Introduction
Callum Bair introduced us to "Flying Solo: Beginner Rock"!
Sliding In
In our first lick, we will look at how the simple concept of a slide can transform a boring scale shape into a musical statement.
Making it Sing: Vibrato
The greatest guitarists always seem to have some magical touch that makes their instrument sing. In this lesson, we will look at a lick that makes use of vibrato, so we can work towards an intuitive touch on our instrument to make even the simplest lines memorable.
Moving Up: Half-Step Bends
In addition to vibrato and sliding, there's another basic technique that explores the vocal quality of our guitar: Bending. In this lesson, we will learn a lick that uses half-step bends, and discuss some general pointers for improving our finger strength on the guitar.
Moving Up More: Whole-Step Bends
Following up on our introduction to half-step bends, we will now push even further to whole-step bends!
Solo 1: Smokehouse
Learning short two-bar licks can be exciting, but then the obvious question arises: How do I use these? In this lesson, we will learn a blues-rock solo that uses all of our licks in context, to introduce us to the craft of lead guitar.
Hammer Time
Have you ever wished that the lead guitar had a cheat code? While hammer-ons won't solve all of your problems, learning them can be a great avenue to playing fast on your instrument without having to worry as much about your right hand.
