Hi! My name is John Armstrong with expertvillage.com, I’m a professional guitar instructor and today I’ll be going over some of the basic rudiments of playing lead guitar or soloing.

Okay next we’re going to harmonize major scales using sweep picked arpeggios, now sweep picking is a technique where we pick in one fluid motion for example when moving up the arpeggio, now all an arpeggio is a cord the notes of the cord played individually, for example if I was to take this D-major arpeggio which is a D, F-sharp, A, D, F-sharp and A, my root, my third, my fifth, my root, my third and my fifth note of a D-major scale.

That’s all there is to it. All it needs is a little practice, and a few more cool techniques, which you can get from the rest of the series. Check out the rest.

This guitar tutorial video, by John Armstrong and expertvillage.com, tells us about sweep picking on an electric guitar. This is an important lesson for all you lead guitarists out there, who want to play those great solo licks.

And then again when we turn the tuning knobs, turn them away from… you will notice that the strings here are, when they are circling around, that the string here is on the bottom level, and it will spot out its way up to the top, that will make sure that it locks and does not slip on you later and go out of tune.

Hi! My name is Mike Larney from the band Naked Underneath, and on behalf of Expert Village I am going to show you how to string guitar.

It’s important for a guitarist to know the basics of the guitar. It isn’t enough to know how to play well, but you need to take care of your guitar as well. This video, from expertvillage.com is a tutorial on how to change the strings on your electric guitar. Check it out.

As this is typical for lot of blues music we… we al… we alternate between flattened thirds and major thirds, minor thirds and major thirds, you kind of mingle those together and intertwine those together and it kind of creates the blue sound of uh… soloing using flattened thirds of the keys, a chord progression that have major thirds and so we kind of mix that all together a little bit, a little unorthodox for other styles of music but it works good for slide. It almost just opens up the entire fret board of the guitar; it is like um… you can kind of slide till you find a note that sounds good. Really there are few bad ones when you do it that way.
