Want to Slow Down Videos to make it easier to learn? |
It has taken me hundreds of hours to produce all the lessons you see here. Support is needed for this to continue. If you are able to, please help the free lessons coming by providing a donation. |
Here's a little jazz blues lick you can play over a I - IV progression. The chords are Bb7 | F7 | Bb7 | Eb7 in this clip. For more details, get the Guitar Pro file.
I play this with a swing feeling on purpose, but you could play it straight if you prefer. Try this lick over a faster tempo, it sounds good that way.
I highly recommend you buy Guitar Pro - it's the best software I have found for learning guitar tabs. All my lessons will from now on come with Guitar Pro files. You can download a trial version on the Guitar Pro website to see if you like it (I think you will).
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
I would learn this faster if you could e-mail me the tab, thanks for your lessons.
