Albert Lee Masterclass. Forums : Off-topic Discussion : Music Theory- The basics updated V7. Introduction Hello there, you may have seen me around The Escapist and most know me as The Rockerfly, I am a musician. I have been playing music for about 10 years and have been writing for 3 years. I have an A level in music, grade 7 guitar, grade 5 in tuba, play the drums part time and sing for a group as well. It has come to my attention though that several Escapist members wish to become musicians or are in the process of becoming musicians and this guide is here to help you on your journey Now to write music it is useful to have theory however it is NOT essential to writing music however it is useful if you to progress and write things out of your comfort zoneI know it is hard to know where to start with the theory and I find writing this article very difficult so please excuse me if you feel that I have not written it to your standards, every musician has been taught differently so their theory will be different Reading Sheet Music I believe I may have missed out some content. 1.

Guitar Solo - Scales, Chops, Licks, Technique, Improvisation, Guitar Lessons. Enter > MrFastfinger.net. The Guitarist's Online Survival Kit (GOSK) Guitar Idol 2011 Entry Top 12 Finalist. GuitarLessons365. Tab in the link above! In this week's free "Lick of the Week" video lesson we will take a look at a cool lick that utilizes fast open stringed pull offs. Now even though everything is flying by at a pretty quick pace, there is a pattern to it all. As soon as you get the pattern memorized I think the lick will fall underneath your fingers pretty well. As always you should take it very slow in the beginning while the pattern is being memorized via muscle memory in your hands. After that, slowly work it up to full tempo.

This kind of lick can work in many different styles of music including country, rock and metal. Hopefully after getting it down you will be able to expand on it and do your own thing with it and add this lick to your own improvisations. Also, this lick can be pretty tiring in the beginning because of the rapid pull-offs, try not to overdo it and simply let the hand relax every couple minutes while practicing it. Thanks!

In the last lesson, we took the IV chord and transformed it from a major chord, to other chords. We are going to do something similar here. There are 3 minor chords in a major scale. the ii chord, the iii chord, and the vi chord. So if we were in the key of D major, those chords respectively would be E minor, F# minor, and B minor. We can transform these chords by turning them into major chords. We'll start with the ii chord. That works. Radiohead did something cool with this. Only one of the chords was in the home key, and the other two weren't, yet it still sounds good, which fascinates me. Okay, so next, we have the iii chord. You could also resolve it to the IV chord, so you could do something like C major, E major, F major, then G major...or something like that.

We can also do this with the iv chord. You can also resolve it the IV chord. Here's a challenge. There will be more! Until next time, your pal, -Shawn. Justin Guitar | Free Guitar Lessons.
