We Be Jammin’

I found this Dude on Youtube and just had to share. There are other places you can get backing tracks to play to and most of them are popular songs. I like this guy’s stuff because it sounds great AND YOU get to play what YOU want without any preconceived ideas floating around your little [...]

Break the Barrier

Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
Jimi Hendrix

This is SOOOOO true!!
In it’s basic and pure form blues is just 3 chords (I-IV-V) and 6 notes played with an attitude. But like Jimi says, sooo hard to do really well.
I am sure if you have been to any number of jams, you have [...]

Video Example for “Question” Post

Here is a video demonstration for the previous post about “QUESTION: Changing Notes to follow Chord Changes”. Remember, I just improvised this with ONLY 3 NOTES! You don’t have to play a fury of notes to sound good when soloing. See anyone can do this and I teach you how in my E-Book Rapid Playing Method [...]

That is because these are mostly just [...]

Enjoy and feel free to comment or send me an email to www.rpm4guitarsolo@hotmail.com if you have any questions:

Is it Greener?

IT’S SOCIAL!!

Yee haw ya’ll, or if you prefer, youins!! I am feeling a little country tonight and I’ll tell you why – I’ve reconnected with my old best bud.
That’s right, the same dude I talk about whose dad really got me going down the path of guitardom.  I’ll refrain from giving you his name to protect [...]

Just Jammin’

Here are a few examples of me just jamming away off the top of my head, but using most of the stuff I teach. If you want to finally learn how to solo then go here and you can!
