Yesterday’s live chat was fun! Unfortunately, I had some sync issues, so the video is not perfect. The video and audio is sometimes out of sync. This will be less of a problem next, I think. I’m also going record the next live session directly to my computer, so the archived version will always be […]
New lesson on practicing arpeggios to the chords in a typical blues. E7, A7 B7 (I, IV, V chords in a blues). Soundslice available.
In this course, you will learn a song in the style of “Help The Poor”, which BB King and Eric Clapton recorded on the album “Riding With The King”. I’ve been very thorough with this course, and I think you will enjoy it. There’s plenty of great soloing here, but I’m also teaching you the […]
This one is cool. The lick is using a 6-note pattern, repeatedly. The scale is E Dorian with a b5 added in one spot.
This month, we are going to focus on arpeggios. The first taste is a free lesson that is now available. I feel this is a very useful tool that should learn. The reason is because it’s simple a way to pick out the chord tones for chords you are playing over. When you combine this […]
I’ve been sitting on this one for a while… thinking I would present it with a solo as well. However, May has been too hectic so that will have to wait. So, I’m hereby giving you full rein to create an awesome solo over this track. Silly question – can you tell which Pink Floyd […]
New jazz fusion lick lesson available now. It’s a more challenging one, but very cool once you get it under your fingers. I’m playing it over a minor 2-5-1 in the key of E minor. Check it out. Soundslice available as well.
Dig in to this fun call and response blues! This is an excellent way to practice and master licks and rhythm! Remember, I will give a random Student Focus submitter a Skype lesson! So, submit a Student Focus video and get rewarded in several ways!
I’ve brewed 3 new, fresh and challenging licks for you. These 3 videos are available under the Lick of the Week course page. These 3 are videos I made for Positive Grid, but of course MGA members get them too. One is a typical Angus Young lick. Listen to the tune TNT, and you’ll hear […]
Let’s get some WAH on this! These licks are from Jimi’s awesome song, “Who Knows”. I love this tune. Hope you like the licks! Soundslice is available too of course! I also added a Gypsy Jazz backing track for you this week. See https://www.masterguitaracademy.com/backing-tracks/ – the file is in the “Box”, under the letter “C”.
