Intermediate Guitar Lessons
Stage Four is the fourth guitar lesson dvd in the 2007 revision of The Complete Basic Course by Metal Method.
This intermediate guitar lesson DVD has information for all levels of playing experience. Basic techniques are demonstrated – vibrato, vibrato bend, tapping, harmonics, chime harmonics, and string muting. The five positions of the natural minor scale are taught featuring fretboard animations.
Just sit back, listen, watch, and learn. The dvd guitar lesson instructional program is divided into four weekly lessons. Each intermediate guitar lesson teaches a fourth of an instrumental piece that features the techniques taught in the lesson. When Stage Four is completed you’ll not only have mastered these techniques but you will have learned a challenging solo to perform over the guitar, bass, and drum rhythm track that’s included in this package. This solo is a very important part of Stage Four. At first glance, the techniques taught in these lessons are very basic, but the solo is challenging for even an experienced player. It’s completely analyzed according to scale, pattern position, and rhythmic phrasing. This will help you to create your own original lead guitar parts.
