How To Play Melodic Rock Lead Guitar

How To Play Melodic Rock Lead Guitar is an eBook containing all the information you need to be able to play melodic rock lead guitar. Taking inspiration from players such as Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Peter Frampton, and Gary Moore (in his more melodic guise), this book shows you the techniques and scales you'll need to play memorable, hummable rock guitar solos.

All of the concepts are explained in clear, plain English with a minimum of jargon. Everything is demonstrated in video clips linked in the PDF document. There is a multitude of jam tracks for you to play along with and try the ideas out for yourself, as well as over 100 pages of TAB (in both Guitar Pro & PDF formats) for you to cherry pick licks and ideas from.

Among the subjects covered are:

• How to bend strings & do hammer-ons, pull-offs etc.
• Everything you need to know about the pentatonic scale
• The CAGED system and its alternatives
• Modes - ever struggled with these? I guarantee you'll get it this time!
• Note targeting
• How to create great sounding licks
• How to harmonise any guitar part easily
• "Fancy" scales for those exotic sounding licks
• Fretboard knowledge
• Creating and using arpeggios
• All of the shapes, patterns and fingerings you'll need

This book contains all the knowledge I've accumulated over decades of playing and teaching people to play rock lead guitar. It's presented in a clear and concise manner without any requirement for music theory knowledge. It's the book I wish I'd had when I was learning to play rock lead guitar.
