<span style="font-size: large;">In this lesson, I’m going to show you how good advice applied at the wrong time can become bad advice. If you are not developing your guitar skills as fast as you would like to, it is probably because you aren’t focusing on the right things.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
This is a VERY important post for any guitar player who is still studying how to develop their playing skills because despite all the great advice you’ve been given, you may still be in a place where you’re not progressing enough in your practice.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/xG8dGXRZHl0" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/xG8dGXRZHl0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8XtQkBqaeeI/X-zlaFrpA1I/AAAAAAAAUPs/bJ43Q-UGZWodHFcn4JVud4NT7Lqjx9UDQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/do-this-before-you-play-Vid-Link.png" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to developing your “feel and your skill for music,” there is a powerful approach that you really need to look into. And, I’m going to start into this topic with a pretty profound statement and that is, “Good Practice done in the Wrong Way Becomes Poor Practice.”
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
If you sit down to practice guitar and you go over ideas that you are familiar with – especially ideas that are either really easy or ideas that never make you feel like you’re stretching your ability, then I need to introduce you to a way that will help you to fix that! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">What often happens is you’ll hear one teacher tell you that you need to work on rhythm, rhythm is the most important. Then, another teacher might say; you need to study scale and arpeggios - that’s what is really the most important. Then, some other teacher say’s no, no, no the most important thing is composing - you need to always be composing.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
Those things individually are not what’s keeping you down. It’s focusing on things “isolated.” The bottom line is that, isolation is not the best way to get your skills together fast. Rather, spending the time to blend a group of ideas into a system will end up working wonders!

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE ULTIMATE PRACTICE SYSTEM:</b><br />Before you sit down to play or practice guitar again, I want you to learn how to integrate a powerful practice system. The system uses five PHASES in its development. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Phase 1 of the “System” involves rhythm. And, to keep it simple, I’d suggest just grabbing a drum clip, or creating a loop that’s maybe 4-bars in length. Ultimately, a drum machine is great for this stuff. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
<b>Phase 1</b>). <br />Find and begin playback of the Drum Loop.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Phase two involves selecting a key to work in and then choosing a group of
chords to play over the drum beat! So, let’s get into the first two
phases right now. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Phase 2</b>). <br />Choose the key that you will work in (we’ll choose C Minor). </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eoEiFq0zGkM/X-zH6Ye8HgI/AAAAAAAAUPI/xv6ZeRH5JUUjPAhQU1wKClPHOBRw6_IYwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/C-minor-key.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="1000" height="100" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eoEiFq0zGkM/X-zH6Ye8HgI/AAAAAAAAUPI/xv6ZeRH5JUUjPAhQU1wKClPHOBRw6_IYwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h100/C-minor-key.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Phase 3</b>). <br />Select a group of chord voicings on the neck to work with from within the chosen key signature.Review the group of selected chords (shown below):</span><br /><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lX5UH13pP30/X-zEqLTOxwI/AAAAAAAAUPA/JABvnkWqnw0CQvhe2-S2giuXWWH5Ayg7QCLcBGAsYHQ/s836/chords_grids_001.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="253" data-original-width="836" height="121" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lX5UH13pP30/X-zEqLTOxwI/AAAAAAAAUPA/JABvnkWqnw0CQvhe2-S2giuXWWH5Ayg7QCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h121/chords_grids_001.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Practice the chords

<p> </p>
<span style="font-size: large;">The key to getting cool sounding guitar riffs is to realize that guitar riffs, (just like guitar licks), are something that can be done with persistence while playing around with a uniform shape on the guitar neck for only a matter of minutes.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
While there may not be any such thing as a "riff exercise," the best thing that you can do to have the results happen much faster is to develop "riff ideas" that are based out of a small uniform neck shape. This video accomplishes that very thing - and it does so very fast!
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
I see so many guitarists trying to get riffs together using large "in position" scale patterns, but those large shapes all too often will not help a guitar player get the coolest riffs together. So, if you hate not being able to make up cool guitar riffs quickly and easily, then this video is going to be great for you. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/UhJC0IaRs0U" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/UhJC0IaRs0U" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lXrukY0XQ_8/X-iy2K-4etI/AAAAAAAAUNo/xzzhDBiNLNwunLJdOS0Oh5_orUSJihuZQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/just-once-master-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In this lesson we’re going to help you both be able to play through and memorize an excellent shape on the guitar neck that will go a very long way toward helping you develop the coolest sounding guitar riffs.
</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Along with that, we’ll study an easy approach you can use to expand upon that shape. And then, after all of that we’ll learn a very cool sounding guitar riff which will be based out of that shape. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">By the end of this video, you’ll have a GREAT way to create guitar riffs, along with a way to expand on it all. Plus, you’ll have a very cool riff that you can practice (as well as build upon) to invent your own ideas into the future! <i>So, let’s get started…
</i></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE MAIN PATTERN</b>: <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Example 1). Let’s get started by learning this lesson’s pattern. It’s based out of a scale shape of (in this case), “C Minor Pentatonic.” </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-246z85CdmaY/X-izpAsx7gI/AAAAAAAAUNw/bOICvH9-c74cRDXnzzXFfOjE_IzkyFe3ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1410/roof-top-riff-shape.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="1410" height="145" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-246z85CdmaY/X-izpAsx7gI/AAAAAAAAUNw/bOICvH9-c74cRDXnzzXFfOjE_IzkyFe3ACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h145/roof-top-riff-shape.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I’ll like to have some fun and call this pattern the “Roof-Top” pattern, because the shape of it looks like the top of a house. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WDR6u25_KJw/X-i1b7w3PfI/AAAAAAAAUN4/Job5oQLg58YdG8fTLdS0RE-RXwwWtsInACLcBGAsYHQ/s1410/roof-top-riff-shape-with-icon.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="1410" height="145" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WDR6u25_KJw/X-i1b7w3PfI/AAAAAAAAUN4/Job5oQLg58YdG8fTLdS0RE-RXwwWtsInACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h145/roof-top-riff-shape-with-icon.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Pro-Tip</b>: Just realize that this is just a gimmick that I like to use to help guitar players memorize how the shape looks as it’s sitting upon the neck.
</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Coming up next, I’m going to break down a way to expand upon our shape, and then we’ll get into how the pattern can be used to create a really cool sounding riff. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer that I have for a collection of some of the most popular handouts that I use here in my studio, it’s my;

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 02</b>). The next stage of learning about how to use this shape will be based upon expanding the pattern to allow it more lateral coverage. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The goal will be to help you see the shape more stretched out laterally. Doing this will help to get us a little more mileage out of how it sits upon the fingerboard. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We'll begin by placing a focus upon the upper "Bb and Eb" notes that sit on the 3rd and 2nd guitar strings.</span><br /></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_580JvYTSek/X-i18cqAD0I/AAAAAAAAUOA/JFNNGlyxsLYjSIoqXTwJQlveQFChyRH_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1410/roof-top-riff-shape-Eb-Bb-circled.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="513" data-original-width="1410" height="145" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_580JvYTSek/X-i18cqAD0I/AAAAAAAAUOA/JFNNGlyxsLYjSIoqXTwJQlveQFChyRH_wCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h145/roof-top-riff-shape-Eb-Bb-circled.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We'll additionally locate those two notes upon our 5th and 4th guitar strings. This will help to expand upon our fingerboard range when it comes to the actual use of the notes available.</span><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pFDMKRDUzHA/X-i2hTWckDI/AAAAAAAAUOI/QdlTA68vI64KahYJ1eQv9RbMZ8bNu6VoACLcBGAsYHQ/s1449/roof-top-shape-extended-with-circle.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="528" data-original-width="1449" height="146" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pFDMKRDUzHA/X-i2hTWckDI/AAAAAAAAUOI/QdlTA68vI64KahYJ1eQv9RbMZ8bNu6VoACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h146/roof-top-shape-extended-with-circle.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the end, our shape will look as follows:</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4UCvl8t4VHI/X-i21S-fnuI/AAAAAAAAUOQ/YnvSsSKky1Y3GkChjoIyRbEswxVadFDzwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1449/roof-top-shape-extended.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="528" data-original-width="1449" height="146" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4UCvl8t4VHI/X-i21S-fnuI/AAAAAAAAUOQ/YnvSsSKky1Y3GkChjoIyRbEswxVadFDzwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h146/roof-top-shape-extended.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>RIFF CREATION:</b><br />Now the cool thing about learning this pattern is how versatile it can be for developing guitar riffs that are really interesting in how they sound. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The fact is that this riff is based out of the Pentatonic and the limited notes of that scale actually help to have big role in all of this. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The Pentatonic structure goes a long way in helping us to produce; more musical, very catchy melodic sounds – all based out of the pattern. Especially, when we apply 2-note ideas, (or what guitar players will call, “Double-Stops”).</span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;">With their multi-dimensional freedoms, the application of these 10 skills will allow a player to consider many different concepts behind the range of guitar development and they will offer a guitarist a great deal of stability to be able to begin use of them properly.

That said, choosing the best course of action as a guitarist can be quite a challenge since there are so many options to choose from. In this video, I picked the 10 best things to know and I also give you a reason why each one has earned its spot on the list. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://youtu.be/uHEIYuizqUk" target="_blank">WATCH THE VIDEO</a>:</b></span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/uHEIYuizqUk" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2meBWOYCLK0/X-OFR2s8vEI/AAAAAAAAUNA/nibRwg-Dr34k2eMDck8hCahtGkb4wOm5ACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/10-things-to-Understand-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> <br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>10x BETTER:</b><br />We’re continuing with our 10x Better Series (check out the play-list on the channel), with a new video here today talking about 10 things that every guitarist should have and should know. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In this list we’ll cover ideas that will help you produce more as a guitar player, we’ll discuss playing confidence and how you can start working on your playing with more energy and more focus. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I also have a small favor to ask of you, and that is if you have some of your own tips that you can add, please leave them in the comments. Share anything that you think would be helpful to those who are watching this!
</span></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1). INVEST IN YOURSELF:</b><br />The first thing I want to talk about is the most important and it has to do with YOU investing in your skills (invest in yourself w/education). Make that your TOP priority because the more you that you know, the more that you'll be able to produce as a guitarist and as a musician. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The results will come a lot faster if your general understanding of music is at a higher level and if your technical ability is more skillful. Think about it this way, if you are not a highly skilled guitar player and if you are not proficient with the theory of music then the ease at which you approach playing music will not be the same. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Make your first priority, your TOP priority in the important musical areas of; music theory and technical skill for playing the guitar and mastering the art of musicianship!

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2). ALWAYS PUT HEALTH FIRST:</b><br />The 2nd area that I want to focus on is the area of health. And, what I want to tell you is this; all of us want to be able to stay better focused on our music! And, to accomplish that, you have got to LIVE well to be able to Play well. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you feel terrible all the time, if you eat garbage food, if you never exercise, if you can’t get a good night’s sleep – then you need to start working on these areas. For starters, invest in a good bed - sleep better – start there! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And, stop eating junk food, eat healthy, eat from the food groups and stop over-eating. Also, do something every day to get your heart pumping, (exercise). Even if it’s just nothing more than a brisk walk, or perhaps do 50 jumping jacks in your living room, 50 knee taps, anything. Seriously people, LIVE BETTER. If you do, you WILL play music better.</span></p>

<p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3). MAINTAIN YOUR GEAR:</b><br />The third thing has to do with taking the time to maintain all of your musical equipment so that EVERYTHING you own is always in top working condition. All of your equipment should always be totally dependable. Everything you have should be reliable, and that includes your; amps, your main guitars, and really any and all of your other equipment. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Also buy quality, if you stick to buying and owning top quality musical items, it really doesn’t take a lot of work to maintain them. So the real idea here is that of not to neglect the little things, with your equipment. The small things (when ignored) can - over time - work their way into becoming bigger problems. So, maintain your equipment, that way when you want to play or record, everything is always ready to go and will be in top working order.
</span></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4). PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR CONFIDENCE:</b><br />The fourth thing is to never stop working on improving your confidence as a musician - which translates out to the crowd as your “playing energy.” All too often, there are way too many musicians that I meet who just don’t remember that as a musician you are an entertainer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You cannot be a musician and forget the fact that you have a job to entertain people. So, make sure that you realize this and that you are always developing a mental clarity for this - because it’s a huge factor of who we are as musicians. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Of course we all need to study our craft (to be more confident when we compose and perform music). But, never forget that we are entertainers above all else, so our confidence is paramount if we are going to be able to deliver the music to others in the best possible way - so that the audience is always entertained.
</span></p><p><br /></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5). MUSIC IS A BUSINESS:</b><br />The fifth thing is - no matter where you are in the scope of being a guitar player keep an interest level going for always understanding how the music business works. This will allow you insight on so many levels, from music styles all the way to what type of songs to include in your rehearsal and your set-list. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Plus, paying attention to the business of music will help us keep in mind for how the music industry changes year over year. The music business isn't the same as it was in 2000 or how it was in 2010. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now, in 2020 (that we’re having to deal with the restrictions of Covid 19), the industry has gone more online than it ever was before. So, always keep yourself tuned into how the music business works, and where it is headed at all times. </span></p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6). RE-INVEST IN YOURSELF:</b><br />The sixth idea is all about being and working smarter by investing in yourself. And, while it could be more directed toward those guitar players who are professionals, it does have room to apply to all of us. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As you get better, (or for professionals, as you earn more income), be sure to re-invest in yourself and in your gear, in your guitars, your computers and all of your equipment.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Take online courses and educate yourself. Always continue to expand your knowledge for anything related to guitar and to music! This will include continuing to keep trying new things in your musical directions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Talk to, play with and record with other musicians as much as you can. Build up a collection of good recording equipment, learn how to keep it all clean, learn how to fix it, and if you can even how to repair your own music equipment (as much as you can repair it yourself is dependent upon the tools that you own). Also, learn ways for doing different things that allow you to lower your overall musical expenses and keep more money in your pocket.</span><br /></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>7). DISCOVER YOUR OWN PLAYING STYLE:</b><br />The seventh idea has to do with coming to terms and realizing – fully and completely - what style of playing that it is that YOU feel is your most NATURAL music style to play - for YOU! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Every one of us has our own style of playing music that just feels the most natural to us. And, if you’ve never tapped into this before, (as many guitar players haven’t), or even if you’ve never thought about this before, (again as most musicians don’t), then you need to start. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The faster that you can get your musical thoughts and your technical side of playing wrapped around what music style is the most natural feeling to you, the quicker and easier it will be for you to start shaping your approach to playing music. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Your natural playing approach isn't hard to discover. It will always be the one that just seems to come across to you as being the easiest path into the creation of music. And, from that point of playing everything you perform just feels easier once you discover this. Including how you compose and how you improvise.</span></p><p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/pages.php?page=cart&action=details&vid=17" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bec9YfcraWA/VNo0CWEB5CI/AAAAAAAADrI/TyCHxlUoPns/s1600/accel-ad-301x251-web.jpg" /></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>8). FOCUS ON MASTERING YOUR STYLE:</b><br />The eighth idea is connected to the seventh. And, it involves learning to master your style in as much depth as possible. The three main areas that you need to focus on in this department are; Melody, Harmony and Rhythm. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">To accomplish this you need to learn music that you really enjoy listening to. And, the music needs to be composed by musicians that you admire. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now, this is important stuff - even though it might seem kind of superficial (in a way) it’s very important because if you start down the path of learning the music that is composed by the songwriters who you admire, it will help you to gain THE BEST perspective for that music style and the musical direction that is ultimately the best direction for you personally as a musician.
</span></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>9). KEEP IT SIMPLE:</b><br />The ninth thing that every guitarist should have is a mind-set of always keeping it simple. Avoid too much complexity and never go too fast too soon. The reason for this is that the more complex you get when you’re making music, the more likely it will be for you to get lost in the music that you’re either trying to play or compose. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you work your way through ideas that are simple and manageable yet keep learning new material at a very steady pace, you’ll get your musical ideas organized in a very solid way. In fact, they’ll be so well memorized (and so well committed to your physical ability to perform them), the music you play will become firmly integrated into your guitar playing.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>10). ALWAYS REMAIN RELAXED:</b><br />The tenth idea is one of the most important ones. And, this idea centers around that you have got to make your number one priority that of staying as relaxed as you possibly can when you are playing anything. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Pay attention for any muscle tightness in your body, be very conscious about remaining loose, and when you play music verbally say to yourself “relax.” What can be helpful is to make a mantra of speaking calmly to yourself when you play.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">This relaxed nature will go a long way to keeping your mind balanced and at ease when you perform music. Most of all, make sure that you are relaxed enough to be able to always hold your thoughts upon the music, and never allow your thoughts to wander off someplace else.

Most often, all a student requires is to learn a basic (but effective) shape that will allow them to stretch their imagination and help them perform a simple solo with an easy scale pattern...

<span style="font-size: large;">The most common problem is that guitar students will very often believe that what they really need (to play their first solo), is to master a whole bunch of complex scale shapes all over the neck. However, this is not the case.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
For most guitar players out there, (especially those who are not studying their way through a structured guitar course), many of them do not know how to properly play a scale that is both simple enough and melodic enough.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this video, I show you one of the easiest and most fun ways of learning to play a guitar solo. We'll cover the scale shape, a jam-track for it, and I'll teach you an easy solo that you can learn to play in minutes. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/FbQ2R04SdP0" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span><br /> </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/FbQ2R04SdP0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2KHCrYLbh8s/X99mq_QVL4I/AAAAAAAAUL4/MWdxjOTa5-YEknXul65BavUJEnloTS3QQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/do-this-tonight-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>GUITAR SOLOING:</b><br />If can’t play guitar solos, or if scale shapes are still confusing for you - well, rest assured you have come to the right place... </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In this video, I’m going to introduce to you a highly functional pattern that can be used to play guitar solos very quickly and easily. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In this video, we’re going to cover an easy shape on the neck, and we’ll also cover how you can get a lot of mileage out of this pattern - whether you’re playing it ascending or descending.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Plus, to get you soloing right now, (in this video), I’m going to give you a great sounding jam-track, and along with that - we are also going to break down a sample guitar solo that you can practice and learn within minutes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">By the end of this video, you’re going to have a scale shape, a Jam-Track and you’re going to have a solo that you’re going to be able to play.

<p> </p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Example 1). </i></b><br />Let’s get things started by learning the, “Ascending,” structure of this scale shape.
</span><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lyKZooHErrs/X99nX1rfiiI/AAAAAAAAUMA/BfyJyty4YgEHV59lOMKFPlY56M98PmPPwCLcBGAsYHQ/s900/01-ascending-scale-shape.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="900" height="190" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lyKZooHErrs/X99nX1rfiiI/AAAAAAAAUMA/BfyJyty4YgEHV59lOMKFPlY56M98PmPPwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h190/01-ascending-scale-shape.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">Coming up next, I’m going to break down a nice descending version of our shape. Plus, we’ll also learn a jam-track to use this shape over and I’ll teach an easy solo as well… </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer that I have for a collection of some of the most popular handouts that I use here in my studio, it’s my; Handouts Collection eBook.

<span style="font-size: large;">The cool thing is that this idea (of learning a layout ascending and descending) this approach can offer us a few more options when it comes to using our scale shape... </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now, speaking of the practicing and playing of this shape, let’s next learn a backing track that I’ve put together for you so that you can have a solid practice progression that will help you to integrate, as well as, actually start using this scale.

<span style="font-size: large;">The last thing that I'm going to get into here is something that most practicing musicians will often skip over, (or sometimes a student who is studying a scale just unfortunately doesn’t really put enough work into this). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">What I’m talking about is learning and practicing how to take a scale and use it to both compose and improvise a melody, or a guitar solo.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In the final example, I want you to learn a short guitar solo that applies the notes of the scale that we’ve made a study of in this lesson. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Take your time learn the fingering and develop the rhythm and the dynamics of this part so that the solo feels natural when you play it along with the jam-track.

</b></span>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/membership_plans.php" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fEXSBgofTrg/WOJaEoqaiwI/AAAAAAAAJS0/PGIu-LkrMAEXXbr8uaGk3LwLIMpfX7XgwCLcB/s1600/membership_ad.png" /></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;">For those who are not sure what a Scale Overlay is or what the term means then let's start there. A "scale overlay" is a guitar diagrammatic image of a scale on the fingerboard that includes the notes of two scales simultaneously. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When we do an "overlay" we are not doing any note replacement with the scale, but rather we are including all of the tones from two different scales to be able to see the core differences.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://youtu.be/td34_HK-cFs" target="_blank">WATCH THE VIDEO</a>:</b></span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/td34_HK-cFs" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-syO9p7haiZA/X9pFkdS2OfI/AAAAAAAAUKg/CYtd6d3MRYYEEt2H71xX2WiuoaJjARSEACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/over-50-Vid-Link-535px.png" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some teachers might have you believe that seeing any kind of progress after viewing a scale overlay cannot occur. And, if we were pursuing that one result, they'd pretty much be correct.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However, what is more important about the overlay process is how a scale overlay will offer a musician something of a shortcut to cherry-pick the exact notes that end up producing a change to the overall sound.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">For our example, the Major sound will be highlighted and the we will isolate a new series of notes that produce the Minor sound.Our goal will be to know what notes specifically operate to produce the difference in color from major to minor.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
The best part about this exercise is that all that you’ll need to do is focus on this information once. The fact of the matter is, if you’ve ever tried to make sense of major and minor scales but you ran into problems, then you need to know this information. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you cannot make sense of scales and you’re an older guitar player, then you need to learn about this concept known as the Major and Minor Parallel scales. </span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE FIRST WAY WE LEARN SCALES:</b><br />When we are younger (and we don't yet know anything much about scales), we will typically learn about them by way of how the scale "functions" within a song as a shape. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We won't necessarily learn how the scale functions in regard to music theory, or how the scale is related to the key signature of the underlying music, but more so how the scale actually sits upon the neck geometrically, (as a shape).

When it comes to learning scales we will tend to take a small piece of a scale that we learned from a song and use it in very generic ways. The application of those tones is often very limited.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Normally, we won’t fully comprehend how that “piece” of a scale we learned from a song truly works with regard to theory, (or even more so, why that piece of the scale worked where it was played). Rather, we tend to only focus on how the scale sits on the guitar neck and how it sounds when it is used in a simple manner.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>TONALITY:</b><br />To further you playing skill and your musical knowledge, we will need to study how you can understand the most common scale concept on Earth, the "Major and Minor" tonality. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Tonality is actually quite simple. It is the "color" of whether a scale section being employed is of the effect of Major or Minor in a musical phrase. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If "Major" is in use, we have the tones shown above in "fig. 1." But, if "Minor" is applied, we will see a shift occur. That shift will be involving the use of a new group of notes that promote the minor effect. In our example above (see fig. 2), these notes will be, "Eb, Ab and Bb."<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
Coming up next, I’m going to demonstrate a couple of easy ways that you can use to learn how to get this parallel idea into your playing... But before we head into that, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer that’s related to my; Handouts Collection eBook…

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>MAJOR and MINOR</b>:<br />Using the parallel major and minor idea is something that takes time (and skill). For a guitarist to be able to make sense of using both major and minor musical sound it all starts with being able to properly hear the effect of these scales and how they are functioning in a musical sense. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Let's begin by using a very simple practice technique that will allow you to bring in the color of each major and minor sound. Plus, we can use this technique to be able to start creating music with these different sounds.
</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>PARALLEL MAJOR /MINOR (2-BAR): </b><br /></span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 1).</b> The first example that I want to go over is based upon applying the sound of both the major scale notes and the minor scale notes across 4 measures, but the shift will cover 2-bars, (allowing for plenty of time to change notes). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the example below, the major scale will work for measures one and two (on the “C” Major Chord), and the Minor notes will need to be added on the 3rd and 4th measures to cover the “Ab” Major chord. Play through the example below.</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WFsv-FAG8Ps/X9pXTbZ4UJI/AAAAAAAAULM/vPBDEyp6v9UgO1r_oSDowJln6OvwFHMOwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/04-Melodic-Example-01.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="806" data-original-width="1000" height="323" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WFsv-FAG8Ps/X9pXTbZ4UJI/AAAAAAAAULM/vPBDEyp6v9UgO1r_oSDowJln6OvwFHMOwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h323/04-Melodic-Example-01.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">The final exercise is going to go over switching between scale tones faster. This time, we’ll switch between Major and Minor scale notes on every measure across a four bar progression. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Doing this is a little more challenging, but if you take your time and learn the notes that have to change, you’ll find that the sound will become more manageable and it will also start to become easier to do.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 2).</b> The final exercise applies the sound of both the major scale notes and minor scale notes but it will switch them on every measure. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the example below, the major scale will work for measure one, (on the “C” Major Chord), and the Minor notes will need to be applied on measure two, (for the “Eb Major” chord). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The Major notes will have to come back on measure three (for the “F
Major” chord). And finally, you’ll need to apply the Minor scale notes on
that last measure (to cover the “Ab Major”). </span><br /></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CXtSVPE9KUY/X9pYMtOdGkI/AAAAAAAAULU/lg1yo24ASE0GM2Mskr2EghnVmktL7t03wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/05-Melodic-Example-02..png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1000" height="345" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CXtSVPE9KUY/X9pYMtOdGkI/AAAAAAAAULU/lg1yo24ASE0GM2Mskr2EghnVmktL7t03wCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h345/05-Melodic-Example-02..png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>IT STARTS WITH OBSESSION:</b><br />Your obsession for music, (and for playing the guitar) is no less important in your practice routine than learning all of your scales and arpeggios. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, your level of obsession might even be more important because it promotes the development of your best belief system for practicing guitar.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this post, (and its accompanying video), I will show you the value of how by not paying attention to the strength of your limiting beliefs and philosophies it will in-turn help you to create more options. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I'll also cover areas and philosophies that could be preventing you from making the most out of; your study time, the way that you're composing, and how you do transcription.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>10x BETTER</b>:<br />We’re kicking off our 10x Better Series by discussing a few powerful ways that you can change your playing and your practice habits to help make a serious move toward better; commitment to your musical studies, and to become better focused on the music that you’re playing, (both as you practice and as you’re performing). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We will also discuss how to improve your musical memory in a way that will help you to be able to more rapidly memorize lines and get the music that you’re performing into your mind at a much deeper level. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That includes getting your eyes away from sheet-music, (that you may be relying on – sometimes a little too much) and having the music become more burned into your memory. All this will go a long way to help you create a better and a more automatic musical performance. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Let’s start into this, BUT just before we do, I want to ask you to please comment below as you go through this post. Let others know about the things that have helped you the most in becoming a better guitar player and a better all around musician!</span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>MUSICAL OBSESSION:</b><br />One of the first things that you need to focus on is getting yourself to develop an Obsession for both learning about music and for playing the guitar. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This might sound like it’s really obvious, but the bottom line is that; most students rarely have a really high focus on wanting to improve their skills up to a serious level. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Say the following statement out loud to yourself; </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>“I want to become the best guitar player that I can possibly be.” </b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When a musician has a persistent preoccupation with either the idea or with the feeling of being absolutely compelled and motivated to the point of obsession, they learn to naturally develop an avoidance to things that will cause them to miss their goals.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Musicians can either; go down the wrong path, or have bad results, or negative results, or have their time wasted away with pointless activities. All of these things will become a long-term issue when it comes to improving playing skills. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Think of it this way, if you want to develop a serious playing and practicing approach, start by developing an obsession for music and for the guitar. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You’ll find that obsession will improve your focus ten-fold and your playing skills will form much faster than as if music and guitar were only something that you considered to be, "kind of" fun or just, "sort of" interesting.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Coming up next, I’m going to discuss the benefits of finding a balance between options and commitment. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer that I have for a collection of some of the most valuable handouts that I have here at my studio, it’s my;
Handouts Collection eBook.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CONSIDER MORE OPTIONS:</b><br />There’s a powerful balance that exists for musicians who are able to find options when they are studying anything that involves music or their instrument, (especially when it comes to performance). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A dedicated music student, (with the ability to analyze their options), can scrutinize a musical task and compartmentalize the task so that they remain relaxed and never feel rushed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/pages.php?page=cart&action=details&vid=7" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SCcKCFr68IM/VP8KyjZsciI/AAAAAAAAD5g/DqMaegyptKc/s320/301x251_using-major-scale-modes-final-ad.jpg" /></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>PRO-TIP:</i></b> Know how to create the opportunity for more time, and understand the need to practice and develop music through finding a balance for withholding commitment to less important things, (like maybe sitting around watching TV or playing video games). <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Use the time you've just gained (as a way) to instead:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: large;">practice more music </span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">compose more of your own music</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">become better at learning about music</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">invest in the study of guitar
</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
The cool thing is that this idea (of creating options and assessing commitment levels) doesn’t end only at how you’re thinking about your time and your dedication for music. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It also relates to composing new music, (or the overall idea of how we spend our time when writing songs). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When we compose music we tend to always do better in our compositions if we can establish a balance between our writing time, (that’s the time we’re spending on composing), and balancing that with our transposing time, (the time we spend learning other people’s music). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The thing that happens when we learn to create balance between these two is that our ideas for; song structure, keys, chords, modulation, song parts, dynamics, and rhythm (all this stuff), never stagnates. We are always being introduced to new music.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Our sense for music is always expanding, so if we have a balance between the time that we spend writing music, and the time we spend learning the music of others, both of these areas start to benefit us equally and they will help us move even closer to becoming the best musicians that we could possibly be.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>ALLOW TIME FOR MUSIC TO SINK IN:</b><br />The final point that I want to get in is a topic that most musicians will tend to avoid. But, I believe that it actually gets avoided accidentally. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And, what it is that I’m talking about is how a lot of musicians will not give themselves the space and the time to be able to let the music that they’re studying settle into their unconscious mind. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Instead, far too many musicians will push themselves to learn a song part by playing it over and over without any “breaks” and without getting up and stretching their legs, clearing their mind, and doing what we’ll just call taking a pause from the repetitive work of going through the music being studied. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Playing any 'one' thing for too long, (20 min. or longer), including a song riff, a lick, an exercise, or a guitar solo (running it through over and over again), can sometimes do more bad for you than good for you when it comes to memorization and deep learning. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It is important to understand that when we avoid taking any time off from practicing, (to clear our mind, and allow information to take hold), our playing can get stressed. That stress will more often than not tend to make our playing and our studying even worse.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But, when we walk away from what we’re doing we allow our mind to go on pause and collect our thoughts at an unconscious level. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Taking a scheduled break (away from further repetitive practice), will actually benefits us far more than sitting and forcing ourselves to continue studying.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Next time that you sit down to learn a song - take a pause after 7-10 min. and get up and walk away from what you’re working on. If you just get up and take a break and walk away, what it will do for you is it keep your mind fresh. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The period away doesn't need to be very long, (2-3 min. would be fine), but the benefit of the break will actually allow what you’re studying to settle-in at a much deeper level. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And, the best part is that when you return you’re going to play far better than you were playing before!

And, as practicing guitar players, there are many different areas of skill that we need to target. Some of those workouts will target the fret-hand, while others target the pick-hand. This means that the correct technique must be used for the best results...

<p><span style="font-size: large;">In this video, I’m going to give you a guitar technique workout for the fret-hand that is going to help you build better skill for accomplishing finger-rolls without having to feel as if you are leaving anything on the table.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/wuvGEfy2XEo" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/wuvGEfy2XEo" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7P7HPvBY5m8/X9D_sPBe6fI/AAAAAAAAUJg/4keYzAjpBm8im1gVVE5HtC3feUdt642CACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/perfect-execise-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>DEVELOPING CONTROL:</b><br />The key to developing fret-hand effectiveness is to master individual finger control and develop smooth vertical single-note transitions from one adjacent string to the next.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The mastery of these vertical single-note transitions can be accomplished by way of developing the best finger-roll technique possible. In this lesson I've provided a workout to help master the use of ascending and descending finger-roll motions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You may never have known that doing this finger-roll idea was so valuable for creating clean, accurate single notes on the guitar. But, after completing this lesson, you will have the tools to develop this idea to a much higher level of skill.

In this lesson I’m going to put together for you what I would call the perfect guitar exercise for getting amazing fret-hand results. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The reason why this exercise I have for you becomes the perfect fret-hand workout is because we are going to be targeting one of the most problematic technical areas that happens to the fretting-hand, and that is being able to produce a clean sounding finger-roll technique.
</span></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">The finger-roll is similar to barring, but instead this is a technique that occurs when a note has to be performed from one string over to another string - when both of those strings are running parallel to each other. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Normally, what happens is when a guitarist who is still developing this technique goes to execute the idea they will unintentionally produce bleed over from the two vertically aligned notes. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It can be tough to fix this, but I’ve got a great exercise that will go a long way to helping you master the movement. Let’s get started into this right now. </span><br /></p><p> </p>

<span style="font-size: large;">Coming up next, I’m going to go over how you can work on improving the finger-roll technique when playing from notes that exist on lower strings. But before we head into that, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer that’s related to my; Handouts Collection eBook.

<span style="font-size: large;">Another note travel direction that we need to get good at is the direction of a lower string tone moving up, (by way of a finger-roll) to an upper string tone. When we do this movement, the technical approach is basically the opposite of how we did the “higher to lower” finger-roll. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">In this video, I’m going to show you 3 specific things you can look for that will act as red flags to alert you to having guitar fingerboard weakness. These red flags will consist of guitar skill areas that you are going to want to correct.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
Once you have them corrected, you'll notice a big change in your level of skill as a guitarist. For instance, something as simple as playing rhythm guitar or a simple melody (the right way!) can be challenging if you don’t have a strong enough ability for neck knowledge. Let’s dive in.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/du0UakN_zFk" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/du0UakN_zFk" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CJG25pfibuo/X80KgnOligI/AAAAAAAAUHs/SXXUR5-x1XQnosAjy9zSkbjcPus5T40cACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/3blatant-RED-FLAGS-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Today we’re talking about being in a position that a lot of guitar players get stuck in (and some guitar players will be be stuck here – for often – far too long of a time). What is it? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It is being in the position of not understanding the guitar neck. If there’s one aspect about playing guitar that you don’t want to have… if there’s one place that you don’t want to be it’s at it's a place of not having a really good understanding when it comes to your guitar neck.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
It is important to understand that playing that guitar well has a lot to do with having a very solid working knowledge about how the guitar’s fingerboard operates, how the notes sit on it, and how scale shapes work all over the neck. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you’re still at a place where any of these areas don’t exactly make sense, then you need to watch this video. In it, I’m going to cover THREE “Blatant Signs” that you still don’t understand your guitar neck. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We'll also cover how to start down the path of improving upon these areas so that the mystery of the neck fades away and you have a far better sense of how to get the music in your mind out into the real world.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>(1). BEING 'STUCK' IN THE 'NECK' COMFORT ZONE: </b><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The first Blatant sign that you’ve got a neck understanding problem is if you only play music in one or two places on the fret-board. And, this can take hold in several different ways. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The most common way that this issue presents itself tends to be when a guitarist will only be “comfortable” with playing a musical idea in a certain region (a certain place) of the fret-board. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Every guitar player is different. So your favorite zone on the neck might be the open position, or it might be at around the 5th fret. Wherever your “comfort-zone” is, what will happen from having that one comfortable area is that other areas will always feel far less satisfactory to play music in. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You should also consider the music that you’re playing as well. This means if you’re going to play a rhythm guitar idea you might favor one particular region for playing in. Or, if you’re going to play a guitar solo, it can be very common to have a favored area for guitar licks as well.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
Coming up next I’m going to discuss a few solutions that you can use to break away from playing guitar in only one neck area. But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer that I have for a collection of some of the most valuable handouts that I have here at my studio it’s my; Handouts Collection eBook.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>BREAKING AWAY FROM A 'COMFORT ZONE'</b><br />To help you be able to break away from playing in the same neck area all the time, I want to teach you a few solutions for rhythm guitar and for playing melody. Let’s begin with Rhythm Guitar!
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
<b>Rhythm Guitar - Example 01</b>). <br />A lot of rhythm guitar players get locked into using only the open position chords. For example, if we take the “G, C and D” Major chords, (from open position), and start training on them in a new location somewhere else on the neck, the benefit becomes all about learning a new reference point. <i>For example try this…
</i></span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>The Chords of: "G, C and D" (Mid-neck Region): </i></span><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XjPY2u4lp9Q/X80la8q0cJI/AAAAAAAAUH8/FqxTdhO2do462NcbS1iyl6Qe3CoAjypTwCLcBGAsYHQ/s950/001-3-blatant-ex-01.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="389" data-original-width="950" height="164" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XjPY2u4lp9Q/X80la8q0cJI/AAAAAAAAUH8/FqxTdhO2do462NcbS1iyl6Qe3CoAjypTwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h164/001-3-blatant-ex-01.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">Learning to play a melody in more than one region can be similar to rhythm guitar, but the approach to improving your neck knowledge for playing single-note lines is a little different. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The improvement to single-note lines can still happen rather quickly when you work at changing the key of the melody.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Melody - Example 02</b>). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Let's say that you had a melody in the key of “G” </i></span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LXlUYyUXWAQ/X80mg6FtkQI/AAAAAAAAUIE/30v-BTzmpow-LSu1I2rJ21JvhlDgeYyKQCLcBGAsYHQ/s950/002-3-blatant-ex-02.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="950" height="149" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LXlUYyUXWAQ/X80mg6FtkQI/AAAAAAAAUIE/30v-BTzmpow-LSu1I2rJ21JvhlDgeYyKQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h149/002-3-blatant-ex-02.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you were to work at transposing that melodic idea to another key it will force you to orchestrate the part in another location of the neck. So, here’s that same melody but transposed to the key of “Eb.” ...<i>(take note of the new neck location).</i><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Melody - Example 03</b>). </span></p><p><i><span style="font-size: large;">The melody transposed to the the key of “Eb” </span><br /></i></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ot9ZBN_1K_Q/X80m9cYl8QI/AAAAAAAAUIM/T2mWth9C_z0E6w4uTZCJ7PdKEUS1vBrugCLcBGAsYHQ/s950/003-3-blatant-ex-03.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="358" data-original-width="950" height="151" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ot9ZBN_1K_Q/X80m9cYl8QI/AAAAAAAAUIM/T2mWth9C_z0E6w4uTZCJ7PdKEUS1vBrugCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h151/003-3-blatant-ex-03.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>(2). CLARIFYING KEYS - MAJOR or MINOR:</b><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
The second most blatant sign that you don’t understand your guitar neck is when you are unsure whether an idea (a riff or solo shape that you’re playing) is based within Major or Minor. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This can happen with either riffs or solos, but really the best way to tell if something that you’re playing is Major or Minor on the neck is by testing whether you can play a Major or a Minor chord, (over either the full measure or over a half- measure).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 04</b>). This riff is presented to you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Is the riff based in Major or in Minor?</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Lpna0V5R0A/X80nxW0CynI/AAAAAAAAUIY/g0vBfe2JoSglhS3rK4qBlT1LyALwNmoBgCLcBGAsYHQ/s950/004-3-blatant-ex-04.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="331" data-original-width="950" height="139" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Lpna0V5R0A/X80nxW0CynI/AAAAAAAAUIY/g0vBfe2JoSglhS3rK4qBlT1LyALwNmoBgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h139/004-3-blatant-ex-04.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">To confirm the sound of major or minor - test playing either a major or a minor chord over each segment of the riff.
If the first chord (that connects properly to the sound of the music), is Minor, then the other cool thing to realize is that the key would generally be Minor as well. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The opposite of course would be true if the first, “better sounding chord” was a major. In that case, the key would generally then be a Major key.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>(3). YOU ONLY KNOW A FEW NOTES: </b><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
The 3rd blatant sign that you still don’t understand your guitar neck is when the only notes that you know are on the open 6th and 5th strings, (and maybe one or two other places). Obviously, this is limiting for any player, so developing ways to expand your note knowledge is critical for becoming a better guitarist. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This is something that every guitar player needs to develop in order to get better at becoming familiar with knowing their notes on the fingerboard.

That said, it is not the scale pattern alone that powers our scale knowledge on the guitar. Rather, it is the concept of musical use through, "Tonality."

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">When we learn to understand specifically how a scale forms Major or Minor we become more involved in scale musicianship (a deeper knowledge of how scales are used to create music).
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
This can be a problem however if only one of the tonalities starts to take over the scale geometry for us. Playing only in one tonality will take away from the contribution of sound that is important to us as musicians. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span><a href="https://youtu.be/6Wv6K50D-sQ" target="_blank">WATCH THE VIDEO</a>:</span></b></span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/6Wv6K50D-sQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jsdr3bzz5I8/X8e2iiof1wI/AAAAAAAAUGU/SKQu8fdV3AExU0U5b_UjJfd1uKZ3naaEQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/just-once-master-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to learning how to use scales, often times it’s not what you do in the practice of them, but rather it’s "how" you do it that matters the most. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Guitar players generally don’t study scales like a horn player would, and we typically don’t approach learning scales in the same way that a piano player would study them. Guitar Players tend to learn scales by memorizing geometrical patterns.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Now, today I’m going to show you - using just one exercise - how a scale can be approached so that the tonality of the pattern will be the focus of what it is that you’re learning to hear. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Tonality, (if you’re not familiar with that term), it refers to organizing music around a central note. What we often call the Tonic. See scales promote either a Major or a Minor tonality based upon how we end up pointing toward a Tonic note of the scale pattern. </span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>SHIFTING TONALITY:</b><br />When we develop our scales, the work that we put into each pattern on the neck can be expanded further by going beyond a single tonality, (we don’t want to get trapped viewing the scale shape “seen and practiced,” as just one tonality).
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
We need to view the shape as having both Major and Minor tonality and then apply our practice time toward phrasing worked out melodic lines. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We can use work at melodic composition as a way to become 10x better at not just committing the scale pattern to memory, and hearing the scale’s sound from each root note, but we’ll also get better at creating music with the scale shape. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Next, let’s study how the Minor Pentatonic scale, (and the associated melodic statement) from our first exercise can be studied from the direction of the “Major” tonality.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 2</b>). <br />The shape of the scale pattern design for establishing the "Major" tonality is the exactly the same shape as was used in our first Pentatonic pattern.

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, becoming fully aware of everything that scale practice offers us can be boiled down to just seven things. So, in this video, I’m going to show you the "7 things" that every well studied guitar player gets from the practice of scales. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://youtu.be/RMbNAA1AXX8" target="_blank">WATCH THE VIDEO</a>:</b></span></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/RMbNAA1AXX8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pbMTAbKuKVA/X8PJM9oHCVI/AAAAAAAAUEo/DMl4fiB8G5s5BF2M_ccPN6wGjZJg-SafwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/7-Things-I-Learned-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><p><br /></p>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you work on your scales you can count on these seven things to start developing within your guitar playing rather fast and the best part is that they will stay that way in your playing forever. No more playing notes up and down the neck without these important skills after doing this!
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this lesson I’m going to show you seven things that you’ll learn after practicing the major scale. These are seven benefits that happen once you really dig in and start spending a lot of time organizing the notes that we have available from playing scale patterns. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This is extremely important because once a guitarist starts practicing the Major scale that work will carry over to many other ideas, and scale study is excellent because it helps with not only developing shapes and connecting patterns, but the really cool thing is that it when you study scales you start to also get better in several other areas as well. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOTE RECOGNITION</b>:<br />Let’s get right into this and start off with the first thing that you’ll learn after you begin practicing the Major Scale.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
The first benefit that you’ll discover from practicing the Major scale is a much better recognition for the notes on the neck.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
<b>Example 01</b>). The scale tones are connected to our musical keys, so along with learning the notes on the neck you’ll get better at knowing sharps and flats in each of the key signatures.
</span><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-djdZU4nb6_Y/X8PJ-2oQaMI/AAAAAAAAUEw/mpl69PzGojUOkr_34TSH9BliebFH4K6MACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/01-Notes-on-the-Neck-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="344" data-original-width="1000" height="138" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-djdZU4nb6_Y/X8PJ-2oQaMI/AAAAAAAAUEw/mpl69PzGojUOkr_34TSH9BliebFH4K6MACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h138/01-Notes-on-the-Neck-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>OCTAVE LEARNING:</b><br />Octaves are by far one of the most important ideas that we have as guitar players, and there’s no better way to learn the guitar's octave patterns than by the study of scale layouts.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 03</b>). Octaves provide a map across the neck for us to understand positions along with learning both vertical as well as, horizontal note pattern alignment. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-19cjU8R18TY/X8PLLH79TvI/AAAAAAAAUFA/FzKHUB70w1UBu8P2si-GpnPQB8eS8D6zwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/03A-Octaves-Across-the-Neck-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="1000" height="139" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-19cjU8R18TY/X8PLLH79TvI/AAAAAAAAUFA/FzKHUB70w1UBu8P2si-GpnPQB8eS8D6zwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h139/03A-Octaves-Across-the-Neck-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p>
<span style="font-size: large;">Scales also help us understand how octave patterns can be mapped between string groups like this next example where we have a 5th to 2nd string octave of “C.” In this case the octave travels toward the guitar’s head-stock.
</span><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HrsoBiVD2rc/X8PLaV4rNiI/AAAAAAAAUFE/00f1VlpdrjcMZxYOlqOdliNnOa2fD0JggCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/03B-Octaves-Across-the-Neck-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="1000" height="139" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HrsoBiVD2rc/X8PLaV4rNiI/AAAAAAAAUFE/00f1VlpdrjcMZxYOlqOdliNnOa2fD0JggCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h139/03B-Octaves-Across-the-Neck-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">We can also use octaves to understand more about the span of the unison tones by mapping the octaves to a different direction of the guitar. In this next example (below) an octave reaches from the 5th-string over to the 3rd-string. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-esYMFdRJ4UM/X8PL54usSHI/AAAAAAAAUFQ/96VCr2LDTI01rpnD5_qvCUUE8F9CEYmigCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/03C-Octaves-Across-the-Neck-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="1000" height="139" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-esYMFdRJ4UM/X8PL54usSHI/AAAAAAAAUFQ/96VCr2LDTI01rpnD5_qvCUUE8F9CEYmigCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h139/03C-Octaves-Across-the-Neck-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>FINGERBOARD GEOMETRY:</b><br />Another cool thing that the study of scales will help with is getting a better understanding of fingerboard geometry. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Fret-board geometry is the way that a group of notes in one area of the guitar neck can be thought of as existing in other regions of the guitar fingerboard. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This topic includes two concepts for how notes can exist in the other regions of the guitar fingerboard. They could be seen as either as unison tones, (same notes) or how tones will exist on the neck in another tonal range, (same tonal names, but in a different pitch). <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 04</b>). If we look at how the geometrical design of the notes of a 5th-string root “C” major scale in 2nd position directly connect to the geometry of the same notes of a 6th-string root “C” Major in 7th position, it becomes obvious that we have identical designs. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ABWCyAvcF-g/X8PSAEOSkCI/AAAAAAAAUFc/k5xXPT6zzhcY0wLnLaITV2oQ9YO8n-MdgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/04B-Neck-Geometry-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="284" data-original-width="1000" height="114" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ABWCyAvcF-g/X8PSAEOSkCI/AAAAAAAAUFc/k5xXPT6zzhcY0wLnLaITV2oQ9YO8n-MdgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h114/04B-Neck-Geometry-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5qagR6UMEeY/X8PSFKtoJTI/AAAAAAAAUFg/Xa4CeyuB2mst-7QUc0SM8hO9Eu9_d2bSgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/04C-Neck-Geometry-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="284" data-original-width="1000" height="114" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5qagR6UMEeY/X8PSFKtoJTI/AAAAAAAAUFg/Xa4CeyuB2mst-7QUc0SM8hO9Eu9_d2bSgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h114/04C-Neck-Geometry-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">Another topic scales help us with is more melodic options. It’s a big factor for every guitarist who’d like to get better at the way they perform a guitar solo. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Playing a decent solo requires a guitar player to introduce unique sounds and those often come out of playing unique shapes.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 05</b>). This layout (below) is a very popular pattern of the “Major Scale.” The shape itself, is built off of the 5th string root. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MVhAYOd3afA/X8PS-ETiYHI/AAAAAAAAUFs/mSpwp8ZMpXsbn2utlqvaCqQGnFXLWM88QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/05A-More-Unique-Melodic-Options-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="332" data-original-width="1000" height="133" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MVhAYOd3afA/X8PS-ETiYHI/AAAAAAAAUFs/mSpwp8ZMpXsbn2utlqvaCqQGnFXLWM88QCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h133/05A-More-Unique-Melodic-Options-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">By isolating specific areas of the shape, we can produce options across the sound that can offer - not only a unique geometrical design but also, (this group of isolated tones I’ve highlighted) could be an interesting collection of notes to use within a solo. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GBTF06Hu70E/X8PUu2PDEMI/AAAAAAAAUF0/sVGDMr43RLwK01wgn7fT48k-7xxoy7LeQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/05B-More-Unique-Melodic-Options-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="332" data-original-width="1000" height="133" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GBTF06Hu70E/X8PUu2PDEMI/AAAAAAAAUF0/sVGDMr43RLwK01wgn7fT48k-7xxoy7LeQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h133/05B-More-Unique-Melodic-Options-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Isolating unique shapes across a scale pattern can in turn offer guitar players a unique sound. </span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>RHYTHM and TIMING:</b><br />The next thing that I want to cover is how practicing scales can help you learn a lot more about dealing with rhythm. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The important thing with rhythm and timing comes down to how scale practice affects your development of a higher level of perfection with the control of Rhythm Duration and of course with how you apply it which directly relates to a guitar players sense of timing.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> <br /></span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 06</b>). When a student practices developing scales every book and every teacher will stress how important it can be to also develop a sense for playing those scale tones in different duration notes against a metronome. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Below is a common one octave “C Major” scale pattern. Play this scale pattern first at the duration of eighth-notes and then play it again as 16th notes, (use a metronome). </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KzngCwybnGg/X8PV5UqOAxI/AAAAAAAAUGA/cwcwwQKeOGoqNVqX7-LBqYc3V-gT7AYvwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/01-Notes-on-the-Neck-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="344" data-original-width="1000" height="138" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KzngCwybnGg/X8PV5UqOAxI/AAAAAAAAUGA/cwcwwQKeOGoqNVqX7-LBqYc3V-gT7AYvwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h138/01-Notes-on-the-Neck-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY</b>:<br />The final topic has to do with how after you start practicing the major scale you’re going to start to develop an increased sense of “Technical Proficiency,” (or what is often called Left and Right Hand Co-ordination and Control). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A great technical drill that we can start doing with patterns on the neck is the application of Scale "Sequencing." Try taking the scale degrees of a Major Scale and playing them in the sequence indicated below:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 07</b>). "Scale Sequencing" drill. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E8K3QiaNJOU/X8PghAMfIdI/AAAAAAAAUGI/QNb3zIuWkBAR36Lbez4piBT3IvSf27gpQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1060/sequence.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1060" data-original-width="950" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E8K3QiaNJOU/X8PghAMfIdI/AAAAAAAAUGI/QNb3zIuWkBAR36Lbez4piBT3IvSf27gpQCLcBGAsYHQ/w359-h400/sequence.png" width="359" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Guitar technique gets a huge boost from the practice of scales and it’s one of the main reasons that scales are part of the 1st group of things that are studied on most all other instruments; like Piano, along with all of the Brass and Woodwind instruments! </span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE TWO TYPES OF TRANSPOSING</b>:<br /><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Type 1). The "Cut and Paste" approach</i></b><br />Here, we change the position placement of what we're playing on the neck. This will keep the geometrical shape, but it will result in changes to the key signature. This approach would be considered as true method of transposing in music.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Type 2). The "Duplicate /Clone" approach<br /></i></b>The other approach is the duplication, or "clone" approach. This transposing approach is more of a "guitar neck" oriented idea and it operates by keeping the exact same notes, (the unison tones) but create a "clone" of them by re-locating them to another fret-board region. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Ideally, you would want to be as fluent as possible in both of these techniques. Sadly, almost half of the players out there do not understand either of them at a high enough level.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>WHAT IS TRANSPOSING?</b><br />Even if you’re not playing very many gigs right now, there’s something that you, (as a guitar player) should be able to do on your guitar, but sadly only around 50% of players actually know it. This idea is called transposing and it is super valuable!<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you know a scale pattern, (or any melodic pattern) and if you have committed that pattern to memory, the pattern layout should be worked through a procedure that is called being, “Transposed.” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
The process of transposing means that we will make a change to the placement, or to the ordering of a part. Traditionally, to transpose a piece of Music, it means to Change the "key" of that piece. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">For example, a piece of music in a major key can be transposed to another major key; or the same thing can happen in a minor key - it can be transposed to any other minor key. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Let’s explore this idea further, because it is without any doubt one of the most significant guitar playing concepts that we need to learn.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE "CUT and PASTE" METHOD:</b><br />We’ll call our first transposing method, “Cut and Paste.” This method is essentially the musical method of, True Transposing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The Cut and Paste method changes the position placement, as well as the musical key of a melodic idea. One bonus of this cut and paste method is that it keeps the original ideas shape, so it is very easy to execute on the fingerboard.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOTE CLONES /DUPLICATION</b>:<br />The next transposing method is more of a guitar based approach rather than what we’d consider a text-book musical approach and it’s what we’re going to call a “Note Duplication,” (or “Note Cloning”) idea. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">What this method does is it keeps the notes the same, but re-locates them to another fret-board region.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 4</b>). [remember our original idea]… It was that, “A Minor Pentatonic,” performed in the middle of the neck, it went like this.</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-72HMavWapn8/X76r9pqhm8I/AAAAAAAAUDw/tc96CfRt2UgRo05TvlW4UTCaY0T8KY8nACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/001-A-Minor-Pent-Blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="280" data-original-width="1000" height="113" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-72HMavWapn8/X76r9pqhm8I/AAAAAAAAUDw/tc96CfRt2UgRo05TvlW4UTCaY0T8KY8nACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h113/001-A-Minor-Pent-Blog.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 5</b>). If we apply note cloning, the scale layout from example four can function in other areas of the neck as well. Here’s the same scale of, “A Minor Pentatonic,” but this time performed in the upper fingerboard register. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BEnVdB9uTcY/X76sG_uckUI/AAAAAAAAUD0/lQK3cyaXGYcffD7swp_TrAzwvyzYGvaXgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/004-A-Minor-Pent-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="277" data-original-width="1000" height="111" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BEnVdB9uTcY/X76sG_uckUI/AAAAAAAAUD0/lQK3cyaXGYcffD7swp_TrAzwvyzYGvaXgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h111/004-A-Minor-Pent-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 6</b>). If we apply another note clone, our scale layout can function in one more area of the neck. Here’s the same scale of, “A Minor Pentatonic,” but this time performed in the lower fingerboard register. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-Kd7ZxMl1Y/X76saSSwcYI/AAAAAAAAUD8/FXk80f3DT_gk-Xlw4XujVJ1yMUJxEPUWACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/005-A-Minor-Pent-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="277" data-original-width="1000" height="111" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-Kd7ZxMl1Y/X76saSSwcYI/AAAAAAAAUD8/FXk80f3DT_gk-Xlw4XujVJ1yMUJxEPUWACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h111/005-A-Minor-Pent-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">The "Note Cloning" method can be extremely helpful for playing a riff or a guitar solo, because it offers guitar players a few other options along the fret-board. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">These other options mean that we will never feel compartmentalized into playing our phrases in only one "comfortable" region or neck location. </span></p>

A guitarist can easily get stuck in these memorized phrases because over time the guitarist will start to feel more than comfortable with the positive results of what they come to know on the neck as the most familiar scale tones...

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/membership_plans.php" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fEXSBgofTrg/WOJaEoqaiwI/AAAAAAAAJS0/PGIu-LkrMAEXXbr8uaGk3LwLIMpfX7XgwCLcB/s1600/membership_ad.png" /></a></div>

<p> </p>
<span style="font-size: large;">When you train yourself on how to play guitar solos you will often continue to perform the same note selections over and over again. Doing this isn't bad, it's actually normal behavior and we do it because we get comfortable with certain note phrases that work, and let's face it, everyone enjoys playing phrases that work because it maintains consistency.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
Playing what feels most comfortable will always produce a favorable result and we all know that even the slightest imbalance can cost us bad notes here and there due to a loss of muscle symmetry. The process which I outline in this lesson will help you expand your playing, locate better notes, and improve your overall phrasing.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this video I am going to show you just one thing that you could start doing after you play only three notes that will improve your phrasing, the sound of your lines and the expression that comes from each note of your solos and riffs.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/j2-BIhhBkBY" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THIS VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/j2-BIhhBkBY" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5tQKy-hkoMI/X7qQWEROhII/AAAAAAAAUCc/WksYevjU4d04SYQTU5y0cepmL4R0llgGgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/3_notes_001_Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOTE CHOICE:</b><br />Taking a deeper look into note choice and phrasing will also make you think a whole lot more about how rhythm ideas can integrate across the lines that you play so that your phrasing starts to develop more naturally without the imbalances that often occur if you never stop to consider the points I’m about to share with you.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
If you’re performing a lot of notes in a riff or in a guitar solo or perhaps if you’re only playing a few notes in a melodic statement - you’re probably not taking stock of other options that can happen after playing a note group of a phrase. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Depending upon the style of music, normally a “note group” can take on anywhere from 3, to 5, or even 7 notes across a melodic statement. How you think about those phrases, what you do within them and how you play around them can have a serious impact upon the quality of everything else that you perform.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 01</b>). <br />Start by learning the following lead guitar phrase. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Reference Phrase:</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-JAoBoqalo/X7qReg-SpUI/AAAAAAAAUCk/q2J7mAtdBGcCpUXeayn6GJ8OzyYQBmaIgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/001-jam-riff.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="1000" height="170" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-JAoBoqalo/X7qReg-SpUI/AAAAAAAAUCk/q2J7mAtdBGcCpUXeayn6GJ8OzyYQBmaIgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h170/001-jam-riff.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 02</b>). <br />After the first three notes, let’s alter the phrasing of the line so that we accomplish just two things; a new rhythmic feel, and a new technique for use across the part.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Modified Phrase:</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9QICSCO7QrU/X7qRuEMMcvI/AAAAAAAAUCs/05gzvRz3vsIKIp-3FMDje47bMdKiDP6dgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/002-jam-riff.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="468" data-original-width="1000" height="188" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9QICSCO7QrU/X7qRuEMMcvI/AAAAAAAAUCs/05gzvRz3vsIKIp-3FMDje47bMdKiDP6dgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h188/002-jam-riff.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the example above, the new rhythmic idea included tied notes into downbeats and the addition of a 16th-note phrase. All we did for the new technique was I went and added a hammer-on in the first measure. </span></p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">What’s really cool is how our idea became a new version of its old self through doing nothing more than a couple of simple modifications to the original melodic statement. The idea is simple, but once it gets applied it really is highly effective. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Coming up next, I’m going to explain how to expand on this idea even further. But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer so you can get a collection of some of the most valuable handouts I have here at my studio, and it’s my studios; Handouts Collection eBook.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>ADJUSTING NOTE GROUPS</b>:<br />Learning to adjust note groups across a riff or a solo is one of the main technical ideas that gets used by the world’s greatest guitar players. Whether that’s Clapton, Hendrix, Satriani, or Stevie Ray, every one of the world’s great guitar players has developed their own “built in mechanism” for how they adjust notes of a riff. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">How guitar players will modify notes across a lead melody line so that the statements they create have a greater impact upon the listener is a vital skill for developing more advanced melodic phrasing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I want to begin by helping you to better understand this through showing you a new melodic idea, getting you to learn it and then helping you with ways of starting to make other modifications so that the phrasing of the parts you play will change so they better attract the attention of your listener.
</span></p><p> </p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 03</b>). <br />Let’s start by learning the next guitar phrase that I have for you. Here’s how the first reference to it sounds.
</span><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y1bYX7F9rVc/X7qSdps4oAI/AAAAAAAAUC0/Xsfwe9EOmJkBngecODjZHep-w8RSAiNBQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1100/003-jam-riff.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="1100" height="151" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y1bYX7F9rVc/X7qSdps4oAI/AAAAAAAAUC0/Xsfwe9EOmJkBngecODjZHep-w8RSAiNBQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h151/003-jam-riff.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 04</b>). <br />Like we did before, let’s modify the phrasing of the line after our first three notes.
</span><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ISd0hKAIiA/X7qSjEsdhgI/AAAAAAAAUC4/ajCLYOd58eo4ng-R91ORD7HU7SFjFJfJQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1100/004-jam-riff.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="1100" height="155" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ISd0hKAIiA/X7qSjEsdhgI/AAAAAAAAUC4/ajCLYOd58eo4ng-R91ORD7HU7SFjFJfJQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h155/004-jam-riff.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As you can tell in the 2nd measure (of example 04) there was a “Hammer-on /Pull-off”
along with a “Slide.” This type of simple modification is often all that’s
required to create a more interesting impact on your melodic lines.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CONCLUSION</b>:<br />Our goal with this modification approach is to accomplish two things; </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
(1). a new feel with respect to the rhythmic impression of the part </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">(2). and the introduction of a few new phrasing techniques

<span style="font-size: large;">I’m going to show you how to build better guitar solos by establishing the scale and key control that is lacking with most guitar players. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This lack of control is one of the main reasons that will prevent guitar players from seeing the development that is possible when it comes to playing effective guitar solos. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/UqCbRiC5OKk" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/UqCbRiC5OKk" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KgRLGiMSQSQ/X7VhG5wAWAI/AAAAAAAAUBw/9lLWUQ8N6NAC6-zN-m50__0y0iPReWoFwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/cant-solo-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SOLOING PROBLEMS</b>:<br />If you’ve got a problem when it comes to soloing, if you can’t solo or your solo’s are lagging behind where they should be and you want to do something about it, I’m going to show you exactly what to do. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I know that most guitar players are told (in all kinds of YouTube videos), that they need to learn a bunch of technical terms and all kinds of scale options. Which is not particularly bad advice, it just isn't entirely necessary when first setting out to solo.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Since there are so many lessons with YouTube teachers saying that you need to learn the Minor Pentatonic, the Major Scale, the Modes, etc. it becomes overwhelming for most students who are new to soloing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Being told all of that information, (especially if you don’t know what you’re doing when it comes to playing a solo), will ultimately get you bogged down. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">When you break it down in the simplest sense, there's only one scale (the scale of the key) and guitar really only has one geometrical pattern for the key. This stuff is not complicated, so don’t make it complicated or buy into the notion that it is complex.

<span style="font-size: large;">INFORMATION OVERLOAD</span></b><span style="font-size: large;">:<br />Too many guitar players suffer from, "information overload." They have far too much piled up on their plate and it causes them to become so bogged down that they can’t play even a simple guitar solo. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Instead what happens is guitar players get lost in the theory, the exercises and the abundance of large scale patterns on the neck. All of this start to cause the player to lose sight of even the most basic ideas behind playing a guitar solo. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>SIMPLIFICATION</b>:<br />In this video I’m going to help you bring clarity to soloing by simplifying the way that you solo through using your ear and a simplified single note layout on the neck. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
As stated earlier, sometimes too much knowledge can be a curse. This is true since the way that we organize knowledge is for the most part very different from how we use and apply that same knowledge. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If I relate some theoretical concept like how for instance Minor Pentatonic and Major Pentatonic are the same through “Relative Notes,” how does that help you use that information? It helps you little to none doesn't it.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Unless you’ve already applied relative scale theory and you know everything about what the term actually means and how it is used within a guitar solo, the information is nearly useless with respect to it being something that is helpful.
</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;">For us to be able to use notes to solo we need to start by learning one basic guitar scale pattern perfectly. Then, you can use your ear to find the key of whatever it is that you want to play a solo over. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Once you have those two elements, (a memorized pattern and a good sense of using your ear to guide the music along the neck), you’re ready to compose a guitar solo (NOT Improvise one at this point, just compose one).
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Coming up next, I’m going to go over one of the best soloing patterns that we have available to us on the guitar... But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer related to my new; Handouts Collection eBook. </span></p><p> </p><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #444444;

Here’s how the shape looks on the neck in the key of “C."
</span></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zg2wPR9djeY/X7V0_T74W5I/AAAAAAAAUB4/USVkHEwmQUgok29RaIIOGoxl8rPLkJFtACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/001-best-pentatonic-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="283" data-original-width="1000" height="114" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zg2wPR9djeY/X7V0_T74W5I/AAAAAAAAUB4/USVkHEwmQUgok29RaIIOGoxl8rPLkJFtACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h114/001-best-pentatonic-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You don’t need to understand at first what exactly needs to happen to create Major or Minor. At first, just memorize the scale shape. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 2</b>). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The cool thing is that this scale shape is pretty much all that you need to cover any Major or Minor key chord harmony. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">By sliding it to other locations you can change the key. Here’s how the shape looks on the neck when you drop it down a whole-step into the key of “<span>B♭</span>”</span><br /><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kXS7Lzn_7bI/X7V1f9lciiI/AAAAAAAAUCA/61qOsJNFpb0yXnYK889TmZjX2k5SIAuEgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/002-best-pentatonic-BLOG.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="1000" height="115" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kXS7Lzn_7bI/X7V1f9lciiI/AAAAAAAAUCA/61qOsJNFpb0yXnYK889TmZjX2k5SIAuEgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h115/002-best-pentatonic-BLOG.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>CONCLUSION</b>:<br />In the beginning, too many guitar players will try to start off by Improvising. But, for a lot of players, that approach can doom you to failure, because improvisation is such a complex spontaneous musical technique that it requires a very high level of competence, (a skill that most beginners and intermediate guitar players still don't possess).
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
If you want to get better, master the shape that I just showed above and then work at getting a well refined level of skill for moving through the shape using primarily your ear as your guide.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Start composing worked out melodies. One you compose enough melody, you’ll slowly start to more acutely develop your ear up to a high enough level that you can hear chord connections and not have to think about each chord consciously.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The other side of soloing is rhythmic feel and with composing you’ll develop your sense of rhythm and with it your ability to improvise music from off of the top of your head. </span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;">These behaviors are simple changes you can make to your mind-set and they won’t take you more than 30 seconds to implement! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Once learned, they will help you to get rid of those lousy practice sessions forever. Understanding the selection of these behaviors will require a brief discussion of the reasons for your bad practice sessions in the first place.

<span style="font-size: large;">In this lesson we are going to talk to you about building the fastest way for improving your skills on guitar. Sadly, most guitar players have slow to almost non-existent progress related to how they are expanding their skills on guitar on a daily basis and it shouldn’t be like that. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You should be moving ahead each day and getting at least 1 percent better every day. But, instead, lack-luster progress is rampant among guitar players and it’s almost always a symptom of something else that’s not being done productively.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
If you look at your current practice approach, the first thing that you probably want to ask yourself is, do I even have an approach to begin with? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Most guitar players do not have any kind of an approach whatsoever. And, if that sounds like you, then fix it by creating a practice approach that focuses on four KEY behavior areas that you can start from... they are;
</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
1). Discipline </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">2). Good Attitude </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">3). Quality Material to Study </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">4). An Actual "Real" Concrete Plan </span></p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>DISCIPLINE</b>:<br />Discipline is the first part of this plan because without discipline you can’t go beyond the third and fourth stages of improvement. So, how can you improve discipline? Well, one of the first things to do is create a clean and tidy work area. Free of any distractions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Turn off the music, or turn off TV and clean up around where you are so that your workspace feels comfortable and uncluttered. The next thing is to never wait for things to “feel right” to practice, a disciplined player just gets into it and starts practicing. Once you begin you’ll be into it and the work will start to take care of itself.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Another thing to add into the discipline mix is taking breaks. Never push yourself to work past the point of exhaustion. You need to be getting up and walking around to clear your mind. And, doing this also improves your mood, your decision making skills and your concentration. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Breaks work a lot like a mental reward because they help to keep your mind fresh. Finally, the last thing to understand about discipline is that studying the playing of a musical instrument is full of great successes, and total flat out failures. So, an easy going attitude is a huge part of keeping a disciplined mind.
</span></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">Coming up next, I’m going to cover the benefits of; having a Good Attitude, the use of Quality Material to Study and the advantage of using a Concrete Plan for Daily Improvement. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer for a collection of some of the most valuable handouts I have here at my studio, it’s my new; Handouts Collection eBook.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>ATTITUDE</b>:<br />When it comes to success in anything attitude plays one of the biggest roles in achieving that success. But, often times what happens is a person will shut down success very quickly because of only a few bad experiences that have become re-enforced. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This can happen in many different ways, like they might be a little too negative, or they’ll hold too much of a pessimistic view on what it is that they are doing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">To clean up your attitude, start by realizing that you’re going to encounter obstacles throughout your practice day and there is no such thing as a "perfect" practice session. There are practice sessions that go well and there are others that do not go well.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
The important thing is, when you come up against challenges during a practice session, find the counter-benefit from the challenge, no matter how angry or how frustrated you get, always try to find humor in what you’re doing and try to look for the, “lesson in the failure.” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Back away from any of the negativity that might surround what’s going on with the undesirable result and make sure that you never exaggerate situations into something worse than they really are. This is really important because exaggeration "amplifies" the bad experience and that amplification can allow the experience to come back and taint a future event. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Keep what’s happening centered within the present moment. Everything that happens during a learning experience does have the potential to affect your line of thinking, and you need to keep that train of thought clear, healthy and focused on the positive!
</span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>QUALITY OF MATERIAL</b>:<br />The next area of importance is the quality of what it is that you’re practicing. It’s easy enough to head back day after day to run through material that you’ve had on-hand for years. That’s a not hard to do, (and granted it is fun to do, but it does not push us ahead).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The problem with running through older material is that particular type of work doesn’t expand our horizons. In fact, it tends to have the exact opposite effect by keeping us in a sort of stagnation loop.Running through the same stuff day after day. A great way to stop this is by cleaning up your workspace area.</span><br /></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Clean Up Your Work-Space:</b></i><br />Keep it very tidy where you sit down to practice guitar, a big mess will clutter your mind as well as your workspace. In the clean space organize what you want to complete each practice day.<br /> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cluttered spaces can have the result of keeping your clarity down and that won't allow you to go past the point of venturing into new or unique training. Higher clarity forces you to move into new material that presents a challenge. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Cluttered spaces also have the tendency of resulting in misplaced items. You don't want lost items because it creates frustrating. Instead, you'll want everything readily accessible including your gear, course books and your music sheets.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A clean and tidy environment naturally promotes clarity and that means you'll feel more ready to take on those really challenging assignments! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This is perfect if you feel like you're being somehow kept away from new and different material than what you’re used to only because you have a mess to contend with before you can study your courses or sheet music.</span><br /></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">In a cluttered environment the problem you’ll have is that you’re searching for stuff and not exactly reaching into uncharted territory with ease. Searching for your stuff leads to frustration and that will always make it harder to grow as a musician. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You'll just keep feeling stuck in the same routines, feeling frustrated that you can't find everything you're looking for. Practice will feel like a chore.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I know from my own personal experience, I always had the best results come out of the times where I was following a course and working on easily accessible material that was new, or by working on material that was unfamiliar, but well presented and well organized.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Well presented and well organized new and different material will make a student feel like it is fun to do the research and to put more time at practice and learning to understand the songs, techniques or the exercises so that I could play them the best that I could. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So remember, quality material is going to be the material that you’ve never worked on before. The material that’s well organized and new and different! Your success with high quality challenging material comes from being in a clean and tidy work area. </span><br /></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>YOUR CONCRETE PLAN</b>:<br />Our last discussion is going to be on the importance of having a concrete plan for how you’re going to spend your time. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Being successful at this will inevitably involve the daily use of keeping a highly organized practice schedule. If you’ve never kept track of the topics that you’re studying (and the time that you’re spending on them), then implementing the use of a practice schedule is going to make a big difference.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Practice schedules go a long way in helping us sort out what we want to work on, how much time we decide to spend on each topic and if they are done correctly, a practice schedule will also help us start to keep track of how successful we’re getting with each topic. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Practice schedules are essentially a road map to our time frames, subjects and metronome settings during each practice session. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you keep a practice schedule going day after day and you constantly reference it to organize your topics in a well-structured way what’s going to happen is you’ll find that the daily use of your time will become more focused.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The schedule will go a long way to help your ability to reach higher levels of skill and the enhanced skill will start to accelerate day by day. The bare minimum that we want to see is an improvement of at least 1 percent every day. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Over 30 days that’s a 30 percent improvement... And, that’s a VERY effective use of your time!

Both of these areas are good routines, but they are routines that generally involve either introducing a very limited number of new chord patterns, or introducing no new chord patterns at all...

<span style="font-size: large;">Learning new chord patterns, (especially unique "worldly" patterns) is an invaluable part of building a complete skill set for the best training on rhythm guitar. If you want to construct the most powerful chord workout, then you'll need to include the world's best chord patterns into your plan!
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this video, I show you a List of 7 of the World's BEST Chords! (PLUS A BONUS CHORD). This approach will have you performing unique chord shapes that sound awesome and work great for the next time you need interesting "worldly" chord shapes for either song learning or for composition.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://youtu.be/l62ke2pkWZw" target="_blank">WATCH THE VIDEO</a>:</b></span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/l62ke2pkWZw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qrxajaXCFFY/X6v9n7AomoI/AAAAAAAAT_o/1U2kehEFs9c2XtLQd3v5HVc1KNYIWhuswCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/peacefulchords-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you’re a serious guitar player no doubt by now you’ve figured out that rhythm and chording are two of the most important areas of your playing! The better your rhythm is – the better the feel you’ll have. And, the more chords that you know, the more versatile rhythm guitarist that you’ll be.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
Now, something else you need to keep in mind is how learning how to play unique and interesting sounding chords will end up setting you apart from other guitar players. And, knowing those chords will help you establish a sound as a guitarist that becomes unique to you as a musician.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
So, in this lesson we’re going to explore some of these sounds across what are often referred to as “Peaceful” sounding chords. These are chords that offer a distinct sound within the music that you write (and even more than that), these chords influence how you play the music that becomes a staple part of your repertoire. So, grab your guitar, and let’s get started learning about these chord types.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CONCLUSION:</b><br />So, there you have it. There is a list of seven of the World’s Most Peaceful chords and not only can you start learning how to integrate these patterns into your guitar playing, but over time you’ll get a command over their sound. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Better chord control means that you’ll be able to begin using them to compose music and get the peaceful "worldly" nature of these chords operating within any and all of the music that you’re arranging!
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Also, keep in mind that because these chords will slowly start to integrate into your routine, you’ll have them at your disposal as a normal part of playing rhythm guitar whenever you want or need them used in a song. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Get to know each chords notes, the chords' fret-board layouts and how to both alter and move them around. Once you have these chords integrated into your playing, you’ll start finding them useful in many different types of playing situations.

<span style="font-size: large;">This video will show you how to use the most popular notes that are found in common dyad melodic statements performed by the world's top guitar players. You'll learn how to apply them and how they can be modified to work in different musical situations.
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>

There's also an example riff for you to learn as well that demonstrates the effects of this idea.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>WHY RANK IT AS NUMBER ONE?</b><br />If you had to pick one example of a technique so widely used and one that carried such a strong impact upon the listener when it’s applied, what would that technique be? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">What technique is used by every famous guitar player, whether that’s; Eric Clapton, or Jimi Hendrix, or Slash, or Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour it doesn’t matter who you think of, they all use this one technique and it instantly makes an impact on any idea when performed.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
When I asked my students what they ranked as the most powerful guitar technique they all agreed on the same technique.</span><br /> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/pages.php?page=cart&action=details&vid=7" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SCcKCFr68IM/VP8KyjZsciI/AAAAAAAAD5g/DqMaegyptKc/s320/301x251_using-major-scale-modes-final-ad.jpg" /></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">They all heard about this technique and many of them had even tried it. But they weren’t 100 percent positive about how this technique was organized on the fingerboard and how it worked musically when it was applied in a song or a solo. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So, let’s find out the best way to learn and master the application of this number one ranked technique on guitar!
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
The dyad, also often called the “Double-Stop,” is an interval. But, we don’t focus on every interval when we solo or play melodies. We tend to focus on 3rd’s as our most popular interval, and that’s what our initial focus has to be if you want to learn Dyad’s fast. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The 3rd’s that you need to know are the major and minor. So, let’s start with those ones right now.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

<p><span style="font-size: large;">In a recent online poll, pop music was declared as the most sad music, with country, R and B and soul coming in close behind. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">On the guitar we tend to hear an interesting blend of all these "sad" music styles performed as instrumental pieces. Often times this musical blend is played on the acoustic guitar. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">For the guitar player, one problem with learning to play this emotional style of music can be not knowing the best way to approach the chords along with the inter-woven melody lines so that they work together effectively to achieve the best sound.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In this lesson, I put together a collection of the best ways that a guitar player can use to develop both harmony and melody. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/onBSFibQj9w" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/onBSFibQj9w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X8HiL5WR2uI/X6L5MPQAQoI/AAAAAAAAT9c/9UtocoSNQfAVxwC8MdM7wpAFQA2mzQX_ACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/everyone-loves-this-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This emotional style of playing offers up a smooth and captivating sound for both the guitarist, as well as for the listener.

</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 1</b>).
<br />One of the most popular ideas that create this style of guitar playing is the addition of open strings around small chord patterns accompanied by single-note melody lines. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This is a powerful approach to obtaining this emotional guitar sound and it is one that
allows a melody to be built directly into an already existing harmony.
Here’s an example, (see below) of exactly how this can work. </span><br /></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QbVsf8fFZpU/X6L_EJTrLXI/AAAAAAAAT9o/nzZK2B_3NHoBlT4h4IdmK2Od6xNxgOPhwCLcBGAsYHQ/s950/0001-chord-pattern-set.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="442" data-original-width="950" height="186" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QbVsf8fFZpU/X6L_EJTrLXI/AAAAAAAAT9o/nzZK2B_3NHoBlT4h4IdmK2Od6xNxgOPhwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h186/0001-chord-pattern-set.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Coming up next, I’ve got another way for you to be able to add this type of guitar style into your playing.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 2</b>). <br />Another interesting compositional idea that works very well to generate this style of playing is based upon adding a wider interval between the notes in use up in the treble along with bass-tones. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The larger separation between bass and treble tones (typically separated by at least one guitar string), will go a long way to producing a sweet sound from the guitar.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Along with the larger interval you’ll also still want to maintain the use of a few open guitar strings as well.

<p><span style="font-size: large;">Most of us don’t spend enough time working on really effective ways for understanding how the neck works - which is costing every guitar player not only the chance to build the best awareness for the instrument that we can - it's costing us the understanding for how music works on the neck.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this video, I show you the best way to learn the neck for a better awareness of scales and tonality with a 3-string shape that anyone can memorize in only a few minutes by realizing just one small (but important) understanding of the way you can use this powerful shape. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://youtu.be/Bf2MasktHig" target="_blank">WATCH THE VIDEO</a>:</b></span></p><p> <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/Bf2MasktHig" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m6K5CcWXzk8/X57h68kHlyI/AAAAAAAAT8Q/5Y-4e2388mc5yZ98mwIOriEQbWIs8ebSgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/thebestwaytolearn-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">In this lesson I’m going to show you the best way to learn the neck across the all-important lower string groups. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This low string group area (that we are going to study), is easy to learn once you know the note locations for how everything is laid out and the layout is easy to memorize - there’s practically nothing to it.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
But, what is most valuable is how incredibly important it is to learn how to navigate using the notes of the shape we’ll cover because these notes are the most important ones for locating root notes on the fingerboard. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;">Once you can become familiar with the 6th, 5th and 4th guitar string note names you’ll be able to use them to learn to play pretty much any song that you encounter moving forward in your musical studies.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
So, grab your guitar and I’ll begin by showing you how to get into learning this shape as it sits on the guitar fret-board, so that you can take it and start using it right away to learn your neck at a much higher level of awareness!
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
<b>Example 1</b>). The note group, (you can see below), is very easy to understand because it is so linear and geometrical. We refer to this layout as, "Double Whole-Steps."</span><br /></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NfwkXAHDRZo/X57-wxESd_I/AAAAAAAAT8c/bdq-yv0ifQsTY8TS4cKF1i1v78gO7iSGwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/shape-001-blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="1000" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NfwkXAHDRZo/X57-wxESd_I/AAAAAAAAT8c/bdq-yv0ifQsTY8TS4cKF1i1v78gO7iSGwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/shape-001-blog.png" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The red dot is going to be our target tone and it functions as our Minor Key root. The layout is called a double whole-step MINOR layout due to the two-note distance between the root and the other tones. This layout will always occur in every key that we have in music.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Every key that we use to learn and compose a piece of music in will have this double whole step shape. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This shape is always behind the root in Minor keys:</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l8pzCjzZdZ8/X57_ZTkh-zI/AAAAAAAAT8k/h4nQLcXK-u8dP7p5eXRXap0Et-Ua6BDdACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/shape-005-blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="242" data-original-width="1000" height="96" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l8pzCjzZdZ8/X57_ZTkh-zI/AAAAAAAAT8k/h4nQLcXK-u8dP7p5eXRXap0Et-Ua6BDdACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h96/shape-005-blog.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And, it will occur ahead of the major key root in major keys. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p3JJ3D_SBR0/X57_ignxq3I/AAAAAAAAT8o/akC_jyIJ3AE72dPi3nmyBgXSjg3bc_IUACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/shape-006-blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="235" data-original-width="1000" height="94" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p3JJ3D_SBR0/X57_ignxq3I/AAAAAAAAT8o/akC_jyIJ3AE72dPi3nmyBgXSjg3bc_IUACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h94/shape-006-blog.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 2</b>). Above the middle note of the MINOR double whole step pattern is another important tone. This tone is called the, "relative tone." </span><br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-os_qFb5lrKw/X57_3gjFmgI/AAAAAAAAT8w/ivElZQT3-usU-vcNVx93u8jWAhWw8rxdQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/shape-002-blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="1000" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-os_qFb5lrKw/X57_3gjFmgI/AAAAAAAAT8w/ivElZQT3-usU-vcNVx93u8jWAhWw8rxdQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/shape-002-blog.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Relative in this example refers to the Major key root in relationship to the root of our double whole step pattern. It also functions as a color tone that’s called the "Minor Third."</span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 3</b>). Below the Root of the Double Whole Step Minor Pattern is another important tone. It’s called the “Perfect 5th.” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The 5th is a tone which can offer us a lot of impact in a riff or in a melody line, so it’s important to learn about where it is and what it can offer.</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-57DJc_f8pFA/X58AYFa-2HI/AAAAAAAAT84/z_7fif9zrDcGIXiLKuqRg4Po03ZjJCr9wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/shape-003-blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="353" data-original-width="1000" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-57DJc_f8pFA/X58AYFa-2HI/AAAAAAAAT84/z_7fif9zrDcGIXiLKuqRg4Po03ZjJCr9wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/shape-003-blog.png" width="320" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Coming up next, I’m going to review all of the notes of this important double whole-step shape.

<p><span style="font-size: large;">In this video, I’m going to show you the fastest way to address working on all of this and it comes out of beginning with the performance of simple "single note line" melodies. The single melodic form of a vocal line or of a primary melodic idea, (from an instrumental part) is critical to start with. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/KIOiRhZhFoQ" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/KIOiRhZhFoQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eYFoeeT3bdo/X5nanlsRAFI/AAAAAAAAT78/IrJwpVSUhDYVqxFga3l0-JrvGJzd31g2ACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/stuck-at-guitar-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The second stage of development is based around building chords off of the established single note melody. This is more difficult, but can be made easier through two practice directions. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">First, you need to discover a small collection of ways to exert second and third notes that will expand the harmonic range. Second, you need to think in respect to velocity, (the change of positions) across the span of the neck.
</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
This lesson will show you how to blast through one of the main reasons that guitar players get stuck in their playing and why guitarists start to feel like they just can’t make decent progress. </span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">What you’ll learn is actually how simple it can be to start incorporating a very easy method of; learning a melody, mapping it out across the neck, working through any melody, (getting up to a level of solid performance and commitment to memory), and finally the really cool part of this will be creating chords around the melody. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The best part is that you don’t need to know any music theory or how to read music and you don’t even need to understand how the neck works. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This exercise uses only your ear and focuses on how harmony is built across the strings using a few common shapes! So, grab your guitar and let’s get started. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>EXERCISE 1). MELODY</b><br />Our first step will be all about learning a very simple melodic idea that is common and has been performed by many different artists over the years. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">For our example, we’re going to check out an old melody written back in the year 1835. This melody has been covered by everyone from Johnny Cash, to Willie Nelson and even Chet Atkins did an instrumental of it. The piece is called, “Just As I Am.” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">To get started, let’s focus on playing and learning the basic melody taken from the piece.</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YkwmydLyjOM/X5m3wy2fT8I/AAAAAAAAT7k/3cKuKU7hte0hu1xQMCY1i9LmaPyCByaxACLcBGAsYHQ/s1001/phrase-001.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1000" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YkwmydLyjOM/X5m3wy2fT8I/AAAAAAAAT7k/3cKuKU7hte0hu1xQMCY1i9LmaPyCByaxACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/phrase-001.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">So, coming up next I’ve got a great idea to show you that involves building out a melody so that it focuses on getting organized on a group of chords that connect to the part. It’s just like you’ll hear by famous guitarists’ like Chet Atkins or Mark Knopffler... </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer related to my new edition of the; Handouts Collection eBook. </span></p>

Here’s how it all works.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Keep the melody tones located up at the top (highest pitch) end of the harmony that you're building. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Test play through several lower tones that are available within a 3-fret range and determine the most harmonious note connections.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Intermix single-note segments along with 2 and 3 note chords. Balance the spacing of all of the chords that are used with individual notes with a goal of creating an interesting harmonic flow.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you know your musical keys, and you are familiar with a lot of chords plus you understand intervals, you'll find that you'll be much faster at producing harmonies.</span><br /></p>

<span style="font-size: large;">That said, if you've never tried playing a solo with a box shape before then the pattern I’m going show you in this lesson could help you tremendously because the larger more complex scales can leave a lot of potential on the table. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/HT6FPvwQ6BQ" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/HT6FPvwQ6BQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o7IXVqo6Yu0/X5Wxn1_NNdI/AAAAAAAAT6E/8yFPodcTyVo8tHOQdRoheAEWZHVhoe4AACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/double-box-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><p></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>THE BOX SHAPE</b>:<br />What I have for you is probably the fastest and easiest path to playing solos that you could ever learn about. You’ve probably already heard of the guitar’s “Box” shape for soloing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You may not fully understand what it is, or how it works, and that’s fine. Sometimes this topic can get a little confusing because there’s more than one “box shape” out there to study and understand on the neck.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Let me help you become familiar with how one of the most common box shapes for guitar operates. We'll also learn how you can study this shape. Most importantly you'll learn how easy it is to apply this box shape and how to start soloing with it VERY quickly! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Grab your guitar and I’ll begin by showing you how to get into learning the way that the box shape sits on the guitar fret-board. The first step will be to learn it and start using it. After that, you'll be able to integrate it for use in your guitar solos.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>BASIC BOX</b>:<br />The box (shown below), is very easy to understand because it is literally a rectangular box pattern on the fingerboard. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The root note is highlighted in red and is positioned at the 5th string’s 7th-fret. That note is an “E” so this means that our shape is rooted on the “E” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here’s how the "Box" shape sits on the neck off of the “E” root. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g1VfK56rhHg/X5WzUAOo73I/AAAAAAAAT6Q/X-yXkUbmRRYxyMFN6McWig8JlJUSOrIIACLcBGAsYHQ/s950/01A-double-box-blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="330" data-original-width="950" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g1VfK56rhHg/X5WzUAOo73I/AAAAAAAAT6Q/X-yXkUbmRRYxyMFN6McWig8JlJUSOrIIACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/01A-double-box-blog.png" width="320" /></a></div><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The named tones are outlined below:<br />Notice the additional "A" tone indicated on the 6th-string</span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iWdgy8z-ljQ/X5Wzbs873XI/AAAAAAAAT6U/TSSfTgcZ2toI6IB2ovN_EKP3Y0HnoUxRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/01B-double-box-blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="1000" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iWdgy8z-ljQ/X5Wzbs873XI/AAAAAAAAT6U/TSSfTgcZ2toI6IB2ovN_EKP3Y0HnoUxRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/01B-double-box-blog.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><b><br /></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>BACK-DROP /JAM-TRACK</b>:<br />To apply this shape we need to have a back-drop practice harmony for it. Our back-drop is going to be based upon the color of how our root note sits on the neck and how the other tones are situated around the root. </span></p><p> </p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YR8lX50D0SI/X5W0TAibgWI/AAAAAAAAT6g/6gKpJXvG3osTphyEIJXYT12yAku2_Y_JACLcBGAsYHQ/s750/boogie.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="460" data-original-width="750" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YR8lX50D0SI/X5W0TAibgWI/AAAAAAAAT6g/6gKpJXvG3osTphyEIJXYT12yAku2_Y_JACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/boogie.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The two circled notes that you see below are the critical tones related to the root. Because those tones are a whole step away from the root they end up establishing the color of Minor. </span></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5y-OMr5DO3Y/X5W0ro5AOiI/AAAAAAAAT6o/qakuhWymgBsXG-xzV9gaiEVK3Ku_SjbvwCLcBGAsYHQ/s950/01C-double-box-VIDEO.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="311" data-original-width="950" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5y-OMr5DO3Y/X5W0ro5AOiI/AAAAAAAAT6o/qakuhWymgBsXG-xzV9gaiEVK3Ku_SjbvwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/01C-double-box-VIDEO.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The cool thing about the "Box" is that you can also use this shape over the Blues Dominant sound as well. Practice creating melodies with the jam example (shown above). It will begin to start helping you with applying the shape and its sound.
</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

Coming up, I’ve got more to show you on this box shape. Plus, I can help you learn how to start integrating it into your playing. But first, I want to tell you about a special promotional offer so that you can find out how to get yourself a copy of my popular Guitar Handouts Collection eBook.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>SHIFTING THE BOX</b>:<br /><i>The Fourth and Third String Box Pattern</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">One of the coolest things about the box pattern is how versatile it can make our guitar playing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">As we move the shape elsewhere on the neck we gain more ground for soloing with it. In our next example, we’ll place this “E” box-shape between 4th and 3rd strings. </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nwf3-CcoHYA/X5W1gBJxGUI/AAAAAAAAT6w/XqOzbzkZ1M44u2MhErORg4czsQQZsxhPACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/02-double-box-Blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="285" data-original-width="1000" height="114" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nwf3-CcoHYA/X5W1gBJxGUI/AAAAAAAAT6w/XqOzbzkZ1M44u2MhErORg4czsQQZsxhPACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h114/02-double-box-Blog.png" width="400" /></a></div> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Learn the note names:</b></i><br />Take notice of the new arrangement of the notes within the box and how we gain a new note of "B" under our new location of the "E" root.</span><br /> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BONLlZRORho/X5W1wUm_7sI/AAAAAAAAT64/mEI35hOW9rMAlTAjYn5ytpuJOcbRVTuBACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/02B-double-box-Blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="285" data-original-width="1000" height="114" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BONLlZRORho/X5W1wUm_7sI/AAAAAAAAT64/mEI35hOW9rMAlTAjYn5ytpuJOcbRVTuBACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h114/02B-double-box-Blog.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Second and First String Box Pattern</i>
<br />We can take the box shape even further along the neck yet by placing it up into the top two guitar strings like this.</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JeXsjVCQqiA/X5W5-crF1iI/AAAAAAAAT7A/3tVdBMhx8JwMFvKop2iki1fhI0nXfvBbACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/03-double-box-Blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="282" data-original-width="1000" height="113" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JeXsjVCQqiA/X5W5-crF1iI/AAAAAAAAT7A/3tVdBMhx8JwMFvKop2iki1fhI0nXfvBbACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h113/03-double-box-Blog.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><i><b> </b></i><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Learn the note names:</b></i><br />Take notice of the arrangement of the notes within the box and how we maintain the note of
"B" under our new location of the "E" root.</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5yFUtH7zkF8/X5W6Mn7-2MI/AAAAAAAAT7E/WzCLpmxpjRsfT1pymPz7t73PArb36t4EACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/03B-double-box-Blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="286" data-original-width="1000" height="115" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5yFUtH7zkF8/X5W6Mn7-2MI/AAAAAAAAT7E/WzCLpmxpjRsfT1pymPz7t73PArb36t4EACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h115/03B-double-box-Blog.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CONCLUSION</b>:<br />If you don’t know very many scales and you want to start soloing as quickly as possible, you just can’t beat these box shape patterns. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They’re super easy to apply, and they make playing solos really fast and really easy to understand on the guitar. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Even if you do know a few scales, there’s still some pretty cool ideas that can come from what we’d just refer to as “shape based” soloing. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">So, spend some time on these box layouts, I can pretty much guarantee you that you’re going to get into playing solos with them, no matter what level of guitar player that you are.

I’m not talking about a secret exercise that nobody knows about. This is a very straight forward scale drill that is only 2 bars long... </b></span>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/membership_plans.php" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fEXSBgofTrg/WOJaEoqaiwI/AAAAAAAAJS0/PGIu-LkrMAEXXbr8uaGk3LwLIMpfX7XgwCLcB/s1600/membership_ad.png" /></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">All the pros have worked on these types of picking drills at some point because developing them will make a huge difference in how the left and right hands interact. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">With an exercise like this one, the balance between each hand improves along with an increase in the general feel for steady accurate picking. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Remember, the hand that we're really focused on working in this study is the pick-hand.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/SXAjZoEUNZ8" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/SXAjZoEUNZ8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bEboMS45ip4/X5BpWAnC4wI/AAAAAAAAT5Q/LLFJUkeYNgAJG0FFgt25-DaBU9zPQyxggCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/10_notes_Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">That said, it’s not going to be easy to develop this exercise. In this video, I’m going to make sure that you aware of your own efforts that will be required. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And, you'll also need to keep in mind that through the development of this drill, (and through the course of learning this drill) I hope it becomes revealed to you how much more that your picking can improve along the way. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this post, I am going to give you one of the keys to getting great left and right hand picking control. This is an exercise that you can do before playing anything on guitar. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/pages.php?page=cart&action=details&vid=7" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SCcKCFr68IM/VP8KyjZsciI/AAAAAAAAD5g/DqMaegyptKc/s320/301x251_using-major-scale-modes-final-ad.jpg" /></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The best part is that this exercise is only 10 notes so it takes very little time out of your day to do. Plus, this drill provides you with the benefits of getting a solid development established out of your picking, as well as your fretting skill. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

And, one book that you might want to consider looking into getting is the, “Al DiMeola - Picking Techniques Book.” </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Hal Leonard still publishes it. And, it covers several ideas like this one! And, I know that when I first worked through this book years ago, it made a big impact on my guitar picking technique.

<a href="http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/membership_plans.php" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fEXSBgofTrg/WOJaEoqaiwI/AAAAAAAAJS0/PGIu-LkrMAEXXbr8uaGk3LwLIMpfX7XgwCLcB/s1600/membership_ad.png" /></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The focus of this lesson is based upon rhythm development along with gaining a better grasp of the basic use of chord skills and their integrated involvement. If these areas are weak for you, then you are definitely going to want to watch this video. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">In it, I’m going to show you an expanding syncopated rhythm exercise that you can study slowly and you can do every single day. The exercise can be learned so that it can gradually help you reach new (more complex) skill levels. Yet it can be done at you own rate of progress. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/lHiQLIMEwUk" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/lHiQLIMEwUk" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="535" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7uwvDBuEdR4/X4xXSksHj2I/AAAAAAAAT30/9nPqau-uFT8eWypOS9f3ehxu_lqQJY2iwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/play-for-a-month-Vid-Link.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Do you need to learn how to master chords and rhythm guitar? If you said "No," think again because this is the one area for guitar players that can make or break the development of having solid rhythm and groove skills. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here's why, rhythm is an area of playing music that most practicing guitar players never reach their full potential in. This means developing your rhythm and chords up to a very high level of skill can be one of the most valuable things that a musician will ever do. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">In this lesson I’m going to cover how you can take a 3-measure rhythmic idea and practice this idea for just one month. Once you develop this rhythm you’ll be able to expand upon it (in several ways), and that will allow you to take it even further in your playing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So, grab your guitar and let's get started by starting with how to get into learning more about rhythm exercise warm-ups right now. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 1</b>). <b>Rhythm Warm-Ups</b><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If rhythms are relatively new for you, you’ll need to begin with a warm-up exercise consisting of following along to a metronome or a drum matching and performing; quarter-notes, eighth-notes, and sixteenth-notes in time - with the beat.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Quarter-Notes: </i></b></span><br /></p>

This is the essence of syncopation. <br /></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">Another thing that happens is we have a measure of 2/4 time right in the middle of this groove. This means that our stress on the next measure (when we return to 4/4 time), needs to have a greater accent upon the down beat. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">When you put all of these things together, you have a practice groove that makes for an excellent practice exercise, and once this groove is mastered (which could take either a few hours for some players, or possibly a few weeks for others). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Once the groove is mastered it can offer a lot of benefits for not only when we see new rhythms like this, but it can also make those simple grooves (we commonly use in songs) start to feel a lot smoother and a lot easier to perform.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">So, next, I want to start expanding upon this exercise by introducing a few chord options…</span> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/pages.php?page=cart&action=details&vid=72" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9Mu5MBMc4oo/VKGbniNZHLI/AAAAAAAADYU/XTjbn4f5h-4/s1600/301x251_Blues-ad.jpg" /></a></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 2</b>). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Applying intervals to the rhythm for harmony
I often like starting my students off with the use of power chords and simple 2-note intervals to help get them used to performing some harmony over these complex rhythms. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">Now, the intervals I’ve organized for this example are; B, F#, G and E power-chords. As well as, a 2-note “C# and E,” passing interval, into a “D Major” dyad, and finally into a slightly larger open chord of, “G Major.” </span></p>
<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XWT0_eWCyxs/X4xcjqcW4cI/AAAAAAAAT4s/ntChF_9-8BgVO7VfQHBV0rZhxGgu25OvQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/002-Basic-Single-Note-Rhythm.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="283" data-original-width="1000" height="114" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XWT0_eWCyxs/X4xcjqcW4cI/AAAAAAAAT4s/ntChF_9-8BgVO7VfQHBV0rZhxGgu25OvQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h114/002-Basic-Single-Note-Rhythm.png" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Example 3</b>). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Applying larger chords to the rhythm
As a student’s rhythm improves, I like to move their playing into more involved chord types. These typically include the triad family of chords. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the final example that I have for you, we’re going to play over the rhythm exercise with a group of triads.
If you want to improve your rhythm and your chord skills spend some time learning these types of syncopated riffs... </span></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-THDYdtRvtzw/X4xc4sAXT5I/AAAAAAAAT44/m8MADRQr1L4yaC6IvYDcV5cdMLIYRRH0wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/003-Basic-Single-Note-Rhythm.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="270" data-original-width="1000" height="108" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-THDYdtRvtzw/X4xc4sAXT5I/AAAAAAAAT44/m8MADRQr1L4yaC6IvYDcV5cdMLIYRRH0wCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h108/003-Basic-Single-Note-Rhythm.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They work the best when they’re only around 2 or 3 measures long. And, you’ll want to keep in mind that these crazy off-time rhythm grooves will definitely produce some really amazing results - because they provide you with a chance to understand the off-beat much better... </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">Which has a counter effect of developing your feel (for all types of timing that you’ll encounter in different pieces of music), at a much higher level of playing. So, if you invest as little as a month into this type of work, it will pay off huge. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve practiced on a lot of these grooves myself and they work wonders. I’ve also taught them to a lot of my students (for many years now), and I can tell you that they are great for every level of guitar player. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">Also, I should let you know that if you enjoy this type of practice, there’s a course in the Members Area of <a href="http://CreativeGuitarStudio.com"><b>CreativeGuitarStudio.com</b></a> that’s called “<b>Rhythm Guitar</b>,” and it’s dedicated to specifically this type of work. </span></p>

</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this post we are talking all about ways to use that will lead you closer to mastering your guitar today. There’s four points that I’ve labeled as "four things I’d like you to consider that you’d give up in order to create a better approach to learning." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And, if you want to become the best guitar player that you can be, it’s important to start into that direction with the suggestions that I have for you here in this video. So, let’s get started with number one.
</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.creativeguitarstudio.com/pages.php?page=cart&action=details&vid=7" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SCcKCFr68IM/VP8KyjZsciI/AAAAAAAAD5g/DqMaegyptKc/s320/301x251_using-major-scale-modes-final-ad.jpg" /></a></div>

<p> </p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1</b>).<b> STOP PLAYING THE SAME STUFF</b>:<br />The first one is; “Give Up Playing the Same Stuff Every Practice Session.” Practice time is meant to help get you to develop your skills and that means you’ll want a plan that changes, (if you’ve followed my videos you’ve heard me say that every three weeks your practice schedule needs to change). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If there’s one practice approach I’ve seen fail (and it’s an approach I know that will cause months and possibly even years of stagnation), it is to approach every practice day in the same way. You need change to occur and those changes need to happen at around 3-week intervals.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
When we discuss change that relates to a practice routine, it normally involves changes made to what it is that you have established across some form of a practice period. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you don’t use a practice chart or some type of topic list to follow when you sit down to study guitar, how do you expect to cover the things that will offer you best path to improvement? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A practice chart allows you to focus on what it is specifically that you’re going to study. The work is identified and can be given laser sharp focus so that you reach a level of success.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
It’s a great way to make rapid progress so you definitely need to start doing it today. Making a list of what you want to practice, and sticking to that list for approximately a three week period will do incredible things for your playing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So, remember Give Up, “on Every Practice Session being the Same,” and start following a plan that’s focused on practicing topics that will help you improve you skills across a three week span of time. And, then change that plan and add new topics as the weeks go on.
</span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2</b>). <b>TOO MUCH TIME ON SONG LEARNING</b>:<br />The next thing to Give Up doing is, “Endless Days of Practicing Other Peoples Songs.” I know that it’s fun to play songs that you enjoy and hey let’s face it we absolutely do get something out of learning and playing other people music. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">However, you need to limit that work when you’re still developing your skills, and never allow that type of practice to consume you. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Over the years, I have met so many students that focused almost entirely on only learning songs and restricting their playing and their practice to that of only being focused upon other people’s music.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
This means that (as practicing guitar students), they were ignoring their technical work on areas like; music theory, the development of scales, arpeggios, chord harmony and rhythm development. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I hope that you really take this one to heart, because if you ignore those critical areas of playing and only focus on song learning, your skill development will stagnate and you won’t develop all of your core musical skills.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

OF INTENSIVE STUDY</b>:<br />Before I get into the next thing, (to give up for your quest toward guitar mastery), I need to clarify that every great guitar player generally applies themselves for approximately 2 to 3 years of intensive practice and in-depth study. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In that period guitarists will tend to focus on, learning music theory, rhythm and harmony, chord development, technique all of the core musical material. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Oftentimes this is the period that a student of music will move away, leave friends and family behind and dive head-first into guitar – locked away for hours at a time every day of the week.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">What this really gets into is sacrificing; hobbies, habits and friends for your passion of developing the intense study (the in-depth study) of the art behind mastering your instrument and creating music. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It can be difficult to walk away from going to parties, having fun with friends and leaving behind your hobbies to devote yourself (100 percent) toward learning to become the best that you can be on your instrument. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It doesn’t matter who you are, this period away and this period of "locked away" time you spend (dedicated to the guitar), will be what will ultimately separate you from hundreds of others who want to be musicians, but who will never end up making it.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4</b>). <b>NO MORE KNUCKLE-HEADS</b>:<br />The final thing I would highly suggest that you give up is all the knuckleheads around you who hold you back from achieving what you were meant to achieve on this instrument. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There’s far too much potential in music, (once you begin down the path of learning to play guitar), to be held back by knuckleheads who just want to drink beer and smoke dope, or sit around playing video games instead of you finding people who want the same musical results as you do.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Find people to create music with. Because if you want to create music, if you want to become incredible at playing guitar than surround yourself with other people who are also like that. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Because the knuckleheads who are not a part of the musical world, (and especially those who only want to use you as another human being to drink alcohol, or smoke dope with), those people will never lead you closer nor will they push you further toward your abilities to become the best guitar player and musician that you can be. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So, ditch the knuckleheads and find people who share the same musical goals as you do. That’ll go a long way toward helping you reach the level of playing that you are striving for.

<span style="font-size: large;">In this class, I’m going to show you a guitar soloing exercise that, if you do it late in the evening, will have you soloing more creatively and with more dynamic ideas than you ever had before. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/EZi09a4ndqo" target="_blank"><b>WATCH THE VIDEO</b></a>:</span></p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>LATE NIGHT PRACTICE</b>:<br />Late evening practice is proven to work wonders with artistic creativity, and all you need to do is try the exercise that I provide in this lesson for a few weeks late into the night for proof that this works. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The exercise won’t take you long to do and it will help you get your solos and your creativity up to new levels.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
In this lesson we'll try and focus on the problems associated with the playing and practicing of solos and, in general - creativity. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But, the crazy thing is that these are problems that you really shouldn’t be having. Yet, many musicians will.<br /></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">Let’s start with a quick look at a comment from Noah in my Video "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGj1ynU-PBg" target="_blank"><b>Blues Rock Pattern You Should Do EVERY Morning</b></a>," (about the benefits of practicing early in the morning). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And, in particular where a viewer (named Noah) wrote, “<b><i>My other best practice time is late, an hour or two before bedtime. Lot’s of creativity in those times</i></b>.” </span></p>
<p> </p>

</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">
Late night practice is something to really pay attention to. And, if you approach this in the right way you can have amazing benefits from late night practice time, especially when it comes to creativity... </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Let’s get started. Grab your guitar and I’ll show you an easy but really great way to quickly get some creative practice time in - late at night.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CHORD DEVELOPMENT</b>:<br />The first thing that I need to stress (before you play and practice soloing), is having a short time that you spend, when you first sit down that’s dedicated on composing chord progressions. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">One of the easiest and best chord jams that you can focus on is the I-IV-V progression. Let’s try-out a rare approach to the classic I-IV-V that involves an idea called voice leading.
</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
<b>Example 1</b>).
<br />The progression (that you see below), is in “B Major.” But, the harmony in the 4th measure is applying a unique descending bass line. Spend some time studying how the chords function.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>SCALES DEVELOPMENT</b>:<br />Once you have an interesting group of chord changes organized and you’re ready for some creative work, the next step is to move into a small section of the associated scale, (this would best be a scale that’s built within the same key signature). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This is important so that you can begin getting right into some creative soloing work as quickly as possible. </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p><span style="font-size: large;">I like organizing the scales that I’m going to use for soloing in two regions along the guitar fingerboard. The first of these is generally off of a two string lateral approach that uses the notes of the Pentatonic. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here’s the pattern for the key of our progression. It’s a, “B Major” Pentatonic off of a 5th string - second fret root note. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b> 5th String Root:</b></i></span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wlni0bVvWVc/X4Mh0VtkD8I/AAAAAAAAT2s/Kspm1B99-No6KTM7kle-yPSO6OVfrnEEACLcBGAsYHQ/s1100/pattern-01-Blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="1100" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wlni0bVvWVc/X4Mh0VtkD8I/AAAAAAAAT2s/Kspm1B99-No6KTM7kle-yPSO6OVfrnEEACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/pattern-01-Blog.png" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also like extending into an upper group of notes for more range. In this case we’ll go off 3rd string, and when doing that I also like to experiment with including a scale tone or two, in this case a 4th. (E). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>3rd String Root: </i></b></span><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X6M5Xwr5lwA/X4MiLBnRMyI/AAAAAAAAT20/jLMgAUB81HkOYDvDi_dfxQFx9J9VQa3vQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/pattern-02-Blog.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="418" data-original-width="1200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X6M5Xwr5lwA/X4MiLBnRMyI/AAAAAAAAT20/jLMgAUB81HkOYDvDi_dfxQFx9J9VQa3vQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/pattern-02-Blog.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>LATE NIGHT /EVENING CREATIVITY: </b><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
I am going to bet that if you try spending some serious time on; soloing, along with writing chord progressions, even recording, or songwriting later in the evening - you are going to find that the late evening is one of the best times for creative work. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You’ll probably discover that you’ll get really cool ideas and unique sounding phrases in the later hours of the night.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">
I’m not sure why this is exactly. There have been some studies that say the human body is more alert to sounds, smells, and sensations during the darker hours of the night time. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There has also been research saying that creativity hits a high plateau at night because of the darkness of night-time and its association with the unknown, (which can cause our imagination to run wild).
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><span style="font-size: large;">
Whatever it is, if you haven’t tried it yet - then be sure to apply the chord progression and scale concept I talked about in this lesson and give it a go. Ninety percent of songwriters and musicians swear by the later evening hours for peak creativity and I know it definitely works for me as well.
