Unit 1
Rock Vibrato
Firstly, rock vibrato is used in a variety of settings, not just rock! The main focus if this course is to show you how to do the technique properly by giving you exercises and cool solos to practise.
Unit 2
Blues Like B.B.
In this set of lessons, we will be adding our second pentatonic shape, learning how to use the 'BB Box' and even tackling a BB King inspired blues solo. The solo will really push you to move those fingers a little faster and learn some cool new licks!
Unit 3
Linking Like Clapton
We will learn how to move through our pentatonics in a more musical way. These linking patterns really are key to understanding how many of the classic blues and rock players improvise across the entire neck.
Unit 4
More Notes More Fun Part 1
We will be taking our pentatonic shapes in minor and major and add 2 extra notes to them to create the 'full' major and minor scale. This will give us access to more notes to improvise with and therefore create more ambitious solos and riffs!
Unit 5
More Notes More Fun Part 2
We will be continuing where we left off by taking the scale shapes and applying half step bends and learning a really challenging solo. The solo will take most of this section of the course as it is very tricky, so take your time with it and have fun!
Welcome to the Lead Guitar Beginners Level 2 course! This course is the natural progression from Level 1, building on that foundation. Our primary focus in this course is to enhance your lead guitar abilities by expanding on the pentatonic shape introduced in the previous level. One of the key highlights is learning the art of vibrato, a crucial technique that adds a vocal quality to your guitar playing, making your leads truly sing!
