 

Guitar and Rock music are inseparable and probably one of the main reasons for this is that most rock numbers or compositions have short or prolonger lead guitar solos. The lead guitar solos can be mastered by using different scales and guitar improvisation techniques like hybrid picking and legato technique.

There is such a huge variety of guitar improvisation techniques available that you can practice solos all your life and yet not find the end. It is infinite! One such guitar improvisation technique is called hybrid picking. Hybrid picking can add an absolutely new dimension to the sound that is rendered by your lead guitar. This is a type of guitar improvisation technique that is most commonly used by guitarists in music genres or styles like blues, rock, country, bluegrass, and even jazz. One of guitar legends who has used hybrid picking very effectively is Stevie Ray Vaughan. He used it for rendering a solo in Lenny Here's a small exercise in hybrid picking that you can try:

e-0--0--0--0--0--0-

b--1--1--1--1--1---

g------------------

d------------------

a------------------

E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

You can increase the speed as you become comfortable with the above and move on to this:

e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-

b----------------------

g----------------------

d-2-3-0-0-0-2-3-/5-5-0-

a----------------------

E----------------------

Hybrid picking is a guitar improvisation technique where you pick the guitar strings or chords using the fingers as well as the pick at the same time. The advantage is that you will be able to use your plectrum to play lead guitar that normally requires the fingerstyle mode of playing.

You will also be able to make wide string leaps like you can leap from the 5th string right to the 1st string, which can be quite a difficult exercise otherwise. To effectively use the hybrid picking guitar improvisation technique, you will need to your pick between your forefinger and thumb.

Legato Technique

The legato technique is another effective guitar improvisation technique that renders slurred notes quite similar to the notes rendered through hammer-on's and pull-offs. Here is a small exercise that includes some kick ass legato licks:

e-----------5--7--8--7--5----------

b---------------------------8------

g----------------------------------

d----------------------------------

a----------------------------------

e----------------------------------

Legato guitar improvisation technique has been effectively used for solo performance by the likes of Joe Satriani, Alan Holdsworth, and Steve Vai. The above notes that form the legato technique will require you to hammer the notes without picking. You should ideally play this at 60bpm.
