He shows how to use simple chords, even jazz chords, in the blues. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aH0wek8q_vtjbwz08pk0NR5Hvqc/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/aH0wek8q_vtjbwz08pk0NR5Hvqc/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Guitar Girl Plays Doobie Bros</h1> <p>JB — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:43:17 +0000</p> Check out this young lass, Su, Jamming to the Doobie Brothers classic hit “Listen to the Music”. This is a good video showing her hands quite clearly. Note her use of the Jimi Hendrix chord E7#9 and the Emaj pentatonic scale with some extras tossed in. Strumming/picking bit suspect, but it works with what she’s doing. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/grFGdWLeRUuSFlTAaS3B7lg89hM/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/grFGdWLeRUuSFlTAaS3B7lg89hM/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>What’s Up With FD Lessons?</h1> <p>JB — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:07:06 +0000</p> This post is for FD members and applies to Module 10. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hip_vMV7DoChlisUU3JW8JPNupw/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hip_vMV7DoChlisUU3JW8JPNupw/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>United Breaks Guitars</h1> <p>JB — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:19:17 +0000</p> Dave Carroll, Canadian country singer/musician had his $3,500 Taylor acoustic guitar broken by United Airlines. He spent 9 months going through the hoops to get them to accept responsibility to no avail. So he made this video. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mx6_MZYQH0jyIAYzpTD31nnBw-0/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Mx6_MZYQH0jyIAYzpTD31nnBw-0/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Allan Holdsworth with Soft Machine</h1> <p>JB — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:25:57 +0000</p> Here’s a couple of much earlier Allan Holdsworth clips from YouTube.

Essentially, learning how to play electric and/or acoustic guitar are the same thing. You have to learn the exact same chords, scales, theory, picking and strumming techniques etc. Electric guitar just adds some [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FLBKgp9ZxuhaIEfHjxHQYaDqZns/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FLBKgp9ZxuhaIEfHjxHQYaDqZns/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>What Made You Take Up Guitar?</h1> <p>JB — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:49:07 +0000</p> Let us know what made you take up playing guitar. It could be to pick up a girl or anything else.

But check this video out. The guitarist is Jim Mullen. He’s HOT. But his picking defies conventional wisdom. He uses his thumb and plays all down strokes. Very impressive. And I really like his sound, phrasing and note choices too.
