Ask A Guitarist: Any Questions?

So I am finally going to start doing this blog thing. I mean on a regular basis.

In the past few years I have had the privilege of getting to know literally thousands of guitarists in every corner of the globe. Some have bought my guitar lesson books Ebay, others have been my private students.

I have considered many different ways to continue this online, and now after a lot of trial and error and scrapped websites that never went live, I’ve decided to do it here with GuitarWiz.net.


I have a lot of plans for this blog, free guitar lessons, product reviews, audio and video (once I get a new video camera…the one I had broke), guest bloggers, free giveaways and more.

But to really begin the conversation I want your input. What would you like to see here? What are the biggest questions you have regarding guitars, playing guitar, gear, or anything else?

Please leave your comments. I’m dying to read them.

And please subscribe to be sure you don’t miss anything. I promise you’ll be glad you did.

OK, how do you turn scales into music? I can practice them up and down all day but I’m still not shredding!

That is a topic I will be writing a lot about. For now check this post: http://www.guitarwiz.net/16-steps-to-guitar-scale-mastery/.

Hi Marc, it would be great to get some more insight into basic progressions and then some scales over top to illustrate musical ideas. I know it seems simple but a lot of sites/tutorials do this but play the scales too fast or it’s just not as understandable as it seems it should be. Maybe it’s just me :)

Hi there Marc! I would really like to learn about the different modes and scales. Lots of things about the more technical sense of guitar also not just theory via (sweep, string skipping and such)

These things would be great to some of the more advanced players as well as beginners thanks!

Hi Marc, I’ve been posting some simple stuff on YouTube recently which is really time consuming to record but the results are pretty easy to follow for beginners. Feel free to post a link to http://www.youtube.com/guitaraymond
I’ll be adding songs as I overcome technical hitches, which are currently in abundance. Good on you for your efforts. Ray. ps, please do not send large emails as it annoys people with dial up (like me). I get a work colleague to do my YouTube uploads.

Hi Marc – Please post effective finger (aside from the scales) exercises for strengthening. Exercises for beginners, intermediate , and advance guitarists.
Thanks!

Definitely! There will be a lot of posts about the technical side of guitar…sweep picking, speed picking and more. There will also be posts aimed at the novice/beginner player, including a series of beginner guitar lessons.

how do you get the feeling into the notes,
like the blues for instant,which I’m very
fond of,from the scales and chords?

Marc, this is an amazing project you are undertaking. In the future, there will probably be thousands of accomplished guitarists that will mention you as the main inspiring factor in their musical career!

My question is a very specific one that no one has been able to answer! What is the volume swelling feed backish synthesizer like pedal that Pat Thrall uses on the live album Go For What You Know! (Pat Travers Band) He uses it as background during the first solo of Hooked On Music and he uses it during the introduction of Boom Boom Out Go the Lights.
