Hi again, I’m back.
Just a quick note about the Forbidden Fruit lesson: I mentioned that I’d
create a new lesson for the second half of Forbidden Fruit, that
classical piece I posted a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had a few plays
through it, and it is much more difficult than the first half. It moves
form the key of Em, with all those open strings, to E major and uses
barre positions with melody lines attached … It’s a long way from a
beginners piece. If you really really want me do it, tell me so at the
forum. Start a “We want the second half of Forbidden Fruit” thread and
insist.Which reminds me: JOIN THE FORUM! I’m more than happy to answer any
guitar questions you may have, and there are several other regulars who
are experienced players and also pass on their knowledge. (Thanks guys).
The forum is here: http://www.guitarforbeginners.com/forumThis week’s movie/tab/midi lesson is a walking bass figure, finger
style, which can be applied to any number of chord progressions. This
one has a bit of a “Guitar Boogie” vibe about it, but the bass
line/chord structure has been around for a lot longer. It’s a kind of
‘default’ bass line for this kind of shuffly, slinky music … fun to
play, as it combines the bass line with chord fragments.Go to http://www.guitarforbeginners.com and you’ll see the link there on
the home page. I ask you to invest a couple of seconds of your time to
view the movie, to keep the free content in high profile for others to
take advantage of, but it’s a pretty straight forward procedure.If you’re past the beginner stage and you’re wondering how it is that
some players have complete control over the entire fretboard — not just
for playing lead, but chords too — them drop in to my PlaneTalk site at
http://www.thatllteachyou.com . PlaneTalk (The Truly Totally Different
Guitar Instruction Book) has been selling from that site for close to 8
years now, revealing the trick to just that: being able to see the
entire fretboard as familiar, friendly territory at all times. I say
‘trick’ … it’s more a way of thinking and looking at the fretboard, a
simple visualization technique. I sure get good feedback from my
readers. Here is an excerpt from a second letter that TK, a recent
customer from the US, sent last night:“I will spread the word around about your technique. I have no intention
of buying anymore books about scales and chords now that I have your
book. In fact, I’ll probably put many of those books for sale on the
internet or in pawn shops because they will remain closed while yours
will remain open.”So, if you want to save yourself 15 years of learning, classifying,
sorting and sifting, boiling down, rationalizing and simplifying, get
yourself a copy. It’s an e-book, downloadable, and you too can
immediately be learning the easiest map of the fretboard that exists …
in fact, you already know it! You just don’t realize that you do.I posted a new tune at Soundclick, my tribute to the late, great Ray
Charles. It went straight to number one in the ‘Jazz General’ chart.
Have a listen here: http://www.soundclick.com/pro/?BandID=156391 , it
will stream once the page loads. I do love slide guitar; if you do too,
