This week, I want to send you off with a BIG 2-For-1 guitar lesson by my friend Will Landrum.

In lesson 4 of this 5 part series, Will shows you how to play a HOT and often mis-played riff by Ritchie Blackmore called “Burn”. After seeing Will’s video, I realized that I’ve actually seen famous well known guitarists play this riff wrong. Will sets you straight on this one.

Here is the video with tablature:   http://www.guitarconsultant.com/rd/25jt4.html

 Also in lesson 5 of 5, Will shows you how to play the classic riff from the Beatles “Day Tripper”.

Here is the video with tablature:   http://www.guitarconsultant.com/rd/25jt5.html

 If you missed the previous riffs that Will has been teaching you can still see them here for a limited time:

• Crazy Train

 Here’s another new video where Will shows you exactly how to play a really “HOT” riff by Jimmy Page. Along with accurate tablature and sheet music, he demonstrates the riff normal and slow speed to help you nail it down perfectly!

In last week’s lesson, we looked at augmented chords and how they work in a chordal sequence when the 5th of a chord is raised. In this week’s lesson, we will look at the augmented chord when the tonic note of a chord is lowered, one half step at a time. Many songs like “Stairway to Heaven,” “Time in a Bottle” and “Michelle” use this chordal sequence. Get ready to learn how to play a “minor 6” chord, as well. It’s really very, very cool. So check out the video and learn this invaluable stuff.

 
And as a quick reminder: If you like what you are learning in these video newsletters, please let me know. If you would like me to cover certain topics, let me know that too. I also strongly suggest that you check out my “Learn2Jam” guitar improvisation soloing course. If you want to learn to play YOUR OWN LEADS through improvising or just be a better lead player, you got to check it out. It will literally save you years of learning time. I promise that I can get you soloing quicker than you ever can imagine.

If you haven’t heard me talk about this app previously you can find out more from our website, which includes a video which discusses the app.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.sharpwebstudio.guitarrx1&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/guitarrx-riff-practice-app/id548217270?ls=1&mt=8

This app is FREE and comes pre-loaded with 5 free lessons plus an addition 4 more that will be send over the first week after you install it.  

This lesson is very cool and one you won’t find many instructors talking about. And yet, when you need this silver bullet, nothing can take its place.

Obviously, there are tons of chords that you can learn to play. Most of them are inversions of ‘normal’ chords (like the ones you and I play,) which you will never need, unless you become a ‘Jazzer.’ But there is one type of chord that you will need in your playing that no one talks about and yet nothing can take its place.

In this lesson, I show you what this Tension chord is, how to play it and how to use it and play inversions of it. It’s really very, very cool. So check out the video and learn this invaluable stuff.

I know I’m early this week, but with all of the hustle and bustle to come, I wanted to get your newsletter letter out to you before the panic sets in.

This lesson is a bit different than those I have given before. Most guitar work can be explained with objective mechanics. Through time those mechanical elements take on some grease and before you know it, your sound starts to mature. This lesson is a lesson on “DYNAMICS.” It’s meant to open the door to those who never have thought about this element when playing. It’s one of the “maturing” elements in playing the guitar. The earlier you start the better it will be down the road.

Just remember that when you are playing a solo, you are trying to say something to someone. If you were speaking to someone, you would raise and lower your voice for emphasis. It’s no different on the guitar. If you are screaming all of the time it drives people crazy. If you whisper all of the time, people won’t hear you. You need to blend the two along with a normal level of playing.

This lesson will get you started in a great way. (I wish I had someone to show me all of this stuff when I was learning to play!)

I promise that I can get you soloing quicker than you ever can imagine.  And right now you can grab this course and a handful of free gifts when you buy under our special Black Friday promo…. see the details below. 

Here it is:

• 50% off the Learn2Jam price ($149 reduced to $74.50)

PLUS not one, not two, but three great free gifts with a total value of $165. These are gifts of REAL value, not some second-hand left over e-book or sharware you can find on the internet. The gifts are:

• A 2GB Mp3player
• An ipod/Mp3 player External speaker + FM Radio
• The Guitar Leads Master Volume

That is a total of more than $169 of valuable free gifts plus $75 in discounts. In total it is over $239 in value.

It’s like buying one product and getting 3 others FREE. Think of the different way you can mix and match this stash of goodies. You can keep em all for your self, or you can give away some of these as presents to others, or use them as stocking stuffer.

Use this link and grab this:   http://tinyurl.com/d7vu87m

 Let me tell you a little more about each of these items. You can see all of them in the above graphic.

The Guitar Leads Master Volume contains more than 425 individual practice segments and riffs from some of the world’s greatest classic rock songs.  These are bundled with full and half speed audio and accurate tablature.

The 2GB mp3 player is a great device for loading and storing backing tracks and other songs and riffs you’d like to learn.  Once you have copies them onto this device you can then use your earbuds or the external speaker to play them back hands free so you can play along with your guitar at the same time.   This allows you to become mobile and not rely on your computer for song playback.

The Ipod/Mp3 External speaker is probably my favorite of the goodies.  I should mentioned that not only is it an external speaker (for a computer, ipod, mp3 player, phone, etc.) it is an FM radio with presets.  What I like about this external speaker is that I can connect it to my Phone or ipod and it allows me to play songs without being tied to earbuds or headphones all the time.  It is a compact, small speaker that gives surprisingly good quality output. I find more and more that I am sitting somewhere with my phone and would like to have an external speaker.  This fits the bill nicely.
