Making your arpeggio and scale drills fun (10 simple ideas!)
You don’t always have to make practice boring. This little jaunt through the musical landfill is just me running mi7b5 arps. Think of all the things you can do to push your creativity while trying to improve your visualization:
1. Keep a groove.
2. Change the position randomly.
3. Play different rhythms against the click.
4. Let go of the idea everything needs to be played perfectly (feel more, think less).
5. Insert randomness. Be curious.
6. Play multiple strings of the arp at once.
7. Create themes and see what happens.
8. Add open strings and ask yourself if they work, and if so, what are they in relation to the arp?
9. Shake your booty in that chair!
10. Set a timer with your phone. St...

Feeling the swing (Guitar Thoughts)
Просмотров 2682 года назад
Sometimes students struggle with rhythm, and I have to admit, it isn’t fun when you know you’re off but can’t seem to figure out why (rhythm is a tough thing to teach for this exact reason.) Technical explanations aside (when they do not prove helpful or pull a student away from feeling the groove), stripping away variables such as the riff, chords, and even all notes sometimes helps to focus o...

Roots and Radicals - Rancid micro guitar lesson (Guitar Thoughts: easy palm muting introduction)
Просмотров 3172 года назад
This simple Rancid riff is a great introduction to combining palm muting and power chords. This recap assumes you already understand how to palm mute, and are looking for simple riffs that provide opportunity for separating the mutes and the open chords. Nothing special, just fun!

John Dis (Guitar Thoughts--barre chord shells and open strings)
Просмотров 612 года назад
This mini lesson is called "John Dis", given the flattering hotel lighting. I go over two simple, yet powerful ideas for solo guitar players and songwriters: 1. Open barre chords that leverage open strings 2. Trying bass notes on different strings Enjoy! If you'd like to talk to me personally and learn more, reach out here: walkerguitarlessons.com
Valentine With Butterfly Wings (Guitar Thoughts in Bm)
Просмотров 732 года назад
I call this one “Valentine With Butterfly Wings” because it sounds like Kevin Shields and Billy Corgan made a baby. Main concepts: 1. Walking bassline with anchored upper chord shapes. 2. Adding open strings for interest. 3. Down-strumming sixteenths for more of a rock intensity. 4. Accents on the backbeats (two and four). 5. Playing from a deep internalization of the time. If you’d like to div...
CAGED Octaves (and where to start learning your scales--lesson recap)
Просмотров 912 года назад
A common problem I hear a lot about is: "How can I learn the layout of notes in a scale on the guitar neck? It feels like I have a spotlight on only the single area I have learned..." This is a complex topic, but I always start students off with learning all five of the CAGED octave shapes. Here's a quick recap video of a suggested CAGED routine for the beginner who knows one or two scale patte...

Finding Melodies (simple methods for being creative--guitar lesson)
Просмотров 1182 года назад
Often times we need to find the balance between effort and reward; I work with many of my students in this regard. After a long day of work you might not want to practice the guitar in a traditional fashion, but rather desire to move forward in a way that resonates with you musically. This exercise provides simple, effective ways to create interest within any chord progression, and hopefully in...
Beat Four Fun! (Fundamentals of combining rhythm and lead guitar lesson)
Просмотров 1492 года назад
"How can I play rhythm and lead guitar together?" I get this question a lot from my students. The answer is complex and has many in-roads, however, fundamentally it begins with being able to keep track of musical space. How can you play leads if you don't know what the chords (you have removed in order to play the lead) are? Here's a simple exercise to start building awareness. Goals: 1. Improv...

As a reset for something really silly dorky and simple; could you make a tutorial starter video for Legend or Zelda: Zelda’s Lullaby, or Goo Goo Dolls: Feel the Silence acoustic???? Would totally be grateful !

    Hi Corey, I just came across your channel today after searching for covers of Let My Love Open the Door which I am trying to learn. I found your video very helpful. After watching more of your videos I wanted to let you know I appreciate your laid back, almost humble presence and style. I agree with you that RUclips like most platforms has become thoroughly commercialized, but there is also so much positive to be found here too. There are so many wonderful channels. RUclips has become my go to source to learn or research just about anything. I hope you continue to do just what you were doing before you stopped. Welcome back.
