Hello All,

 

The promised lessons will be coming soon, so start warming up your fingers and getting ready to learn how to play some basic blues.

 

Till then i would recommend to all guitar players to just enjoy the world cup 2010.

 

The first lesson will be put up most probably on the 20th of june(that means next saturday), then you will have 1 week to practice the lessona dn ask questions till the next lesson.

 

Why am i doing this? well because i want people who want to learn how to play the guitar, but can't afford private tutors or don't have enough time to go to a music school etc...to get a change to learn for free the basics of how to play simple blues songs.

 

If i get a lot of feedback, then i will extend the lessons till intermediate level.

 

Hope this will help you.

Hello there,

Here are two more interesting ways to practice scales. Not only do you get to know the scale better, but you also get to practice string skipping and sequences(not the mathematical kind).

Well as i already said you can practice your scale by using string skipping...your thinking what the heck is string skipping. Well it literally means to skip a string. So if you are playing the pentatonic scale.Play the 1-st string then play the notes on the 3-rd string. Then go back up 1 string (2-nd string)play the notes on the that string and now skip the 3-rd string and go directly to the 4-th string....and keep on doing that till you reach the last string.Then try string skipping as you descend the scale!

The other way to practice a scale would be sequences...I would advice you to start out with seqquences of fours using the peantatonic scale...So all you need to do is play the first 4 notes of the scale then go back to the 2nd note that you played and play another 4 notes from there. You do this till you reach the last string...you can also youtube sequences i bet someone would have posted something about sequences already!

have fun practicing!

Wow!! it's been a long time since i last wrote something usefull...well.

I have something good for you people i have found a site where beginners can actually learn sometihng new, but the only problem is...that it doesn't explain to you what you learn...so if you need help understanding what you are playing leave me a comment with your question in it and i will try my best to answer as soon as possible....

here is the link.....enjoy!

Practice everyday!!!! cause that's the only way your gonna get better!

After a long break which i decided to take...I am finally back with new inspiration and great tips and tricks for guitar players. I have, fot the past 3 months, worked on many aspects that i used to think i already knew. But when i repeated all that i knew. I felt like i got a better grasp on things.

I worked on scales, modes, and warm-up exercises. I will in the next days try and post up some of the exercises that i saw being used and used myself.

It's great to be back....

Have a BLAST!!!!
