Here's a guitar lesson on how to play octaves. Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix, and other great guitar players have used octaves in their playing. It creates a cool sound and is a useful tool to have in your pocket.
I like using octaves for jazz guitar playing, but I also use it with high gain sounds sometimes because it creates a fat sound, quite different from single-note playing.
If you have not yet tried the web site JamPlay, you need to check it out. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive. So much good material to learn from.
JamPlay has over 535 hours of lessons, and currently 45 different teachers. The lessons are from 15 minutes to 1 hour.
The lessons come with printable materials and supplemental content - TAB, chord charts, exercises and a lot more. Here is an overview of some of the things you can learn at JamPlay.
