There are 2 aspects to creating interesting lead lines and melodies. One is the actual notes… You can play around with various scales, seqeuences, arpeggios, intervals, motiffs, and patterns. The other, equally important aspect is the rhythms of the melodies. You can drastically alter a simple sequence of notes by changing around the rhythm of …
Hi Friend, TGIF! So let me ask you a guitar question: What if you could play rocking songs and 6 string powerchords with 1 finger? YES: INSANELY FULL POWERCHORDS WITH JUST 1 FINGER! There is a way… Very few guitarists know how. Virtuwul is a master at it. Watch him do it in this video: …

Friend, Wow. We’re having some mega-hot summer days here in Philadelphia, PA… Over 100 degrees yesterday! Man, I hope you’re beating the heat and drinking plenty of “H 2 0”. Speaking of “mega-hot”, my sizzling one-dollar-offer for the Chord Mastery ebooks will be GONE faster than a frantic ferret. Actually it disapears to-mor-row. So don’t …
