Part 3 Amie Guitar Lesson

In case you missed it there are 3 parts to my Amie Guitar Lesson video. I don't have guitar tab for this song, but I slow everything down and explain all the licks and phrases. This lead guitar solo is suitable for intermediate and advanced level players only.

If you're just getting started with guitar scales and soloing I recommend that you be careful not to get ahead of yourself. Instead, check out the free preview to my DVD Getting Started with the Pentatonic Scale.

By the way, my dentist recorded this for himself during a private lesson (we used to barter for services back when I still taught). If you're in need of good dental work visit Dr. Kozy's website at: Cosmetic Dentist Toledo

Guitar Chord Melody

Guitar chord melody utilizes chord forms, inversions, voicings, & scale patterns in all positions. http://bit.ly/7m2oWX
