About Getting Better At Lead Guitar:

You make substantial improvements to your lead guitar technique playing by taking lessons with a great guitar teacher who teaches lessons in your specific musical style.

Simple:

Taking lessons with a guitar teacher gets rid of all the guessing you have to do. This makes the entire process streamlined and fun.

Unsure of what to work on to playing creative guitar solos? Wondering why you are unable to make your vibrato as expressive as your favorite player? Not fast enough?

Your guitar teacher helps you learn these things by guiding you every step of the way. No need for frustrating periods of slow progress.

There’s more though:

Your guitar teacher also helps you improve your playing in subtle ways you just never would've imagined by yourself (or found online) because of their extensive knowledge. This means you learn ways to overcome bad playing habits fast while also discovering new ways to play more effectively.

Don't wait to begin taking guitar lessons.

The longer you wait, the longer it takes to attain your musical goals and become the guitarist you wish to be.

Quick Tip For Playing Fast, Top-Quality Lead Guitar Phrases

1. Use neck pick up when you play notes that are higher in pitch. This means flip the pickup selector all the way to the top.

This makes the tone more smooth and thick.

The bridge pick up is great for rhythm guitar and for playing in the lower pitch range, but it sounds very thin and brittle on the high pitches and during most faster playing.

2. Keep your rhythmic timing consistent.

It’s common that guitarists play on the beat some of the time but ahead of the beat at other times. This applies to both rhythm and lead guitar.

Solution:

Simply stay focused on your timing more when you play. Split your awareness between playing the notes and anticipating when the next beat of the metronome is coming. Use recording software to better see and hear your mistakes.

3. Don’t waste time on practicing chromatic exercises.

Why?

First, it’s very easy to practice them in a mindless way since they have very little musical application besides just being finger exercises.

Second, you never have to play extended chromatic licks like this in music (so practicing these patterns only makes you better at playing chromatic runs like this, but nothing else really).

Your practice time can be spent much more productively by working on things that actually have good transferability to music and other aspects of your musical skills.

4. Develop excellent muting technique.

To make your muting more consistent, use the index finger of the fretting hand to mute the strings that are immediately higher than the one you are playing.

So, if you are playing the low E string, have the index finger covering the A and D string to keep them from making noise.

 

How To Navigate The Fretboard More Easily During Fast Guitar Solos

Ever feel like your solos become lost and you accidentally play notes that are out of key?

Here is what to do:

Make sure that you visualize what scale shape you are going to move into before you start to move there.

To get better at this skill, practice using scale shapes that begin in closeby positions.

For instance, practice improvising a lick a 3 note per string A minor scale beginning on the 12th fret of the A string within a single octave. Do this for a minute.

Then practice playing a 3 note per string G Mixolydian scale beginning on the 10th fret of the A string within a single octave (G Mixolydian uses the same notes as A minor, just starting on G instead of A). Do this for a minute.

For the next minute, mix both together.

Over time, slowly expand your fretboard coverage by adding more notes or scale patterns.
