Great stuff. Exercises that include open strings are really good at building clarity. They can be quite revealing, forcing a guitarist to make sure that it is really clean. Look forward to more.

Comment on Picking Etude Lesson #2 - Alternate Picking Arpeggios

I love your blog man. There aren't enough guitar blogs with lesson content, and if there are, they just focus on basic material, but people are hungry to know everything. I really enjoyed this particular video because I am quite fond of melodic passages. Thank you so much!

Comment on Fingerstyle Lesson #3 - Travis Picking

Mark — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 19:43:48 GMT

No Problem!

I am actually not the worlds greatest fingerpicker but I think its a skill that every guitarist should have. What I actually go the most is hybrid picking, where I can also utilize my pick...

Thanks for posting these lessons.

I think finger picking, at least in the rock/pop genre, is a dying art. But when it's done right, I actually prefer it over using a pick.

I'm getting better at it myself...

Comment on Minor Scale Lesson #1

I'm glad you like the lessons!

The open circle on the scale diagram is the "Root" or starting point of the scale. Do you know how to play movable chord shapes like power chords and barre chords? If so you can use the root in the scale pattern the same way you would use the root in one of the chord shapes! Just move the pattern up or down the neck until the open circle or "root" is on the note that you would like to use as your key...
