Ariel Posen

A lifelong musician, there are few roles Ariel Posen hasn't played.

Although born in Winnipeg, Posen spent much of his childhood on the road, traveling from show to show with his musician parents. He began playing guitar at 9 years old, kicking off a career that eventually found him traveling the globe for his own gigs, including shows as a member of the Juno Award-winning, roots-rock band The Bros. Landreth. Several years later, Posen began working on an album of his own, tracking his new songs in the same studio in which his parents once recorded their albums.

How Long marks Posen's long-awaited solo debut, showcasing not only his chops as an instrumentalist but his talents as a diverse songwriter, too. The record casts a wide net, moving from rootsy blues to R&B to melodic rock & roll. A co-writer and producer for artists of all genres, Posen shows the full range of his talents on these 10 tracks, nodding to his influences — including The Beatles and many more — along the way. How Long is not a guitar record, although there's certainly plenty of guitar to be heard here. Instead, it's a song record, filled with hooks, autobiographical lyrics, and Posen's compelling voice.

Great teacher!

I just finished my first Ariel Posen course (Scales) and it was outstanding. A guitarist and teacher who obviously knows his stuff but also knows how to motivate us. Highly recommended and will be taking other courses from him in the future.

What you didn't know you would learn.....

So... I'm going through the Triads for Rhythm course because I wanted to not only be able to figure out where the triads were all located but WHAT TO DO WITH THEM. Here's the thing about Ariel Posen; If you pay attention, you'll learn tips and tricks that you never thought of. For example: How to count up from the root to find the next position. Sound simple? I didn't know that. Also, he shows little fills that are super cool and easy, that are performed with sort of a "hand/finger" roll. Makes adding little embellishments a lot easier. He changes styles with each module so you can pick up different ways to use triads and make them your own-sort of. As soon as I am through this I am going to go through the triads for soloing course. AGAIN.... watch him... NOT just the course material, but the little tricks he uses that are second nature to him but will teach you things you didn't think you needed to know....
