The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

We’re back!! Thank you for sticking with us and waiting patiently, or indeed finding us for the first time. Please look back at our back catalogue and subscribe to our podcast on whatever platform you listen to podcasts on. Tell all your guitar playing friends and perhaps even get directly in touch with us or leave us a review on Apple Podcasts. Reviews help us more than anything else. In this lesson, Dan and I return to look at the Pentatonic scale and how it can be used over a Blues major shuffle or over a minor Blues progression. We look at a couple of notes which can be added for a different ‘flavour’ and be used to change the feel of your improvising. Here we add in first the tritone or flattened fifth note to play the Blues scale. Second we add in the major second or ninth note to play a hexatonic scale or the pedestrian minor scale. There are a couple of backing tracks we use around 19 minutes and 29 minutes in. The first is a Chicago Blues Shuffle Backing Track (E) and the latter is called Soulful Chill in Eminor, by Elevated Jam Tracks. Concluding with some cud chewing about rhythm playing, we hope that this lesson has something of value in it, whatever your skill level.

×Timings for the SoundCloud audio version of Rhythm Guitar Lesson 1b: 00:00:22 Using Eartrainer to practise the rhythm of a piece separated from the melody 00:01:08 A simple idea for practising rhythm 00:01:22 Starting with a bar of 4/4 and then throwing in some 8th notes 00:02:28 Using the offbeat and how to play challenging rhythms 00:02:58 Riff from Human by the Killers and timing it right 00:03:40 The 8th note at the beginning of the riff that isn't heard 00:05:10 Sing the rhythms - do it in your head 00:05:20 Sixteenth notes starting on the offbeat can be tricky 00:05:43 Start of our Funk mini study 00:06:39 Yngwie's quote: "groove or die" 00:07:21 Right hand playing, percussive hits in funk music 00:07:51 Sixteenth notes with accents on the beat 00:08:26 Make the right hand consistent, lock in with drums / metronome 00:11:12 Demo of the same funk groove with and without the percussive notes 00:13:00 All this kind of practise helps to instil a sense of pulse 00:13:57 What does a drummer do when he is performing fills? 00:14:09 Demo of acting like a drummer 00:15:18 Playing funk solos in this way is a great way to practise 00:17:00 Dan's advice to listen to Cory Wong - will share in our show-notes 00:19:31 There is life beyond power chords Here is the second half of the lesson: Dan gives us some reminders for your practice and how to play 16th funk strumming patterns with confidence and so that they sound groovy. Dan demonstrates what we’re aiming for when developing an inner pulse through a funk improvisation in which he mirrors what a drummer is thinking when they support a funky track with fills and mini solos. I have been adding to my own new practice regime lots of metronome work based on what we will discuss next time.…
This is the first lesson in our new mini-series on the topic of rhythm. R.I.P. Jeff Beck :( Dan and I, in our first lesson look over the basics of rhythm: Firstly, covering what the difference between a quarter note, eighth note and sixteenth note along with the synonyms of crotchet, quaver and semi-quaver. Next Dan talks about staccato, dotted notes, tied notes, off-beats and counting; along with guitar strumming techniques which work for him. Finally, we look at some reggae and funk examples – although the funk examples will be reserved for next installment of the podcast when we will release the second half of the first lesson. Stay tuned for some brilliant reminders for your practice and how to play 16th funk strumming patterns with confidence and so that they sound groovy – all coming up in Rhythm Guitar Lesson 1b. I have been adding to my own new practice regime lots of metronome work based on what we will discuss next time. Timings for the SoundCloud audio version 00:01:25 A few words on Jeff Beck 00:04:45 Intro to rhythm and a reminder about how important it is to work on 00:05:32 Quick bit on EarMaster and how Gary has been using it in his practice 00:07:22 Look at the real basics of note values and rhythmic divisions in a bar 00:08:27 Dan's breakdown of rhythmic values and basics of music reading 00:14:22 Stacatto notes 00:14:52 Extending notes with dots or ties 00:15:34 Using the spider gym for warming up, rhythm and playing without tension 00:16:01 Variations of Spider Gym finger patterns - see notes 00:16:51 Funky and reggae rhythms and use of syncopation and off-beats 00:18:40 Keeping track by using down and upstrokes to help your rhythmic work 00:20:21 Reggae: focussing on the offbeat on the high strings I have always struggled with rhythm playing: it doesn’t come very naturally to me. Recently, I have been coming to the realisation that this aspect of my playing, while I have already worked hard to really improve it, needs a lot more work and practice. I remember having a discussion with a musician friend of mine and we were discussing ‘groove’ and ‘being in the pocket’ and he mentioned a person who he played with sounding so professional and being of the mind that it is because her rhythm playing is so strong and well-rehearsed. This rings true for me and I can hear that same level of precision and expertise in Dan’s playing.

Rick Beato and Tim Pierce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2IWnGNF80I Andy wood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGcCswgaleE Rick Beato on Jeff Beck having just seen him 3 months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV9bnaqqfq8&t=161s Live at Ronnie Scotts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFx__GfJHWw I just wanted to share my own listening and way of absorbing the tragic news of Jeff Beck's passing. I really thought I was going to see him again. The man was such a legend and what he played on the guitar is from another world, sublime and glorious. He is not just one of best guitarists, but one of the best musicians and of all time! RIP…

This week, we start the episode with a quick shout out to our Patreon page which we hope that you will seriously consider giving to. You will get a shout out in future episodes, if you wish, and there are tiered benefits available. If we had a pound for everyone who has ever listened to Tune in Tone up, then we would be very happy guitar podcasters indeed. After this initial launch, Dan and I have an improvisation over the Andy Timmons track from last week. We then have a listen to a snippet of Andy Timmon’s own improvisation and if you would like to hear more and have these tracks for yourself, then click this link: https://prf.hn/l/MDmJ5bB and find his set of jamming tracks and buy it using TONEUP30 at the check out. We then move on to talking about bending and Dan distinguishes between under and over bending as a mistake that lots of guitarists, especially as they are starting out, make frequently. Then we move on to the topic of overbending as a technique in itself and put this to some use over another one of Andy Timmons jam tracks – A Funky Motif, key of Cm. Finally, we take a cursory look at Matt Schofield’s amazing course – Blues Speak. We listen to him talking about Albert Collins using the minor pentatonic with an added 6th, then an excerpt of an improvisation by Matt Schofield to demonstrate this idea. We then take a very quick look at where the idea of overbending came from: Matt Schofield’s, Blues Speak on Albert King where we hear him ‘wrestle’ the notes from the bend.

It follows on from our earlier lessons on how to use sequences to open the fretboard and also the previous episode on TrueFire courses and their jam tracks. Last lesson we looked at building pace and speed and this time we look more at the finer points of improvising. During this lesson Dan and I start and end this episode with a jam over one of Andy Timmon’s jam tracks produced for TrueFire. This track forms part of their series called ‘In the Jam’ and as the title implies, these are multi-track top quality produced tracks where you have the control over the different tracks. It is possible to easily mute the lead guitar and use it as a backing track. Another great feature is the function to play a lead guitar commentary video and audio. For the track we are looking at, Andy Timmons talks over his solo and improvisation choices to explain what he did and why he did it, along with sharing his wisdom. It is a fantastic feature, which is not shared by all the series of ‘In the Jams’ but something which we loved about the Andy Timmons series.…

You really have nothing to lose and a world of knowledge and skills to gain. Our lesson today is about gaining some go to and rehearsed sequences and ways of travelling around the fretboard between the different pentatonic patterns. There are some great ideas within on breaking out of the pentatonic box and developing some methods of linking the scale patterns as you are improvising. The benefit of rehearsing these sequences is that you can practise them and woodshed them to be able to deliver them at speeds which will really add some rhythmic fairy dust and exude the ‘wow’ factor.

Dan always has such brilliant nuggets of information to share with us and this episode holds some immensely valuable and powerful thoughts and ideas. After a brief recap we have a round of improvisation which leads our discussion to pickup choice and tonal differentiation. Dan shares some ideas about how you can gain different sounds with your technique and touch. Then we discuss rhythmic motifs and grouping notes to gain interest and be more sensitive to what the track is doing. This leads us to discuss how you must listen actively and deeply to a track to really consider what the tone of the piece is and how the instrumentation of it allows space for improvising. First Dan talks about trying to label the emotion of a track and then he really highlights to me that the main driver of a musician is that they have something to say and want to express themselves through their music. Dan talks about how you can use rhythm, volume, dynamics and tone as the vehicle to deliver your story. Phrasing is key but nuance and subtlety can be very effective for really giving the listener something to grasp onto. Timings for the SoundCloud audio version 00:01:22 Brief recap 00:04:09 Last couple of episodes we were adding the 2nd / 9th, Blues note and 6th 00:06:33 How can we add a little style and technique 00:07:26 First round of soloing over the backing track 00:11:12 Be your best judge - look at your playing and be honest 00:12:59 Pickup choice for tonal differentiation 00:13:53 Playing 12 frets higher over the fingerboard to get a clarinet like sound 00:14:47 Jingle jangle - play near the bridge 00:15:18 changing your pick up is a good way to change your tone 00:18:09 Rhythm of playing a melody - grouping notes, Dan demoing a noodling shambles 00:19:12 You have got to listen to the track - what's the track saying? 00:19:24 Gary mentioning Dan tells a good story when he improvises 00:20:07 Labelling the emotion of a song 00:21:48 Funkadelic - Maggotbrain 00:22:25 Bowie's guitarist 00:23:13 Tell a story through the guitar melody and improvisation 00:23:33 e.g. Imagine you're in a disaster scenario 00:23:56 Think about what you're playing over and be sympathetic to what you're playing over 00:24:28 Second round of improv 00:31:36 Talk techniques next time 00:32:41 The main driver of music is we have something to say and want to express ourselves through our music 00:34:01 Think of a song like a book - a beginning, a middle and an end 00:34:58 Dan's advice for Gary is to remember that the biggest difference you can make in improvising is through rhythm, volume, dynamics and tone 00:36:37 Dan demoing how the dynamics can be controlled by a mix of volume and playing lightly or digging in 00:37:36 Use nuance, subtlety and change your tone through your technique - playing softly and disguising the gain 00:38:51 Leave yourself headroom and limit your finger noise using the volume knob and nuance in your playing 00:39:55 Homework: play over a backing track focussing on volume, subtlety and different sounds 00:41:14 Try to tell a story in your playing and practise trying to play with emotion…
It’s really brilliant to be back and we are loving recording and releasing new content for you, our wonderful listeners. This lesson is an extension of the previous one and we aim to continue this into another lesson next time with a focus on the style and techniques that you might use to deliver your lines and package your improvisation. This lesson tackles adding the 6th and 9th intervals without huge amounts of theory but, hopefully, immediately usable ideas and a rationale that will help to spice up your solos and motivate and inspire you to perform. We use a backing track for our own noodling and improvisations. As always, I apologise for mine and listening back hope to continue working on tightening up the rhythmic motifs and delivery but we hope that you will take something from listening to both of us, warts and all. After all, learning can really take place when mistakes can shine a light on areas for improvement. This is one thing that I always really take from producing these podcasts – the opportunity to record myself in the moment and without preparation time then to listen back and spot the issues and set myself some targets. Dan’s playing, as always, continues to give me a whole plethora of ideas and inspiration. I hope it does for you too. You’ll hear our chosen backing track with our improvisations at just after 5 and 25 minutes in today’s lesson. Next lesson, we will focus on some techniques and style. The backing track is called: Dirty Blues Rock Guitar Backing Track Jam in Am https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p66uR4HAU4 Timings for the SoundCloud audio version 00:01:42 Brief recap of last episode 00:02:42 The first pentatonic shape 00:02:52 The penatonic shape an octave higher 00:03:05 Pentatonic with extension up the neck 00:04:53 A little bit of fire and a little bit of polish 00:05:11 Dirty Blues Rock Guitar Backing Track Jam in Am 00:05:43 Start of first backing track 00:11:45 Adding the 9th B note in A 00:12:08 Adding in the 6th note or F# in A 00:14:23 Essentially we now have all the notes of the Dorian mode 00:15:15 So we can get some nice uses - solo opener is to bend from the 6th up to the 7th 00:16:30 Carl Verheyen - What is it that makes one player sound so different?

We’re back!! Thank you for sticking with us and waiting patiently, or indeed finding us for the first time. Please look back at our back catalogue and subscribe to our podcast on whatever platform you listen to podcasts on. Tell all your guitar playing friends and perhaps even get directly in touch with us or leave us a review on Apple Podcasts. Reviews help us more than anything else. In this lesson, Dan and I return to look at the Pentatonic scale and how it can be used over a Blues major shuffle or over a minor Blues progression. We look at a couple of notes which can be added for a different ‘flavour’ and be used to change the feel of your improvising. Here we add in first the tritone or flattened fifth note to play the Blues scale. Second we add in the major second or ninth note to play a hexatonic scale or the pedestrian minor scale. There are a couple of backing tracks we use around 19 minutes and 29 minutes in. The first is a Chicago Blues Shuffle Backing Track (E) and the latter is called Soulful Chill in Eminor, by Elevated Jam Tracks. Concluding with some cud chewing about rhythm playing, we hope that this lesson has something of value in it, whatever your skill level.

In this lesson, Dan and I return with an audio only lesson but a really useful lesson on harmonizing guitar parts. In this lesson: Dan defines what it means to harmonize guitar parts, we examine how this is different to pitch shifting when working in a key, we play the C major scale with harmony parts in 2nds, 3rds, 4ths and so on, we harmonize the theme tune for Eastenders (PAAAAT!!) and we try to harmonize a lick with bends in it (I struggle with bending over another part). The lesson ends with some discussion about the issues you may face when harmonizing, Dan gives some practical uses including the riff for Led Zeppelin’s Rock n’ Roll and finally there is a summary of the learning points of the lesson and notable tips. 00:00:59 Setting up this lesson on guitar harmonies and harmony vocals 00:05:01 Defining a harmony part 00:06:53 If you just keep the same distance between the two notes, some notes will fall out of key 00:08:35 Conclusion: harmonizing is not the same as pitch shifting 00:10:06 How a harmonizer pedal works 00:11:16 Harmonizing the C major scale 00:12:13 Adding a number to each note in the scale 00:17:46 Dan and I playing the C major in unison 00:17:58 Discussion around 2nds and our next activity 00:18:52 Dan and I playing the c major scale a 2nd apart 00:20:16 Discussion around 3rds 00:21:03 Dan and I playing the C major scale a 3rd apart 00:21:45 Discussion around 4ths 00:22:53 Dan and I playing the c major scale a 4th apart 00:23:39 2-part harmony vs multiple parts 00:24:16 Dan and I playing the c major scale a 5th apart 00:26:07 Dan and I playing the c major scale a 6th apart 00:27:10 Discussion around 7ths 00:27:30 Dan and I playing the c major scale a 7th apart 00:28:17 Dan and I playing the c major scale an octave apart 00:31:42 9ths 00:32:31 Practical applications of harmonies 00:32:37 Practical application 1: harmonising a simple melody (Eastenders) 00:39:18 Playing harmony 3rds from the B string to the top E string 00:41:19 Back to the Eastenders theme tune and our harmonisation demonstration 00:44:26 What are the practical uses for the Eastenders harmonization idea 00:45:16 Using an idea which the guitar is specifically good at - bending in harmony 00:50:36 Harmonizing the D major pentatonic scale 00:53:31 Back to our bending lick and harmonizing using the A dorian scale 00:55:34 Rock and Roll (Led Zep) - harmonizing rhythm parts 00:58:05 Summary of lesson and some final points…

THE TWO VIDEOS FOR THIS ONE WOULD BE HELPFUL: https://youtu.be/K7N1TxJm17k https://youtu.be/BSAEidhkFcU In this lesson, Dan talks pedals and pedalboards. We take a tour round his board and a small tour round mine too. Then we examine the question (from the perspective of a beginner) of what pedal someone could start out with. Dan also gives his wisdom on some ways which you can keep in mind the big picture (perhaps of a pedalboard) and get the pedals which are the most useful. There’s a really big section in which Dan walks me through what the different uses of the Strymon Timeline are and also regularly demonstrates a wide range of pedals with examples. 00:00:33 Start of main lesson 00:02:11 Using the Timeline - set to Pink Floyd Run Like Hell 00:03:19 Timeline setting - Reverse Delay 00:04:30 Timeline setting for Purple Rain 00:05:12 With a lighter chorus sound 00:05:29 Ducking delay 00:05:50 Clean boost 00:06:27 Different boosts 00:06:52 Wah wah pedal on 00:07:19 Sweep Filter 00:07:43 With compression 00:08:00 Octave pedal effect 00:08:28 Delay for Pink Floyd's - Another Brick in the Wall 00:13:15 Dan playing through my pedalboard 00:13:30 Corona TC Electronic Chorus 00:14:11 Increasing the depth 00:14:26 Delay Boss DSD3 00:15:21 Sampler? 00:15:34 Boss compressor CS3 00:16:34 Using a compressor pedal as a clean boost 00:17:05 Boss Overdrive OD3 00:17:32 A little trick is to leave the drive down and use the level as a boost 00:18:11 Reverb HOF mini 00:18:47 Boss GE7 Equaliser 00:20:06 Stripping it back to beginner level 00:20:29 Running with the question - what pedal ought I buy? 00:20:40 The 'ice' delay setting - pitch shifted delay 00:24:09 Srtymon - Timeline 00:25:22 Timeline: The Wall 00:25:54 Timeline: Always 00:26:43 Timeline: Ice 00:26:49 Timeline: Duck 00:27:14 Timeline: Purple Rain 00:28:09 Timeline: Streets have no name 00:28:52 Timeline: Reverse delay 00:29:34 Timeline: Tape delay (slapback rock and roll) 00:30:10 Timeline: multi-tap (run like hell) 00:30:55 Dan's tips on what pedals to buy 00:31:18 Tremolo - slapback delay (50s) 00:31:30 Less delay, wah wah and fuzz (60s) 00:31:56 Analog delays and chorus (70s) 00:32:52 Chorus and big delay (80s) 00:34:50 Into the Great Wide Open through the looper as a basis for a jam track 00:37:54 First pedal for Dan would be an overdrive 00:41:01 Explanation of overdrive 00:44:27 A good idea for a second pedal - a clean boost 00:44:49 On a clean channel - take into a solo 00:47:37 On a drive setting - a similar application shows the difference in lift 00:50:15 Buffered vs true bypass 00:55:37 Another great pedal is a wah wah 01:01:18 Next suggestion is a compressor 01:03:07 Good for Country music 01:03:46 Using a slight driven sound the compressor sustains the notes 01:06:11 Next type of pedal we discuss is a phaser 01:07:18 Using a phaser on Money (Pink Floyd) 01:08:05 You do something to me - Paul Weller 01:10:12 Another pedal to consider is a flanger 01:11:44 Next pedal is a chorus 01:13:02 Demo - chorus 01:14:18 Tremolo effect 01:17:27 Dan explains how he practically uses his board live 01:20:01 What is delay?

In this lesson, Dan helps me out with my acoustic sound for a performance I have been asked to do for my sister-in-law’s wedding. I am performing several songs at the front of their service some of which they have chosen and some of which they have asked me to come up with. As there is a delay on publishing our episodes, this comes after I have actually done the performance and it went very well, particularly because of Dan’s excellent advice and suggestion to use a looper pedal which I followed. In the second part of this lesson, we take a look at how to arrange multiple parts for the looper pedal performance, particularly covering “Something” by the Beatles. In the end, the performance was of the following songs: 1) ‘Something’ by the Beatles: Played while the wedding party awaited the arrival of the bride 2) ‘Textbook’ by We Are Scientists: Played as my sister-in-law walked up the aisle 3) ‘Pretty Ugly Before’ by Elliott Smith: Played while the register was being signed 4) ‘I Don’t Want to Know’ by Fleetwood Mac: Played as everyone left Most songs were played using my Boss RC30 to create a long loop, then some layers added to this on the fly along with some melodic playing and improvisation. On ‘Textbook’ the Looper was not utilised but I used reverb, chorus and a bit of delay to build the atmosphere. The acoustic amp I use is the Marshall AS100D which is great and has an effects loop with the downside of being very heavy.

I the lesson Dan demonstrates some mixed lead and chord playing, which works very well (when he does it). He gave me lots of useful advice and we’ll return to this in part 2 when I take along my RC30 to gain some input on how best to use this in the performance.

In this lesson, Dan and I take a look at the outro solo for "Feel Like Makin' Love" by Bad Company - a song which I am covering with my band. During the lesson we go through 9 tips on transcribing from Dan and we look at 9 licks from the solo. Dan shares his ideas with me on tone and effects for songs and also the different ways to approach different sorts of solos.

In this lesson, Dan and I take a look at some of the songs which I am performing with my band and so we focus on the dual guitar parts. I bring several songs which I am learning with other musicians in our covers band ready for a gig we will be performing in Brighton. We first look at American Girl by Tom Petty, with some talk about inversions and effects. Secondly, Dan gives me some feedback on some dual parts I came up with for Neil Young’s Cinnamon Girl. Next we pay the Smith’s What Difference Does it Make? a quick bit of consideration. We finish this lesson off by some discussion with usable ideas for the solo in Substitute by the Who and the outro solo for Feel Like Makin Love by Bad Company. As always, there are plenty of other examples thrown in to assist Dan’s explanation of his ideas and ways of approaching dual guitar situations and a good improvisation session towards the end of the lesson. Our next lesson 15 will return to the solo at the end of Feel Like Makin' Love as we look at some tips on transcribing. Timings for the SoundCloud audio version: 00:02:39 Learning aims and some shout outs from social media 00:08:09 Introduction to the topic of the parts for songs I'm playing 00:09:05 Gary introduces his part for American Girl 00:15:46 In the spirit of the 80s you could put a nice big wobbly chorus on it 00:16:13 Two part phrase using different inversions 00:17:42 Second set of chords 00:19:56 Considering effects as of a time 00:22:32 How to approach a bit of a song which is quite sparse 00:24:45 Don't forget that "less is more" 00:25:32 Always ask whether you're adding something to the mix 00:26:56 Sparse rhythm for Comfortably Numb 00:27:58 Start of quick look at Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young 00:31:31 Making up second parts on the spot 00:35:01 Using two very different guitars for greater separation 00:35:17 What Difference Does it Make - Smiths 00:37:17 Harmonizing Johnny Marr's guitar part 00:43:52 Solo for Substitute by the Who 00:48:20 Two ways to play Creep - Radiohead 00:52:21 In the style of Green Day - rougher playing 00:53:50 Basket Case - Billie Joe 00:55:29 Embrace all types of style but seek the good 00:56:37 The solo for the One I Love by REM 00:59:21 Solo at the end of Feel Like Makin Love - Bad Company 01:04:59 Overbends as well could be really cool for improvising over this ending 01:06:08 Accent the rhythmic riff of the song…

In this lesson, Dan and I return to take a look at how to improve your creative improvisations and what that journey looks like on the guitar. The focus of this lesson, using a backing track we recently did another lesson with, is how having some predetermined themes to use in your solo and a plan can help you to come up with ideas and interest as you improvise. As we play around with improvisation Dan gives me some tips and a strategy following a structured approach to coming up with ideas. We use octaves, blues licks and then Dan delves into a couple of ideas: First he highlights the importance of being relaxed and not tense; second we take a look at three note per string pentatonic licks and referencing lots of different players Dan demonstrates how you can delve deeply into one idea to explore the theme fully. 00:00:56 Reference to That Pedal Show and our last episode 00:01:36 Introduction - how do we mix our licks up to make them not feel too samey? 00:02:11 Fancy Fusion Backing Track in B minor | #SZBT 205: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZUCq_UlqzI 00:02:34 The focus for today's lesson is making your licks stand out - one idea leading to the next and the next... 00:03:16 Breaking solos into rigid structures 00:03:39 EG - Ritchie Samboura's solo from Dead or Alive 00:04:19 Analysing the ideas behind the parts of this solo, e.g. octaves, little blues lick, pinched harmonics, country blues rock lick, chugging chords 00:08:43 First soloing over the backing track 00:12:00 Guthrie Govan interview 00:13:34 How important it is to have goals and visualise where you want to be 00:17:55 Learn something different - have a bit of surprise left in your life 00:19:18 Dan's example of how beginners approach improvisation 00:20:01 1) isolating the ocatave theme and idea 00:21:09 2) by landing here on the fretboard you're ready for the blues lick 00:21:32 Be bold and not scared of the improvisation 00:23:53 Two tips to help when you're not sure: leave a note to hang or leave space 00:29:33 Second improvisation, focussing on relaxing and themed ideas 00:35:00 Running with weights: e.g. go up the whole scale using octaves 00:36:23 using octaves 00:36:51 Foo Fighters idea - fattening up a melody 00:37:01 Steve Vai - slipping up to the octaves, slide then octave 00:38:59 The pentatonic thing: with 3 note per string patterns 00:40:26 Second three note per string pentatonics 00:42:37 three notes on one string, then one note 00:43:10 Joel Hoekstra thing - 00:47:12 Podcast episode idea and call to action - get in touch if you want this 00:48:02 Shawn Lane lick 00:52:28 Some advice about digging deep into ideas 00:53:17 Country bends 00:54:19 Guthrie Govan idea from waves - arpeggiating with string skipping 00:55:37 Arpeggiating a Bm chord 00:58:05 Dan using the Guthrie Govan idea to solo over the backing track 00:59:05 Mixing in the Vito Bratta idea of adding tapped notes 01:01:12 Interesting video by Rick Graham - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsEHi1wykkc&feature=youtu.be 01:04:57 Final jam over the backing track…

Video Guitar Lesson 12: Arranging parts for bands and situations with two or more guitarists In this lesson, Dan and I continue to explore rhythmic patterns, looking in particular at the benefits and problems which arise when playing in situations with multiple guitarists. The focus for the lesson are two songs which I am arranging to play with a band that has in it a drummer, bassist, keyboardist/singer and me and another student of Dan’s on guitar. The two songs are ‘The One I Love’ by REM and ‘Feel Like Making Love’ by Bad Company, but throughout this lesson we look at things which arise in other songs to so that we can apply this to this situation. We look at octaves, open strings, pick up choice, EQ, guitar choice, briefly effects and playing using different inversions and much more. Timings for the SoundCloud audio version 00:02:31 The setup of my band 00:03:24 Introduction to the two songs which we are going to be looking at the parts for 00:05:09 First look at the One I love by REM 00:05:59 What Dan plays for the One I love 00:08:22 Playing a second part over the opening riff using octaves 00:09:15 Second go at the opening riff together 00:11:10 A more meaty second part - playing 5th chords piano style 00:12:30 Option of not playing at all and allowing the other guitarist space 00:13:05 Dynamics in Steve Vai's - the Love of God - using increasing vibrato 00:13:39 Back off at the beginning and as the song starts to take off you increase what you are doing 00:13:46 You want to hit a chorus and have somewhere to go, some punch, some headroom 00:14:00 Using the volume on your guitar 00:14:22 Second demonstration of the piano style part 00:15:12 Money for Nothing is a good example 00:15:22 staccato style like ACDC a Long Way to the Top 00:15:35 Discussion about frequency and where you sit in the mix 00:18:05 Best thing you can do is be mindful of separating your sound from the other guitar 00:20:19 Second part for the Kings of Leon Sex on Fire riff 00:21:13 Recap of advice on frequencies and staying out of eachother's way 00:22:29 Comfortably Numb - so many things to fill the air - use delay 00:24:09 Some effects are very indicative of the time 00:26:11 Second guitar part for after the introduction and during the verse 00:27:40 First way is to play chord shapes up at the 12th fret 00:29:13 Second option with a nice delay and more sparse playing 00:30:00 Third option - start with the Em even higher up the neck 00:31:34 Fourth option - really subtle notes with volume swells and delays 00:32:52 Chorus part 00:33:52 If someone is playing something rhythmic then a good second part could be blocky 00:34:48 Whole Lotta Rosie - ACDC 00:44:33 Humbuckers (e.g. Les Paul) Sad face EQ vs Strat smiley face EQ 00:45:40 Playing using gain - roll the tone back a bit 00:47:20 The middle position on the Les Paul mixing the pups 00:48:23 What's a treble bleed? 00:49:23 Feel Like Making Love - Bad Company 00:51:30 Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd 00:53:20 Rejigging the inversions of the triads 00:56:06 Rejigging the inversions for Feel Like Making Love 00:58:30 Arpeggiated chord part for the verse 00:58:56 Sweet Home Alabama 01:03:39 Similar chord set in Feel Like Making Love so you can do a similar thing 01:05:34 Raising the dynamics for the chorus 01:09:38 Sometimes when you consider parts for songs you can bring some modernity to your parts 01:10:35 Add a dash of your own thing…

Video lesson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlMOoyccwU0&feature=youtu.be In this lesson, Dan and I explore rhythmic patterns, how to practise rhythm and work towards playing ‘in the pocket’ and then, using a backing track, we look at how to phrase improvisation. We start this lesson by examining some of the regular rhythmic structures which you can form from quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes and triplets. I show Dan the cards which I created by methodically identifying the possible structures. Dan unpicks most guitarists’ rhythmic journey and how we usually develop over time and as a result of need and gives some of his advice, tips and techniques for helping me. In the second part of the lesson (starting at 26:37 or 27:10 on SoundCloud) we take a look at how to phrase and articulate your melodies over a backing track when improvising to give them form, meaning, interest and clout. After our first improvisation, Dan gives some central focus for us to consider in my phrasing ideas. Finally, we then have another go at improvising and after this Dan gives me some of his thinking as he formed his melodic phrases, some of his licks and things to try. Timings for the SoundCloud audio version 00:05:08 Gary shows the rhythmic structures for quarter beats on A4 card and talks about his aim to improve his rhythm playing 00:06:42 Great app for strumming patterns - 8 strummer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccNIElEfxL0 00:07:34 Dan's ideas on rhythmic playing and why most tuition is not too methodical 00:11:18 One thing about rhythm playing is that you tend to learn rhythm parts for band songs as you go 00:13:09 Gary on how he's been using a metronome 00:14:10 Sometimes it's really good to count the in-between beats which you don't play – perhaps by saying “miss”, or as part of your usual count 00:15:21 Think like a drummer - playing the different beats using low or high strings with different accents or mutes 00:16:16 Dan: “Maybe it is the offbeats when you lose your count” 00:16:59 Dan: “Using a faux strum is good” 00:18:18 One thing that really caused problems recently for Dan was the riff from Human by the Killers and how it starts after the beat 00:20:18 Dan: “Using downstrokes & upstrokes can also accent notes in different ways” 00:21:42 A difficulty in rhythm playing is trying to make it sound natural rather than robotic 00:22:48 Irish triplet jig rhythms, Dan’s take 00:23:33 Slowing things down can be really useful to hone over time 00:25:34 Using an acoustic guitar is good for strumming practice 00:26:25 A rhythmic part which really challenged Dan was when he was required to play ‘Wheatus – Respect’ 00:27:10 Phrasing and rhythmic structures in improvisation 00:28:24 Soloing over a backing track from YouTube - Fancy Fusion Backing Track in Bm 00:37:49 Quick bit of reflection on our first bit of improvising 00:38:36 1) How you group your notes in 3s, 4s etc. 00:39:09 Groups of 3. Also advice on tailing the lick off a bit 00:40:08 Groups of 4s 00:40:54 Groups of 4s in pentatonic licks 00:41:59 Grouping rhythmic notes but not scalar intervals 00:43:13 2) varying the length of your phrases 00:43:53 Start with something small and push it out from there 00:46:26 Quick recap - length of phrases, groupings and follow the rhythmic idea rather than scalar notes 00:47:32 Second improvisation over the backing track 00:53:24 Dan shares some of his thinking on this improvisation 00:53:34 1) swing and groove 00:54:15 2) think like a horn player 00:56:21 3) target certain notes (e.g. 9ths) 00:57:01 d) The 5th is a nice note 00:57:22 e) Resolve to the minor 3rd 00:58:36 f) Thinking chord tones 00:58:52 4) bending licks 00:59:52 5) going down an additional note 01:00:26 c) Going back on the note a little bit 01:00:52 d) Even using a muted note for rhythm 01:01:47 6) scoopy trem lick 01:03:57 7) pentatonic lick with tapping 01:05:04 Giving your licks form…

In this lesson, Dan and I revisit the tremolo or whammy bar to go over some of the subtleties of using it to best effect. Dan starts this lesson by giving an overview of the different types of tremolo systems and then we get stuck into some different ideas and uses of the whammy bar to gain different effects. First we look at the subtle warble idea to add some shine and sparkle to your playing (we also return to this as a means of gaining vibrato high up on the fretboard at the end of the lesson). Then we take a look at some ideas widely incorporated into Jeff Beck’s style. Next we look at scooping between notes. Finally we look at the more extreme techniques of dive-bombing to catch harmonics, pinch harmonics and the ‘gurgling’ sound. Timings for the SoundCloud audio version 00:05:47 I show Dan where my trem bar skills are (or are not) 00:06:19 An exploration of the different types of trem systems 00:08:46 Uses 1) A gentle 'warble' 00:16:35 Point two: you donon't need to move the bar as much as you think 00:17:03 2) Some Jeff Beckisms 00:18:24 2a) Dipping down the pentatonic 00:23:35 2b) similar idea - modulating the pitch up 00:25:17 2c) putting the two together 00:27:38 Moving down the bar for better control 00:30:03 3) Scooping into notes 00:32:53 3b) A variation is to scoop up between notes 00:34:36 3b) Scooping up to the semitone gaps in the Phrygian Dominant 00:38:20 4) Divebomb on the G String catching the harmonic on the way back up 00:43:56 Getting a pinch harmonic and using the trem 00:46:14 Gurgling action of the trem bar by twanging the springs suddenly 00:50:06 Remember the golden rules / summary 00:50:52 Final idea - using the trem as a vibrato when playing high up the fretboard 00:51:58 Most strat trem systems and tuning stability For more on tremolo bar systems see this useful blog: https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/the-tone-garage/top-10-tremolo-systems…

As always, there is plenty of demonstration and guitar playing throughout including over some ideas like the progression in Stairway to Heaven and California Dreaming. Covering quite a few genres and concepts, we hope you get a lot out of this lesson, whether you want to shred or are aiming for some new strategies to add interest to the melody of your improvisation.

Guitar Lessons with Tune in, Tone up!

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zHvJTDgPM8 In this lesson, I bring to Dan my Epiphone ES-335 Pro with its upgraded pedals (courtesy of Pedro Martins - Brighton Guitar Repairs, https://guitarrepairsbrighton.com/), my PRS and my pedalboard. I spent quite a lot of this lesson without the camera rolling looking at these pedals and checking out my Gibson J45 which Pedro has also done an excellent job of setting up. We then set the camera rolling, which is a new video camera that I hope will improve the quality of the picture, and I ask Dan to go through some of the sounds which I should be aiming for in an upcoming gig my band and I are doing for my friend's 50th birthday. As always, much of what Dan tells me is stuffed with loads of gems and nuggets and a lot of the general rationale behind music over time and a consideration of what was available then. At just before 36 mins in, we swap my PRS for my Epiphone ES-335 with the Iron Gear Blues Engines (http://www.irongear.co.uk/irongear_pickups_006.htm). Dan gives it a go, but unhelpfully it's in Open G for my Stones parts. I show Dan what I do for Tumbling Dice and Jumpin Jack Flash and we look at the sound which the new pickups give it - pretty much straight away gaining a good tone for those songs. While Dan explains about effects and technologies over time I re-tune the guitar to standard tuning and finally Dan gives it a proper play to hear the different sounds available to it. It seems like a very impressive improvement to this guitar and I couldn't recommend Pedro Martins' work strongly enough.
