I've posted
a new video sample from Logical Lead Guitar on YouTube.com. The link is below,
as are sheet music and tablature for the examples shown in the video. Also, at
the bottom of this email I've included a sneak peak at the table of contents
for the book "Mastering The Five Pentatonic Scale Patterns," one of
the 11 books included with the course from which I excerpted this sample
lesson.
I posted
this video clip after getting numerous email requests to see how I break down
scale patterns on the DVDs in the Logical Lead Guitar course. In the course I
go way further than shown in the YouTube video and in this newsletter, this is
just an example of my teaching method. In the complete course I tear apart all
five of the pentatonic scale patterns, the seven diatonic (major, minor, and
modal) scale patterns, and the 10 CAGED major and minor arpeggios. These are
the must-know patterns for anyone who really wants to play lead guitar.
I'm pretty
confident there aren't any other courses out there which actually show you what
to do with scale and arpeggio patterns the way I demonstrate them in Logical
Lead Guitar and I've seen most of the major guitar courses out there, from
TrueFire, Jamorama, Amazing Guitar Secrets, and from all the big publishers
such as Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, Warner Bros., etc.
I've
successfully taught a lot of students nationwide including a couple who went
on to become rock stars using these same techniques, and hope that you will
also find my methods easy to follow, with the result that you'll soon be
playing great lead guitar!
So, if
you've already learned your scales but still don't understand how they are used
to play music and solos on the guitar, THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU!
Or if you
only know some of the five different pentatonic and/or seven different diatonic
scale patterns which cover the fretboard in any key, THIS IS THE COURSE FOR
YOU!
Or if you
don't know anything at all about scales but want to learn, THEN THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY THE MOST USER FRIENDLY COURSE FOR YOU!
Now Let's Play!

message and I'll email them to you attached in a Microsoft Word document.
In this
sample video lesson, we're working with the main pentatonic pattern:
