Hey everyone,

It’s been a little while since the last video but I got some really cool new stuff to show you with this song. I created some new chord progressions, rhythms and melodies.

I also started using some guitar effects, like reverb and delay, on the melody guitar.  I’m a big fan of using effects to thicken up the sound and gain some inspiration.

In this video I’m going to show you all the new parts as well as how they go together

Enjoy!

Welcome to a new episode of Rock Guitar Power TV!

In this video I am going to show you how I record and arrange my ideas in a software program called Logic.  Along with using Logic, I also use a program called pro tools to record my ideas. Logic is great because it’s easy to use and has a lot of loops that are easy to work with that help me write. I’m also going to show you how I create backing tracks to jam along to.

The main thing to keep in mind when working this way is to be very precise on your rhythm. I do a lot of looping where I cut and paste ideas so it’s important to make sure your rhythm is dead on so that the parts loop well.

Check out the video to see how I do this:

It’s shredding time!

So I couldn’t help myself. I was really excited to get to doing some lead guitar work over the chord progression I came up with so in this video you get to see me improvise and solo for awhile over the changes.

I’m really loving this tracks so far and hopefully this video will show you why.

I’ve made the backing track that I’m jamming to available to everyone. It’s in the free backing track section of Rock Guitar Power.  To gain access sign up with your name and email in the box to the right of this page that says “Free Guitar Lessons” and then you will find the tracks under the Free Content Members Area.

Here’s the video (I’m also trying to get these out on facebook so if your on there, please use the share button on the bottom of this post and get it out there!)

I’ve been jamming on the chord changes and have been coming up with some really cool stuff.  I’ve been studying the rhythm techniques of Rodrigo y Gabriella and used some of them in this part.

It’s an awesome technique and it sounds really cool. Your able to play triplets very fast and controlled. It brings a lot of fire to the sound.  If you haven’t heard of Rodrigo y Gabriella, check them out! There a huge influence on me.

Alright, welcome to the first episode of Rock Guitar Power TV!

In this video I am going to show you the chords and melodies that I’m starting my song off with. It’s in the key of Bm and starts off with the chord progressions: |: Bm | Em D :|

I came up with the melody by jamming on the B minor scale.  The rest of the parts are pretty much arpeggios for the remaining chords.  Check out the video to learn more!
