Hi, I’m back. Another week, another free lesson … that’s my motto. I
want to get the whole World a twangin’!

This week I did a very familiar blues boogie shuffle thingo that has
turned a lot of bands into household names … like ZZ Top and Canned
Heat … you can hear it in your head already, can’t you? It’s a neat
feel with a syncopated off beat, based around triplets.

Huh? Triplets? What’s a triplet?

Come to Guitar for Beginners and Beyond and find out all about triplets, how they are counted, how they
affect the feel of a piece, how they are tabbed AND get to view a movie
of me playing it, exact tablature, midi files and blow by blow
commentary in plain English. Look for the very obvious Weekly Lesson
link.

There is, apart from the weekly lesson, a ton of info at the site. Pages
and pages of basic theory lessons, chord charts, mini movies of guitar
techniques like hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, harmonics … a glossary
of guitar terms … all kinds of stuff!

Join the forum there! If you have any questions about the lessons or
music in general or anything, join the GfB
forum.

Visit my other site PlaneTalk – The Truly Totally Different
Guitar Instruction Book if you’re at the stage in your playing where you’re comfortable with chords, scales,
barres and perhaps playing a lead, but you’re still completely in the
dark about how to see the WHOLE fretboard as familiar, workable
territory. Let my best selling book shed some light for you, as it does
daily to twangers form all over the World. There is a deceptively simple
way of tracking all music on the fretboard, which is of course the key
to being able to improvise.

Drop into Bottleneckguitar dot Com,
my other other site, where you can join the Slide Guitar Web Ring if you
have a related site, or join the growing Slide Guitar Forum if you’re
into slide guitar (who isn’t?).

My resonator version of Georgia still sits at #1 at Soundclick’s Jazz
General chart; it’s been there for weeks now. Have a listen to it and

Enjoy the lesson,
