This is especially the case when you’re playing guitar while you’re sitting around the campfire with a bunch of people singing along. As the captain of the ship, you’re dictating where everyone is going with your playing. In this lesson, Nate Savage will take you through some important exercises to help you develop great timing when you play your favorite songs. Primarily, you’ll be focusing on using quarter-note and eighth-note strumming patterns along with an important guitar accessory: a metronome. Timing can take a long time to develop so don’t feel like you need to be perfect overnight. Add some guitar timing exercises to your daily practice routine and you’ll find yourself building a stronger internal sense of timing almost immediately.

Get the FREE Beginner Guitar Starter Kit! ►https://goo.gl/Ts2uU6 When you think about guitar solos, you probably imagine guitarists ripping it up with a pick in their hand. But some of the greatest lead guitar players abandon the pick altogether and just use their fingers. So in this lesson, Andrew Clarke is here to talk about how you can play guitar solos without using a guitar pick by looking at John Mayer and Derek Trucks. Throughout this guitar lesson, you’ll learn about proper hand positioning for fingerpicking, the difference between using your fingernails and the pads of your fingers, how to mute the strings with both hands, flicking technique, and how to fatten notes using adjacent strings. These techniques aren’t easy to pull off, so you may need to take your time with this lesson. At the end of the day, it’s all about developing your style and unique voice on the guitar. Don’t feel like you need to steal everything you learn in this lesson. Just use what sounds good to you.

The Ultimate Blues Guitar Solo Exercise
Get the FREE Beginner Guitar Starter Kit! ►https://goo.gl/Ts2uU6 Download the MP3 Jam Tracks here: ►https://ift.tt/2ybep3M The great thing about playing the blues is that it’s so easy to get into. Learn a quick scale shape and a few techniques and you can jump right into playing some great music. Unfortunately, that’s also the problem… A lot of blues guitarists stop there and end up stuck in a rut with their blues guitar solos. So in this lesson, we’ll look at a great trick for getting out of it! To start, we’ll take a look at the standard 12-bar blues progression. This is the foundation for everything you play. We’ll be playing in the key of “A Blues”, so our progression will be A, D, and E. With the first jam track, we’ll only be playing over the “1 chord” which is an A. Progressively, we’ll add more chords to the track. To do this, we’ll be using the standard blues scale shape. This is a shape you’ll really want to spend time with. It’s a great “home-base” for your guitar solos. Many great blues players over the decades have built entire careers around this shape alone. As you go through each variation of the track, your main goal will be to play the root note of each passing chord. Just doing this will help give your solos structure and do a better job of implying the chord you’re playing over. Add this to your daily practice routine and you’ll notice your solos will improve dramatically in just a few weeks! Follow us! ►Facebook: https://ift.tt/2xExBWI ►Instagram: https://ift.tt/2xyF61r
