Description
It’s every bluegrass flatpicker’s dream to be able to build up speed while maintaining good tone and timing. Now one of America’s hottest players gives you the tools you need to get over the musical speed bumps — without crashing and burning as you go.

It’s all a matter of getting your right- and left-hand mechanics working correctly, and Steve has powerful advice and well-thought-out exercises to help you. Using tunes like “Old Joe Clark,” “Soldier’s Joy” and “Big Mon” as drills, Steve works on your hand and pick coordination and shows how to practice for best results. Tips on left-hand fretting positions (keep a light touch, very little skin on the back of the guitar neck), combined with how to hold and move your picking hand (use a wide swing with proper depth of pick; right hand should act as metronome or pendulum) help solve mechanical failures that often slow you down.

You’ll learn how to play syncopated runs and crosspicking patterns with ease, as well as a cross-picked version of “Wildwood Flower” that will amaze your listeners. Steve shows you how triplets and doubletime picking will help build your flatpicking technique and allow you to play blazing bluegrass instrumentals. As Steve puts it, “once you’ve got the mechanics of your right hand down, it doesn’t care what your left hand is doing.” Then it’s up to you to “oil the machinery” by practicing, burning tunes and licks into muscle memory so you don’t have to think about them. Finally, you’ll combine all the elements in a show-stopping display of chord runs and picking combinations on the Don Reno classic “Little Rock Getaway.” This lesson will help all aspiring flatpickers develop their potential and keep up with others in hot jam sessions and performances.

Are you a novice at guitar, intermediate or professional guitarist and looking for some inspiration (yes, even professionals need, or have an icon they look up to for inspiration). There have been and still exist a great number of great guitarists known to the world.
People like: Jimi Hendrix, Duan Allman, B. B. King, the list is endless. All you have to do is pick one (provided these are your kind of icons you want of course). Before you do that though; you need to know a little bit about them.
Jimi Hendrix, for example, dubbed as the greatest guitar player of all time by rollingstone magazine. If you were to look at a picture of him, you would be quick to point out the fact that he is just as human as you are. There is nothing that makes him any different from the rest of us (that should be some good news for the aspiring guitarist).
Despite being the best guitarist ever, he was a pretty much down to earth guy, sweet and shy. His general appearance would shock you to say the least. He was not the Brad Pitt of today; he was usually dusty and definitely not remarkable (don’t get me wrong, Jimi was an exceptional guitarist). The point that I am trying to put across is that he was as human as you and I.
Another human just like you and I was Duan Allman, of the “Allman brothers band. ” Even though he was a good slide player and had been playing the guitar for a long time; he didn’t know anything about slide until shortly after the start of the Allmans. He was human in the sense that he was not born a guitarist; it was something that he came to learn. If he could do it, so can you.
B. B. King, a man after my own heart, self –proclaimed “ambassador of the blues”; he was loved by the American music community. He was born in Mississippi and then moved to Memphis where he became a DJ. During the time he picked up his love of the blues and never stopped until he became the B. B. that we know today.
I can go on and on trying to show you that these great guitarists were/are human beings just like you and I. There is nothing special about them. What will help you to get to their level (if you put in the work and believe in yourself), is YOUR desire to learn and improve. The choice is in yours.

Are you a lefty? You want to play guitar but worried about whether there will be any problem for you to play well? There is nothing to worry. Some tips for left hand guitarists are provided below that will help you to compete equally with the right-handed guitarists.
There are some problems that almost every left-handed guitarist has to face. These tips for left hand guitarists will help you to get rid of these problems.
The first problem that happens with the lefties is they get confused about what guitar they should choose. There are two things that you can do. You can take a right hand guitar and just change the position of the strings. That means put the first string on the place of last string. After doing this, you can play. But this system can be a bit problematic. If this system suits you, then it is fine. Otherwise you can just buy a left hand guitar. But before choosing the guitar, do remember one thing. Settle down for playing the one, which you are comfortable with.
The next problem is sometimes the lefties find it difficult to understand the guitar lessons. Because majority of the guitarists are right handed. So the tutorials sometimes give emphasize to their way of playing. But do not get disheartened. It is not at all a big deal. The tips for left hand guitarists are with you always. Just reverse the whole lesson upside down and it will become completely your cup of tea.
The lefty guitarist sometimes faces the problem with the availability of their kind of guitars. Do not worry. If you go to a good shop, then you will find lots of lefty guitars. But remember, do not pick up and start playing a right hand guitar. Because it will prove that you are inexperienced and that there is a high chance that the shopkeeper will deliver you a defective one.
Do not feel ashamed of being a lefty guitarist. It is not a fault. Left hand guitarists are as good as the right-handers. Jimmy Hendrix, Curt Cobain, Paul Mc Cartney were all left hand guitarists. And the whole world is aware of their brilliance.
Before learning guitar, there are some more tips for left hand guitarists.
Do not try to play a right hand guitar in a lefty way. There will be a lot of problem while playing. The main problem will occur with the chords. Some chords will be impossible to handle. And it will not be a proper learning.
Do not even think of switching over to right hand guitar, if you are lefty guitarists. It will not give you that joy, which you will experience while playing a left hand guitar. And at the end of the day it is pure fun that matters the most.
Remember that it is true that a band with a lefty guitarist is 3% more attractive than others. These days everything depends on looks and packaging. And a left-handed guitar player looks fabulous.
So, do not hesitate while playing a left hand guitar. I hope these tips for left hand guitarists will help you. It will be able to boost up your energy. Do not think a lot. Just go ahead and rock the show.

As a Steve Vai fan, I can only dream of playing like him one day but as it happens I only manage a few short chords at quick-time speed. His guitar playing is nothing short of astounding and is still revered for being one of the most original musicians and inspiring creative artists.
It comes as no surprise then that there are a massive amount of resources available for Steve Vai guitar lessons, as well as other lessons from famous rock musicians, offering people the chance to learn some complicated strumming techniques. These are something that will come useful for people trying to find their own style of playing, however, the idea is to become inspired by the guitar playing rather than mimicking a great guitarist. When taking the guitar lessons one will need to stay patient with themselves as it requires plenty of practising and a lot of time with your guitar.
Official Steve Vai guitar lessons can either be found online, on DVD or in music book shops, which can help those with minimal funding to learn in their own time. But you do not always have to stick to learning to play like Steve Vai, you will also stumble across guitar lessons in the style of other great guitarists, such Santana, Joe Satriani and many more. Learning popular music is the best way for a beginner to improve their guitar playing skills.
The idea is to gain as much confidence on the guitar as you can so you move away from the trepid finger work and uncomfortable hand positions on the neck of the guitar. As many people do not have 10 hours a day of guitar playing time, there is little you can do in developing as quickly as you would like. Therefore, it is best to pace it at your level. Try not to be too hasty in trying to learn something. The best way to start is to pick your favourite Steve Vai tune and practise that until you get good at it.
You can take breaks in between by practising something but not for too long as you will want to go back to that at a later point. However, one advantage of taking a break from practising the same tune is that when you go back to it you will be familiar with the way you play it that it becomes easier and you will even strumming faster than you did before. The guitar lessons will help you on your to playing your favourite tunes, but will also specifically teach you Steve Vai plays. These techniques will come useful when playing solo or in a band.
It is worth gaining some insight into where these techniques were inspired so then you can broaden your playing choices and get a better knowledge of why people play the way they do.

Many of you reading this have obviously asked yourself whether or not you need tobe able to read guitar music. The truth of the matter is that it all depends on your goals and wants. There are those that need to learn and there are those that don’t.
So if it so happens that you fall in the category of those that need knowledge on guitar theory then you know what you have to do. But on the other hand, if you don’t fall in this category then you don’t need to worry about learning to read music.
Let us look at the two categories in a little more detail; those that should and those that don’t need to.
The People That Need To Read Music
If you fall under this group then you probably want to take up music as a professional career; starting guitar lessons at a tender age and/or want to be able to play classical guitar. Let us look at music as a career.
Guitar as a Career
Wanting to have the guitar pay the bills one day is a dream for a number of guitar players. If this is the case for you then please be aware that you will need to learn music theory. Unfortunately there are no two ways about that. Without the ability to read music you are killing your career before it even begins.
Starting To Play as a Teenager
It is advisable for those starting out at a tender age to learn to read music. Not only will this help you in the future understanding of music, but it will open doors to a sophisticated understanding of music that will give you a competitive advantage over those that can’t.
Classical Guitar
Classical guitar is different from blues, rock or folk. Unlike these kinds of guitar playing, classical requires a little bit more sophistication. Maybe the reason for this is because of the origin or how the whole kind of play unfolds. You can dig a little deeper on this and figure it out for yourself.
The People That Don’t Need To Read Music
Bet a lot of you are relieved to read this. One can only imagine the look on your faces if it was a requirement that anyone wishing to play the guitar had to learn to read music. Don’t be alarmed, if you only wish to play the guitar for fun there is no need to learn music.
Should I Learn to Read Guitar Music?
The answer to this question is simple; if you want to become a career guitar player then it is highly encouraged to go ahead and learn music. But if becoming a career player is not on your agenda then don’t bother. All in all, it would not hurt to know how to read music.

Left Hand guitar players the world over have always had a problem with availability of left handed guitars.

Many left handed people newly learning to play guitar end up learning to play right handed out of frustration. Many experienced left handed guitarists have simply become apathetic and given up looking for that which is abundant for right handed players. Not only is there a limited range of guitars, but the resources for learning are also pretty limited. This situation is the same in every country in the world.

It is not hard to understand. Of the world’s population, left handed people are a minority compared to right handed people. Within this minority there is a further minority of left handed people who play guitar left handed. Despite the small percentage of left handed guitarists, there have been a number of iconic left handed players who have made a huge impact on the music scene. These include Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Tony Iommi, and Kurt Cobain.

Many of the big guitar manufacturers do not offer left hand versions of some of their popular guitars. to be fair, US guitar manufacturers, have been facing harder and harder times, year after year. We all know that ALL industry (that is trying to do the right thing and being honest) is suffering and this is proportional to the decline of education (kids can’t learn, can’t hold jobs), the rise of drugs (thank you psychiatrists for getting rich by doping a whole generation into a state of useless-ness while brainwashing parents into believing frying kids brains with drugs is good) and increase of social hardship due to the world economic crash that’s going on (thanks Oil companies, banks, and government suppression) So it is tough for all.

Some guitar manufacturers offer left handed versions of their guitars through their Custom Shop. And although this is an attempt at service, the costs and waiting times can be quite painful.

Well, not any more! GASKELL GUITARS is a small Australian guitar manufacturer that makes only left hand guitars. Gaskell guitars are high quality, yet affordable instruments, that can be gigged with as they are or further upgraded or modified and still come in well under the cost of a custom shop order for the same kind of instrument!

Being situated at the “bottom of the world” and to some degree away from the noise of the collapse happening in other continents, we are able to operate intelligently and with focus on producing well-made, high quality left handed guitars that are not available as left hand models by original manufacturers.

You will find left handed guitars that you have not seen before in left hand and probably never thought you would! Some dreams do become reality.
