Guitar Tricks
November 2005
*************************************************
Welcome to Guitar Tricks. We have over 2500 multimedia guitar lessons.
367 of them are beginner lessons. Each individual lesson is designed by
one of over 40 guitar instructors that contribute to our site.
Several instructors combine lessons into tutorials that cover a single
topic in-depth. If you prefer to follow your own path, we would
recommend you start with the tutorials below.
1) Rockabilly Style Guitar (7 Pages) - Terry Couch
Here is just one of many ways you can play Rockabilly Style
2) Metal - Palm Muting - Benoit Nadeau (Video Lesson)
What is it exactly? Well palm muting is achieved by using the side of
your hand (below the pinky and towards your palm) and pressing on the
strings, thus muting :) Sounds easy right? It can actually be a little
tricky to gain good constant control over your palm muting but with
practice, you can expect to be able to replicate a certain sound over
and over again.
3) Easy Chromatics - David Farmer (Video Lesson)
Here are a few lessons, using chromatics (every note), to help with
your alternate picking skills. When playing this, make sure your pick
goes up then down, up then down, etc... so that it does not go in the
same direction for two notes.
4) Play Lead Guitar (16 Pages) (Free Video Lesson) - Dr Simon
As we have already discussed, chord progressions can be thought of in
terms of scale degrees and the key signature of the piece you are
playing determines the chord progression, since a progression can be
played in many different keys.
5) Different Scales (3 Pages) - Doug Fearman
Every major (western) scale is made up of 7 notes. Each note has a
chord that accompanies it. Each chord has a scale that accompanies it.
In the key of C the notes are C-D-E-F-G-A-B. The chords that accompany
these notes are Cmaj-Dmi-Emi-Fmaj-G7-Ami-Bdim. The 6th chord is A minor
and is the relative minor of C major. The scale that accompanies the
Ami chord is considered to be the "NATURAL" or "PURE" minor scale. The
A-natural minor scale contains the same notes as the C-major scale. The
difference (technically) is that the A-natural minor scale starts with
the A note and ends with the A note. The melody (tabbed below) from a
popular 60's instrumental is a perfect example of the A-natural minor
scale in action.
6) Simple Chord Songs - More Than a Feeling Boston Schmange (2
Pages)
The beginning of this one is pretty easy to do. The only difficult part
is keeping it clean and smooth. So the way to go about doing this is to
pay close attention to how the notes are held and what strings you
should leave to ring on. You also have to be careful not to let any of
your left hand fingers accidentally touch a wrong string.
7) Pulling your strings - J.D. Jarrell
This is a bending lick on the (G) third, and (D) fourth string, but
you're actually pulling the strings to bend them. This is a good
exercise to work on this technique, and it sounds like you're using a
bender. When you do your pull off at the second fret, just put your
index finger back down and pull the string.
