What is I Am The Blues Lead Guitarist DVD?
It is a DVD of Blues tracks without the Lead Guitar providing an opportunity for all you burgeoning lead players to blow your pentatonic wad all over the place. Featuring eight different tracks in a variety of different styles to jam along to (slow blues, shuffle, rockin’ blues and even a bit of a Latin groove), and each track is available in both a traditional song form and as a looped version if you feel like playing until your fingers bleed. The video cues you get from the band make this a really great experience, much more fun than audio tracks alone provide.

How does it work?
Easy, put the DVD in your player, it will take you to the main menu. Tune your guitar with the tuning selection on the DVD. Now, back at the main menu pick the Jam you want to start with, loop or traditional play. Turn up the volume to get a good mix between your amplifier and the band mix. Have fun! The band itself is tight, with Oscar and company laying down rock solid grooves to play over. For players using the DVD to improve their ensemble skills, they’ll appreciate the use of visual cues to signal changes in the track, and much like band practice, you’ll improve with each repetition. It really beats a computerized backing track any day.

What playing level do you have to be at?
The DVD caters to beginners with a few simple jams to intermediate and beyond with a few of the more up-tempo jams. The only way to get better is to practice and there is no better way to practice than with other musicians.

Where can I find more of these Jam Tracks?
On the web at VODJams. Imagine playing Joe Perry’s Guitar Parts in Aerosmith, Piano with Coldplay, or Bass with The Police. This web portal provides videos of live bands in a rehearsal settings with each different video leaving out a key instrument, that you the musician get to play! – with the band. It is in its inception so keep checking back.

Who is the Oscar Jordan Band?

Product Description
If you’re trying to improve your lead guitar playing by studying scales, that’s only half the picture. The best lead guitarists in rock, jazz, country, bluegrass and R & B base much of their improvisation and soloing on chords-even when they’re playing single note solos. In this one and a half hour lesson, Fred Sokolow shows you several chord based approaches to soloing and backup. Covering several musical genres, Fred teaches you to: Play arpeggios, country licks and fast flatpicking solos in country/bluegrass tunes like Jambalaya and Wreck of the Old 97; Solo and backup R&B songs like People Get Ready and Just My Imagination in the colorful style Jimi Hendrix used on Little Wing. Play Steve Cropper-style licks on Dock of the Bay and Under the Boardwalk.; Improvise Django-style solos on swing tunes like Avalon.. You’ll also learn some music theory and get a better understanding of the guitar, as Fred shows you ways to instantly find chords up and down the fretboard and connect them in chord families. Lots of Fred’s solos are written out in the accompanying tab/music booklet and if you put the DVD in your computer, you can access a PDF file and print it all out in a larger size. Fred’s relaxed style of teaching makes it easy for you to add new licks, new color and new strategies to your lead guitar playing.

Every town throughout the world has one or two fully dedicated aspiring guitarists and bassists. These disciplined folks spend countless hours improving their craft. Their local musician community is made up of a small group of less-dedicated folks and people with divergent tastes in music. To the truly passionate musician, sometimes this can be frustrating. The dedicated guitarists and bassists of these communities have often surpassed the ability of local teachers, and are thus on their own following their musical heroes. Although guitar tab books and guitar lesson DVDs help, trial and error becomes the primary method. Learning with on line guitar lessons can be just as good as or better than learning off line. Instead of having just one person to learn from, you get a much wider variety of influences contributing to who you are as a musician.

You may have decided you wanted to learn to guitar solo from hearing some of your favorite lead guitarists perform, like Eddie Van Halen or Eric Clapton. They swing right into a guitar solo effortlessly and leave you and the crowd in awe. Well, it’s not out of your reach to become a guitar soloist like these famous lead players actually. Here are 7 tips that can help you become a great lead guitarist. 1. Keep your fingers light. When you learn to guitar solo, keep a very light touch on your fret board. When you think of how quickly your fingers need to move, you’ll realize that they won’t be in the same place for very long. Practice having a very light touch on the strings as you run through scales and riffs. 2. Don’t be ashamed to start slow. Do you think that Eric Clapton started as fast as he possibly could when learning to play the guitar? He probably didn’t and you shouldn’t either. Always play your guitar solos at a tempo that allows you to execute them correctly and then increase your speed with time. 3. Practice with a metronome. When first learning to play guitar solos, you may not notice if you’re playing a steady tempo. Get a hold of a cheap metronome and play along when practicing scales and you can greatly improve your sense of time and rhythm. 4. Learn guitar riffs and scales involving pull offs and hammer ons. Two of the most popular skills for guitar soloists are pull offs and hammer ons. Practice riffs that involve a mixture of these skills to develop a diverse playing method that can put you ahead of some of your friends. 5. Keep your hands dry. Now, this is something that is overlooked sometimes, but playing the guitar with dry hands and fingers is very important to guitar soloing. You’ll learn that in the wintertime, when the air is the driest, your fingers can move more smoothly over the strings. If you can blow some air on your hands or wash them after eating pizza, you can keep your riffs smooth and your strings clean. 6. Reconsider the guitar you own. Is it difficult for you to form chords or press notes down on your fret board at a faster pace even when you’ve been playing for at least a month? You may want to consider buying another guitar. Remember, a guitar that’s perfect for you allows the strings to be pressed easily to the fret board, and allows your hand to sit comfortably around the neck. 7. For beginners, crank up your distortion. When you learn to guitar solo in the beginning, it might seem a little difficult on an amplifier’s clean channel. Start with a channel of high distortion since they’re a little more forgiving for mess-ups, but work your way back to clean. You want to know that your finger position and strumming go together well. Learning to play fast guitar solos isn’t going to happen over night, but it won’t take an eternity either. Follow these 7 tips about guitar soloing and you can make the transition into a fine lead guitarist.
