ANOTHER GUITAR SHOW

Summary: Our first episode!

In our first ever episode on Another Guitar Show we start with the question "what is the number 1 thing that will improve your guitar playing". We also introduce two ear challenge sections to the show! see a full write up below as well!

Part 1: Metronome work

As the guys chat about in the first part of the video, using a metronome is so important to progressing your playing. So, the only thing the guys didn't talk about is where to find a metronome. You have a tonne of options from apps, websites, physical products and more. Here are a few links that may help you find the perfect metronome for you.

    Online Links: Metronomes

  • 1. Simply type metronome into Google and Google has a really cool little app at the top of the screen.
  • 2. https://www.metronomeonline.com/
  • 3. Physical Metronome from KORG
  • 4. If you use a MAC, fire up Garage Band and you can even drop in a drum loop!
  • 5. Drum App online: It's a little more complicated, but drums can seriously help rather than 'bleep bleep'!
  • 6. Fire up the app store on your phone and search 'metronome' and take your pick!

Part 2: Name That Tune In One

We loved this section! The four tracks were 'Sunshine Of Your Love', 'Sweet Home Alabama', 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Twist & Shout'! If you are interested in learning these tracks, simply click the links below and we'll direct you to either the lesson on our site or on Andy's!

Part 3: Ear Speed Challenge

For the final part of the show we challenge Andy & Chris to test each others ear skills! We had some really cool little licks on display from both chaps, so we've tabbed them out below, including the scales they are from. Give them a try yourself!

Episode 2 - How to Play A Guitar Solo Without Thinking

In our second show we discuss a number of ways you can start to develop your improvisation and guitar soloing skills without learning a tonne of songs, solo's or scales. We also play 'name that riff in one' with Andy and Thomas... It's a shame Thomas doesn't know the name of any songs!
