Hey guys, This tutorial includes a couple of short and shreddy fusion licks that make use of chromatic passing tones. The technique used varies for both licks, depending on the speed played...

This lick is quite a bit different from the first, and quite open to interpretation. First of all, I should mention that if you play this in straight 16th (as shown in the tablature) it will...

Hey guys, This tutorial is a 3-lick lesson, based on one of my main influences: Greg Howe. All of the licks work over an A minor type groove, but also use passing tones, and some outside p...

For the second example, I start with a Gmaj7 arpeggio, and move to Am with chromatic passing tones. Towards the end, I add in the raised 7th to give a different feel. With the exception of ...

For the final example, I incorporate a typical slide lick that Greg often does. Simply put, you play your 'targeted note', pull off to a step below, and quickly slide back up to the original...

Hello IG! I hope you enjoy this video series. If you're a beginner, and want some basic pointers for a live pedal setup, this video should be great. If you're an intermediate or advanced pl...

Welcome to my lesson on slap guitar! A brief overview of the video: - Combine both left and right hand technique.- Use thumb for slapping, first finger for plucking, third finger on left h...

Okay let's now try out the slap technique with a longer example. Start slow, then gradually increase speed while making sure the notes stay clean. *Notes on low E are to be slapped, notes o...

In light of the new Dream Theater album, I thought I would teach another lick in the style of John Petrucci. This time, the idea is quite simple. The toughest challenge will be playing the ...

This example is a bit less challenging. If you are struggling with the first lick, I would recommend that you place your focus here. Once again, this lick is very simple, and relies mostly ...

Greetings! In this lesson, we will combine both hybrid and sweep picking to play an arpeggio sequence that for the most part follows the degrees of a C Major scale! This combination of hybri...

In this lesson, I provide a sample lead lick over a backing for a track off of my band's old album. The song titled "Believe" and has a pop/funk vibe to it. Very tempting to solo over! This...

Hope you enjoy playing over this backing. It's quite easy to improvise over! Tempo: 108bpm Key: E minor

Hey folks! Here's a fun little lick I came up with. Hope you enjoy! This lead lick falls into the key of B minor / B Dorian, with most of the notes coming from the minor pentatonic box. I ...

Here are the five main examples, played at 84bpm. The purpose for this is solely to give you an example of 16th notes, played over a metronome. Practice hard!

Hello IG! This tutorial is a short and sweet funk track, primarily based around a lead idea that I came up with while improvising. The track is based around a pop/funk drum beat, with a cou...

This idea almost immediately came to my head after hearing the drum beat. Very simple, but it "says" what it needs to say. I'm very often inspired to write after hearing a groovy drum beat. ...
