You can create your own exciting guitar leads
too...
You just need the right information.
All you need to know is what notes on your
fretboard musically relate to each other.
You may even already know some note and chord
relationships in one or more keys and think I'm nuts.
But the fact is, when you have A COMPLETE
UNDERSTANDING of note relationships in music, you'll also know
all the chords and scales that are at your disposal in ANY KEY for
creating and improvising original music.
That's It! ... and yeah it's not nearly as hard as
you think it is. (At least the way I teach it)
But the best part, is that I show you all this music
knowledge as it applies directly to your guitar playing and the
fretboard.
But That's
Only Half Of The Formula...
Once you know EVEN A LITTLE BIT of the music side of things, you
apply your "music smarts" to a myriad of physical guitar techniques.
Imagine Combining
This "Music Know-How"
With A Surplus Of World Class Guitar Techniques!
Your creativity is ENDLESS.
I know... I'm living proof... and THAT proof is
on my original instrumental guitar CD "Living Digits".
And you
know what?...
Before I knew about
combining music and technique, I was
having the same trouble that I'll bet you're
having right now.
Are You A Frustrated And
Miserable Guitarist Like I Was?
See if you're feeling me on this
one...
I
reached the point
where I needed to go further but had NO IDEA
how to do it or even what I was looking for!
* I knew... that I had "holes" in my
familiarity with the notes
on the entire fretboard. I avoided
certain areas of the fretboard because I didn't know what to play
there.
* I knew... that when I would try to
write a song, I was "hunting and pecking" for the parts that sounded
good together and never
came up with stuff that I thought sounded
great.
* I would watch my favorite players
play lead and see finger
stretches that I never used... and wondered
how they knew that
their fingers could or should go there.
* I knew... that I needed to know
what chords related to each
other as well as what scales related to
those chords.
* I knew...
that my understanding of music applied to
the guitar was incomplete.
That Lack Of Understanding
Prevented Me
From Being The Guitarist I Am Today.
It's Holding You Back Too...
So I
studied...read books...wrote things
down...drew fretboard
diagrams of scale patterns...drew fretboard
diagrams of note
sequences...learned what stuff like
Mixolydian meant... what a I
IV V chord progression was...what diminished
was... how chords
are musically built...what the difference
between major and minor
was...etc., and of course, I played my
guitar to hear what I was
learning!
I studied everything I needed to know so I
could:
Play lead guitar over the entire
fretboard
Compose and play better chord
progressions
Compose and play world class
guitar solos against those chord
progressions
Feel on top of the world when I
woke up every morning!
(Believe me! You FEEL GREAT every day when you
just KNOW your guitar playing SMOKES!)

Living Digits |

Shredded Christmas Card |
As a result, I went on to write and record
the instrumental
guitar music on my CD "Living Digits".
I've
also been able to
easily apply that knowledge to existing
songs enabling me to
figure out what key those songs are in and
then do my own thing
with them like my "Shredded Christmas Card"
CD.

I hope you don't thing I'm bragging...
You need to realize that if I can do it, you
can too!
All that research took the fragmented bits
of understanding that
I had and "cleared the cobwebs" in
my musically messy brain.
It was like looking
through a dirty window at first and then
looking though a clean
one.
Guitar Freedom!
Now
I compose my own tunes, and know what musical
options I have to complete the composition.
I can figure out the key signature
of other people's songs and improvise
to "do my own thing" with them.
The only
cover tunes I've really ever done are some
Christmas classics.

That's What Exploded MY Guitar Playing
Forever...
But What About You?
That experience for me was so powerful and
enlightening that I
*had* to share it with other guitarists...
I
took all the information I had
previously scoured through and studied, and
boiled it down "step
by step" into my own personal "formula"
that's "straight forward"
and easy to understand.
Let's be frank, I don't know you.
I don't know your current level of guitar knowledge.
I don't know your technique skill level.
(or even what techniques you know at all)
But you're obviously here because YOU KNOW YOU NEED
HELP and want to be better... A LOT BETTER.
How many of these questions can you truthfully
answer NO?
1. I understand musical note relationships
within all key signatures APPLIED TO THE FRETBOARD OF MY GUITAR.
2. I know where all the notes are on the entire fretboard that I can use to play lead guitar
in any key or mode.
3. I know exactly what chords to use to create my own
songs.
4. I know exactly what lead guitar notes
on the entire fretboard I can use to play
over those chords.
5. I know how to play those notes as lead guitar
licks so they don't sound like scales.
6. I know how to be creative with guitar techniques
so I sound original.
7. I know exactly what modes are, and I can
explain them to a 10 year old kid.
8. I know how to play lead guitar in all 7 modes
of any key.
9. I know how to figure out what mode a song is in.
(yes, EVERY song is in some mode)
10. I know how to compose a chord progression in any
of the 7 modes... in any key I want.
If you truthfully answered YES to most of these these
questions, then I don't know why you're even here. You should probably
quit wasting time and go record your own CD. (I'd love to hear your
music!)
If you truthfully answered NO to most of these
questions, then I can help you more than you could ever imagine!
(The guy who mostly answered YES can vouch for me on this
one)
Here's How You Do It...
I have several guitar courses that I've
published over the past few years that have helped literally
thousands of guitarists all over the world.
After going through just 2 of those courses,
you'll be able to truthfully
answer YES to all those questions above and more that I didn't even
bother to ask.
Guitar Course #1
" Powerful Modal Theory
and Soloing"
explains
everything you need to know about the music side of this formula applied
directly to your guitar.
This course saves you a ton of
time by clearing your mind of all the misunderstood clutter
about music theory and guitar modes.
You may know already bits and pieces of songs,
famous leads here and there...but do you know WHY it sounds good and most
importantly, HOW to ad-lib by playing your own licks along with the song...
everywhere on the fretboard... without hitting a wrong note?
Jam
along with any song
because you understand exactly what to play and when to play it
I unveil my FAST mode
recognition techniques to you. This section teaches several quick ways to
determine what mode a chord progression is in and thus, what scale
you need to use in soloing over that progression. Skyrocket
Your Improvisational And Songwriting Skills.
Prove
to yourself that you understand using my 10 question test where you identify what mode the selected chords belong to.
Did you know that sometimes there's more than 1 correct answer? That
means more than 1 possibility for correct key selection!
Discover how chords are
built... like what makes a minor chord minor?...and a major 9th chord
a major 9th?...or a 13th chord a 13th?
How to
apply modal theory to your soloing. In this section, I explain
various approaches to soloing that I take based on modal theory.
That IS the reason for knowing this stuff right? To help propel your
soloing knowledge to a world class level!
10
"Full Band" Jam Tracks of original chord
progression loops representing all of the modes. I play the rhythm guitar
(drums and bass are there too!) and you play your leads!
This stuff is NOT meant to be played on tiny PC speakers! :-)
Five
of the loops are non-distortion rhythm guitar and the other five are
hard and heavy.
Again, these are ten unique loops, not the same five
done two different ways!
Guitar Course #2
"Creative Lead Guitar" explains everything you
need to know about COMBINING MUSIC SMARTS AND GUITAR TECHNIQUES to
create your own red hot guitar solos
and songs.
In this 4 1/2 hour video course, I take you step by
step in excruciating detail exactly how I composed 7 different lead
guitar solos over 7 different chord
progressions...
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW YOU CAN DO IT TOO.
I take you through the entire creative process from
the first thoughts before even playing a note... all the way through to
the last note of the solo.
I even explain why sometimes you just have to totally
throw away ideas that you think are good.
YES... QUALITY, NEW and FRESH LEAD GUITAR... not just playing the
same old stuff over again and again.
How to CHANGE UP YOUR LEADS.
HOW SIMPLE LITTLE CREATIVE TRICKS breath life into
your solos that propel them melodically through each and
every chord change.
Why 7 Lead Guitar Solos?
Simple. 1 Guitar Solo Per Musical Mode.
There are 7 musical modes that musicians can use
to their advantage for conjuring up specific and
unique "moods" of music.
I'll show you how to create your own lead guitar solos in all the
these modes using a combination of techniques...
