NeoBlues

AdvancedRockCool Riffs Song tutorial5 lessons6m

Greetings Guitar Slingers! In this tutorial, we will take a close look at an intro to one of my songs. This one is called NeoBlues, and is a track off of my FretDance (2003) album. We won't be covering the entire song for this tutorial (for a full song tutorial of mine, check out my previous Super Continental tutorial). We will however cover the main theme and flashy intro (this one is a real “turn some heads at the local music store” thing). First off, watch the video above, then in the next couple lessons we'll break everything down into individual parts. Let’s go!
