Rock Guitar In 6 Weeks - Week 3
"Rock Guitar In 6 Weeks - Week 3" is your gateway to mastering the essential elements of rock guitar. This course is specifically designed to enhance your guitar skills through the exploration of advanced techniques and patterns inspired by the legendary Angus Young of AC/DC. Each lesson is carefully crafted to expand your musical vocabulary and provide you with the tools to add depth and emotion to your playing. This course is taught by Danny Gill.
Course Overview
Major Pentatonic Scale
Diving into the Major Pentatonic Scale, guitarists unlock the key to fluid, melodic solos that resonate with the brightness and positivity quintessential to rock music. Mastery of this scale not only broadens your improvisational capabilities but also lays the foundation for crafting memorable solos that capture the listener's imagination.
Connecting Patterns
The art of connecting scale patterns across the fretboard is vital for any aspiring rock guitarist. This technique enhances your ability to navigate the neck seamlessly, allowing for more expressive and extensive solos. It forms the backbone of dynamic playing, enabling guitarists to transition smoothly between different tonal areas and create solos with greater musical narrative.
Double Stops
Double Stops introduce a rich, harmonic layer to your playing, essential for emulating the rhythm and lead styles of Angus Young. This technique, which involves playing two notes simultaneously, adds texture and depth to riffs and solos, offering a fuller, more engaging sound that can elevate the overall impact of your music.
3 Licks in the Style of Angus Young
Focusing on three distinctive licks in the style of Angus Young, this lesson offers a practical application of the techniques and scales discussed. These licks encapsulate the essence of rock guitar, combining aggressive attack with memorable melodic content. By integrating these licks into your repertoire, you gain insight into the creative process of one of rock's guitar icons, enhancing your ability to develop your unique style.
