subject: Three super tips for you if you want to be a solo lead guitarist [print this page] We all look, but seer differently is a favorite statement of mine. It applies to the guitar school too, where many people have various reasons why they would love to learn to play the guitar. Some people want to learn it to impress the ladies, why others are thinking seriously about joining a band and becoming big stars. Learning to play the leads guitar is what will in the end separate the boys from the men. Here are some tips to get you on the go:
Step number one:
The first step to get you launched in your lead guitar course is the learning of new and different scales and arpeggios. This is the key, since you will be working with a lot of solo stunts. You will need to build your strength in the different scales and arpeggios. Make sure you have developed fluid precision on these parts before you move on to the next step.
Step Number Two:
Now that you are a pro in the scales and arpeggios, it is probably time for you to take on some real challenges. Try soloing over a cool song, for instance a song you really like. Alternatively, you can first record yourself when you are on the rhythm guitar and then superimpose your solo over it. I know that the pull to try for speed will be strong, but I beg you not to give in to it. Experience has constantly shown me that precision is always better than speed. It would be better for you to play slower and because you employ the power of prediction, you are able to sound more fluid than if you rushed through the whole song strumming. The idea is that your mind tells you how high or low you should hit the next string before the time, so that all your moves seem more organized, orchestrated and perfect. With time, your speed will pick up naturally on its own.
Step number three:
Keep your hands in sync with one another. This means that you will need to make your strumming and pick hand aligned with one another so that a high level of dexterity is achieved. The best way to go about this is to regularly practice so that your hands begin to get a feel of one another on the playing level. It might seem the most boring part of this exercise, but you only need to ask real professionals and they will tell you how important it was for them.
The most interesting part of playing the lead guitar, to me is the lead guitar aspect. It allows you explore your creativity to the limits. This way, you can add new twists to ordinary notes, spinning off electric notes at concerts and thrilling the crowd. You can just jam off to the accompaniment of a CD, or better still, you can join other players and really go on a roll.
