May I suggest that you begin with a very easy melody with just one voice or maybe a two voice piece with bass notes on open strings. Learn a couple of bars by heart and play the melody over and over again and try to change the melody slightly without losing the classical touch.

When I was a fifteen years old guitarist playing rock solos and classical guitar pieces I remember that I had a desire to be able to improvise on my guitar in a classical manner. Nowadays I have developed this skill and I love to improvise in the style of composers like Sor, Tarrega, Paganini or others or just trying to find myself somewhere among the notes. These special moments are a form of meditation that clears my mind and also helps me as a composer to stimulate my creative abilities.

The ultimate exercise is to use advanced classical guitar solos. If you think about it you will realize that classical guitar pieces are filled with wonderful licks, more or less complicated. These licks can be developed and added upon to give you material that will help you developing your improvisational skills. For example, take a two bar passage in a classical guitar piece that you like and practice it until you master it and then memorize it. Now you can play around with it and break it down, change it, analyze it and so on. If you want to improve as an improvisational guitarist and musician you can regard classical guitar pieces as collections of very musical licks just waiting to be used.

I hope you feel motivated to try these hints and reap the benefits from improvising the classical way. I described how I was affected by this type of guitar playing and I guess you might feel the same. Good luck!

There are many ways to develop this skill. You can start with major scales, experiment with easy chords, or easy classical guitar pieces. The most basic requisite is that you want to learn this art and with this desire you will find ways to practice improvisation in all your guitar playing. I will just mention using classical guitar pieces in this article.

The most important reason for learning classical guitar improvisation is that it's fun! If you learn classical guitar improvisation it will also help you memorizing sheet music, it will be easier for you to compose your own guitar pieces in a classical guitar style, you can make up your own techniqal exercices on the go and it will help you understand your guitar in a better way.

It's all about the intervals...

Because we've chosen Ionian, the intervals of that scale are as follows...

Now, the reason we have a particular order for these modes/scales is because when you put them together in that sequence using the intervals of the major/Ionian scale, you get one big scale. Let me explain...

4. Lydian - a flavour of the major/Ionian scale

Guitar Lesson - Mode Mysteries

Say you wanted to solo over the E major chord. You could just select the first mode, Ionian, because it's a major mode. You need to find the root note of the E major chord (E) and start whatever mode you want to solo over it from that root note (of course, you don't have to START the solo on the root note, just make sure you start on a note that's within that scale - the SCALE starts on the root note).

- Phrygian is the 3rd mode

- the 2nd note of Phrygian is the root of the next mode, Lydian

- follow the order of modes to the 4th note...

It means once you know which "flavour"/mode you want to solo over a chord, you can follow the sequence of intervals in that mode and suddenly, all the other modes in sequence at those intervals become part of that same flavour and scale!

7. Locrian - the odd one out. Diminished scale.

It's true that most guitarists ignore the theory side of things, and it's no surprise - the majority of sites and books out there don't exactly make it look..."fun".

e.g. picking a random one out the air... What mode starts (has its root note on) on the 4th note of Phrygian?...

So What Does This Mean?!

2. Dorian - a flavour of the natural minor scale

What's interesting is you can use the note intervals of WHATEVER mode you're playing and use each note as a starting point for the next mode in sequence - e.g....

I know, I know, it's kind of obvious why a lot of guitarists just cannot be bothered, but I promise you, learning the modes is so so beneficial because not only will you learn to add "flavour" to the same old major/minor lead guitar, but knowing this also leads onto being able to write songs at the snap of your fingers and have a visual map of each mode scale all up the fretboard - no more box playing!

This is the relationship between the modes and their intervals that many guitarists fail to see, they just learn the boxed mode shapes and don't realise how they all tie in together.

If you were playing Dorian over a minor chord, the next mode is Phrygian - because it's the next mode, it starts on the 2nd note of Dorian!

5. Mixolydian - a flavour of the major/Ionian scale built around dominant 7th chords.

1 W 2 W 3 H 4 W 5 W 6 W 7 H 1

So do invest some time into learning the modes and how they work. You'll only understand how important they are once you learn them! It's weird that way!

The best way to think of modes are as scales. These scales, like the pentatonic or major scale can be mapped out on the fretboard. Think of the modes as "flavours" of the major and natural minor scales.

6. Aeolian - the natural minor scale the other minor modes are based around

- Learn the intervals of each mode (e.g. we looked at 1st mode Ionian's intervals above)

- Learn the order of modes, so you'll know which mode applies to each note in each mode (this does take some time)

The answer is: Aeolian

- Play "A Dorian" over the A minor chord

- The 2nd note in A Dorian is a whole step higher, so it's B

- The mode after Dorian is Phrygian

- Therefore, you can play B Phrygian over A minor and it will sound like Dorian!!!

1. Ionian - this is just the "major scale", but it's also the first and most important mode in western music.

The 7 modes are, in order:

3. Phrygian - a flavour of the natural minor scale with a Spanish flamenco feel

W= Whole step (2 fret interval) H= Half step (1 fret interval)

E.g.

If you were playing Lydian over a major chord, the next mode is Mixolydian, so because it's the next mode, it starts on the 2nd note of Lydian.

Each sculpture in the Rock Iconz series is hand-numbered and displayed on an attractive wooden base.

5. Distortion - What is distortion? Why is it important in the equation of getting good rock guitar tone? Well, distortion is the crackling of sound. You probably know that, but just in case, the question now becomes, what is a 'good' crackling of sound. The secret is in the ear of the beholder, so really only you can decide what good distortion is. Try lots of pedals and different amps and try to figure out what kind of distortion makes you sound best. Some people like bluesy, overdriven type of distortion, while some people like total chaos, fire-breathing inferno distortion, and let me tell you, if you are looking for it, it is out there, in some strange colored pedal. Distortion helps us cover up our mistakes, but not only that, but it makes you feel cooler inside, sustain notes and make them breathe, and much more. Try to do some research on guitarist that you like their tone, and see if you can find what kind of pedal and amps they use.

3. Humbuckers - You want humbuckers on your guitar for a couple reasons. The main one is that is produces more sounds, it is 2 magnets, not just 1, so there is more sustain, tone, and most of all, when pushed, create more distortion... hoo ray! We love distortion here! Another thing that makes humbuckers cooler than single coils is that they are quite. Don't you hate how single coils buzz? Isn't it really annoying when you think there is someone in the room with you, but it is just the buzz of your neck pickup? I know you have... admit it... anyways, humbuckers are quite, produce more sound, more distortion, killer sustain and most of all look cool! Go out and get some humbuckers for your axe today. It's ok, you won't be dissapointed. Even the cool mini humbuckers that fit into a single coil slot sound great and if you really don't want to miss your single coil twang, you can get a coil splitter or a push-pull volume or tone control to switch your mini humbucker into a single coil. Aren't humbuckers great?

6 Essential Elements To Getting The Best Rock Guitar Tone

6. Feeling - If there is one thing that you need have to get the best rock guitar tone you are capable of, it is to put all your feeling, attention and focus on what you are doing. Once, back when I was in music school, a well respected musician said to me, was "Once you are done learning all that stuff, you have to learn to forget it and then the magic starts to happen!" So, feel the music, feel it in your heart... take everything you know and touch the celestial, play the things you really want to, let the music take control and just give it all your energy letting the spirit of music flow through row body, into the strings, through the cord, into the amp and making the speakers wail! Feeling... it is a beautiful thing

4. Locking Tremolo System (aka Floyd Rose) - Why do you need a locking tremolo system? You need it because to do all the cool airplane whammy divebombs, kitten purrs, and extreme harmonic divebombs you need a locking tremolo system. Why? because they do 2 things, the first is stay in tune during all this chaos and abuse you put your poor guitar through, but also because these systems are the only ones designed for these kind of advanced guitar, and musical maneuvers, attempted by many, but successful and perfected by few. If you want to see some cool stuff on guitar divebomb whammy's check out Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani or some unknown guys on YouTube who are really great! Go have a ball going crazy on your new locking tremolo system equipped guitar, and have a smile on your face after because your beauty if still in tune, ready to rock on... wherever you take it!

2. Big Strings - Big strings are essential to big rock guitar tone because they contain the more mass, therefore move more air, creating a larger magnetic field, resulting in the speakers moving more, in essence, rocking more! Big, fat, juicy strings bring out the lows of the guitar and also make your high's more precise, louder and evenly balanced in volume to the other strings. Bigger strings also give you more grip, allowing you more control and manipulation over the guitar strings. Big strings are even more essential on guitars that are de-tuned... once you de-tune a guitar, the strings slack a lot and when you strike the strings hard they go out of tune, so most rock guys who de-tune most of the time; like down to D, C, B, A should use some pretty heavy strings. My recommendation is use at least 13's if you are tuning down crazy low. However, if you are a regular or Eb tuner, try to use 10's or 11's on your guitar, they won't rip your hands apart and will give you much better tone. For your info, Stevie Ray Vaughan used 13's and it is said he used to have to super glue his fingertips on after shows... that's rocking!

Getting awesome rock guitar tone is not hard. I have heard professional players play through low-quality, out-of-tune, distorted equipment and it sounded great! This says 2 things; one - your tone is in your hands, two - distortion is a good thing and on your side! In most history of the speaker, the goal was to be crystal clear, not until some rocker decided to turn his amp up too loud and distort the sound,real rock guitar tone was born. As an added fact, I forget who, but some famous guitarist actually used to buy radio brand shack speakers (because they sounded the worst), and then cut them with razor blades to get the sound they were looking for... beautiful. Ok, let's move on to the 7 essential elements to getting the best rock guitar tone.

Electric Blue-Bass Guitar-Music-String-Framed Art Print

Final step. Pick 2 songs to learn next week and practice them the same way we did Wild Thing. Good luck at your 3-song gig! I hope you enjoy this free online guitar lesson.

You just got your guitar now you need some free online acoustic guitar lessons. What do we start with? Well, what are your goals? Do you want to put together a band and play at parties, do you want to charm the hottest girl at school or do you just want to be able to play because you have always wanted to and you decided it's now the time? Whatever your reasons, I am psyched that you have decided to learn.

Before you start set your goals. Make a list of 10 songs that you would learn how to play. Just write them down and keep your list. Don't think about whether they are too hard to play. Chances are some of them will be and some of them won't be. Start with the easy ones. Ask around. Someone you know from school or work or your social circle will know how to play. Ask them which of your list is the easiest to play and start with that song.

Now we have our first goal. Let's say for example that you chose to learn "Wild Thing" for your first song. You will need to learn an A D and E chord. Make learning one chord new chord each day your goal. So Monday (if you are staring on a Monday), you will learn the A chord. This may take you some time.

Thursday calls for us to play our song. Are you ready? Two strums on a, 2 strums on D, 2 strums on E and 2 strums on D. Sound like Wild Thing yet? If it does keep on playing you are doing great. If it doesn't sing the song in your head for a few minutes and try to match what you are hearing with what comes out of your guitar. This will help out tremendously.

Free Online Acoustic Guitar Lessons - Learning Your First Song

Put your fingers on the chord. Look at your hand. Are your fingers curled so you are up on the tips? If not, fix them so they are. Give the chord a strum. How does it sound? If it sounds good and all the notes are ringing take your hand off. Now put your hand back on the chord and try it again. Remember to make sure you are on the tips of your fingers. If not fix them. Give us another strum. Hopefully it sounds good again. Once again take your fingers off the string and put them back on again. The reason we do this is because changing chords is harder than just learning them. So by doing this we practice getting our fingers moving to chords. Do this for about 10 minutes.

Friday is review the song day. Now Saturday or Sunday you must play the song for someone. It doesn't matter if you think it's not ready, just do it. No excuses. You have a gig this weekend even if it's only one song.

This light is great. I read in bed every night while my wife sleeps.

It took a little getting used to the difference in the light, but it's plenty bright and doesn't disturb my wife. Absolutely buy the AC Adapter so you don't have to replace the batteries.

Guitar Maintenance and Prevention of Damage

For no reason should you keep you guitar anywhere that it's slightly likely to fall. If you don't have very good stands, wear it with your strap or put it back in the flight case. I know you may argue that those rock stars don't do all that with their guitars. And my response is "Those stars only need to ask and several top guitar makers will make them a few guitars to their minutest specifications."

Like everything made under the sun, your guitar is subject to wear and tear. There are many things that you need to take into consideration along with your guitar practice and one of such is your guitar maintenance.

Apart from storing your guitar well, it is a good practice to always clean your guitar after every use. Pay very close attention to the fret board and the strings. You know that sweat from your hands can easily corrode most strings.

These are just a few guitar maintenance tips. However, if you use them judiciously, your guitar will serve you for years and years on end.

If your guitar has fallen once, unless it is in a flight case, it is not the same guitar you bought again. I know this may seem like laying it on too thick. But believe me, this is so because anything that cause the neck of your guitar to take such impacts compromises its performance.

Take time to oil your guitar's tuning machine. This is especially true if your guitar uses the open tuning machine. Anything made of metal that has moving parts does better with oiling. Just make sure you drop only a little once in a while. This is not one of those tasks you should undertake on a daily basis.

As part of a good maintenance, you must store your guitar well. A lot of young guitarists seem to take this very lightly. For example, they keep their guitars in such places where they are very likely to slide off on fall.

it works good and it even has a sound mode where it is audible. Has a bass and guitar setting....you can also drop the tuning a half note to tune down or up easily, and for the money I paid $12.00 I think...anyway get it
Customer Review: pleased
I was very happy with the prompt receipt of the tuner, brand new in the box with batteries included. Thank you!

What seems to happen is after using it time and time again, the hard drive connection to the Ipod seems to loosen up so much that it can no longer detect the connection and/or communicate with the Ipod. By slamming it down onto the desk you secure the connection so that way your Ipod can now detect your hard drive.

If you're like many of the other millions of Ipod users out there, you take your little Ipod with you everywhere. Every time you expect it to perform flawlessly, and most of the time it does. However, after months and months of use and abuse, years even, your little Ipod isn't so keen on performing like it did when it was brand new, so one day when you wake up and greet your little Ipod with ears ready for music listening it doesn't greet you back. Instead, it frowns on you and tells you to contact Apple for support only to realize your warranty just ran out 3 days ago. Out of luck? No! Luckily there is a solution to the Ipod Sad Face.

Fix Your Sad Faced iPod

Make sure you take care when slamming your Ipod onto anything, because you don't want to hurt your Ipod or the 'anything' that you're slamming it onto. I, personally have experienced this problem and followed the above steps to fix it, now my trusty 20GB Ipod Photo is working just as happily as it was the first day I got it.

Why is there tab music for guitars? The purpose is to give the guitarist a direction on how to play and does this by presenting a display of the strings and which strings to hit. The tab music basically has strings represented as lines and the finger position to play marked by numbers on the appropriate fret. It is basically pretty easy to follow.

When it comes to playing the guitar, learning how to play guitar tabs is really very important. It is a foundational knowledge needed for beginners trying to learn some songs. Tabs typically are formatted so that they come with the music and the lyrics as well. Some of these tab notations also have other parts of the song in it as well.

Learning Guitar Tabs - Learn How To Play The Guitar

There is no need to pay for guitar music in tab notation. Most of this is available widely on the net for free. Just search online and you'll find lots of tablature music that can keep you busy for a long time. Sure, there are tab notations available for a price and in book format but these are over priced and most likely you can get the same music for free. I advise you print out the tab music and you are good!
