Module II

In this module you’ll gather information that will enable you to create your own riffs or play lead guitar.

Arpeggios are a fundamental building block to solos. This lesson gives you an easy and reliable approach to playing and remembering them: LP12 Arpeggios From Scales Expand this study with the following lesson, which will enable you to use your arpeggios for any chords in a song: LP13 Arpeggios in Progressions

Lesson
1

You’ve probably run into sus. chords and played them in a number of songs. But if you don’t understand what they are, it’s hard to remember them or create a way to play them. THis simple explanation will help:  Th14Suspended Chords

This is a longer video lesson and it covers a lot. Watch it repeatedly! 
LP33 Single Notes and Melodies

Lesson

Now that  you’ve had some time to practice your scale patterns, you’re ready to start playing patterns within those patterns. If you’re not able to play at least two scale patterns from memory and with fluidity, go back and practice them some more before doing this lesson: LP7 Patterns within Patterns Here are some more patterns for when you’ve completed those: LP17 More Patterns in Patterns

Lesson

I love teaching the information in this lesson, because I consider it to be the key to the musical universe! You may not realize the implications immediately, but it won’t be long before the value sinks in. As in all things theory, watch/study repeatedly, then (ideally) teach it to someone else.  Th24Scale Harmony

Lesson

In this lesson on lead playing, you’ll star to see why the scale harmony lesson above is so valuable. This is another longer video lesson that you will want to watch repeatedly. LP30 Lead Playing
