Legato - Marco Sfogli Style Lick

Level: Intermediate

Style: Metal
NOTE: You may notice I'm using a lot of pick strokes. But it doesn't mean it's note legato. Through studying guitar players like Marco Sfogli and Paul Guilbert, I've found that the mixture of using pick strokes can do wonders for making your lines sound punchier and tighter.

This 3rd lick is based on our own Tom Quayle's "Mordern Legato" technique. Notice how he uses a combination of linear and horizontal movement through the scales? Pretty cool stuff!

Blues Basics - The Chords
Chris Feener
Level: Beginner
Topic: Chords
Style: Blues
Welcome new guitarists! In this tutorial, I want to focus on getting your first blues progression under your fingers. We'll start by examining three chords (E5, A5 and B5). "5" chords are commonly referred to among guitarists as power chords. These chords are extremely predominant in rock/blues, and the best part? They're actually pretty easy! So to begin, ...

Blues Basics - The Progression
Chris Feener
Level: Beginner
Topic: Chords
Style: Blues
So let's stick these chords together into an eight-bar blues progression. 1) We start by playing our E5 chord 16 times using a down picking motion. Remember here, the only two strings that should be sounded are the top two. Count "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and" out loud, or tap your foot to each quarter beat (1, 2, 3, 4) 2) We transition to the A5 chord,...

Blues Basics - The Riff
Chris Feener
Level: Beginner
Topic: Chords
Style: Blues
So the goal here, is to play the exact same chords, for the exact same durations of time with a slight variance. But before we do that, let's examine this variance... Below, we see the tablature of the repeating E5 chord, however, on beats two and four, the "2" (representing the second fret on the A string) becomes a "4". What this means is that while we pi...

Blues Basics - The Blues!
Chris Feener
Level: Beginner
Topic: Chords
Style: Blues
So now that we're rockin' the blues riffs, let's stick it back into the blues progression. The same riff variance applies to all three chords. NOTE: The B5 requires a two fret stretch while maintaining the power chord itself - for those having issues with this, feel free to play the B5 as is, through the entire measure(s) without the added higher note.

Descending Sus4 Arpeggios: Intro
Mike Salow
Level: Advanced
Topic: Scales
Style: Any Style
Hi guys! In this tutorial we'll be discussing a descending sus4 arpeggio idea that I use a lot in my playing! Like a lot of ideas, I like to run through them diatonically and expand them into other tonalities so that we aren't just playing a major lick or minor lick. This allows us to take an idea and make it major, minor, diminished or whatever we really ...

To our first four arpeggios! G Major (Ionian)    (5 - 4 - 3 - 1) A Minor (Dorian)     (5 - 4 - b3 - 1) B Minor (Phrygian)    (5 - 4 - b3 - 1) C Major (Lydian)     (5 - #4 - 3 - 1) As you can see our two minor arpeggios have the same intervals. This allows us to use the exact same shape for each. However, the same...
