Cool Links #5

This is a link to great articles written by Steve Vai that was originally published in Guitar Player magazine. A good friend and fantastic musician, Jack Charles Simon Lian (guitarist for the bands Naked Breed and Tempered Mental) shared this article with me and now here I am passing this to you. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

I found a more intergrated metronome that can handle odd meters and has a practice timer built-in. It is so cool.

To add to the previous post about right hand technique here are two related links:

A PDF file about right hand guitar technique from the Fender Players website (I know it’s an unlikely combination but the PDF excerpt is from a book by Christopher Parkening – a prolific classical guitarist)

Christopher Parkening Right Hand Lesson PDF

Another great link is this – (copyright free!) from the Danish Royal Library:

Mauro Giuliani’s 120 exercises for the right hand PDF

Enjoy!

  Great site from the Assistant Chair of Berklee’s Guitar Department. Good PDF files of Essential Scales and Modes, material on the harmonic major modes and more. I use this as part of my reference while practicing nowadays.
