Blues Guitar DIY Classes Kansas City And Good Phrasing

By Daniel Jones


Music is a state of mind and a state of soul, and it is particularly dictated by rhythm. If you fail to feel the rhythm, you need to seriously work on your musical inclinations. Just like any other instrument, the guitar has its unique beat that you need to feel it. You will never be able to sustain a guitar solo in front of an audience that will make them go 'wow' unless you learn this simple, yet complex guitar DIY Classes Kansas City.

So why is this aspect of guitar playing essential? The mere definition of the term describes how it defines the extent of a musician's skill. The lengthy, substantial, complex passages and sections, also known as guitar solos, heard and composed within full melodies stand out with a spotlight of their own, leaving no room for error, miscalculation, sharps, or any other audible mistakes that would damage a musical piece.

You would most definitely hear such passages from pop, modern jazz, metal rock, alternative, acoustic, blues, and even classical melodies. Some songs are even famously defined for their unmistakably prominent solos, such as "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin and "Hotel California" by the Eagles, to name a few. Of course, it is not limited to heavy metal. Guitar solos enhance characteristic melodies by showing off the most enticing note and chord arrangements that one could hear.

In case you have difficulties with a certain part of your solo piece, go over it over and over again. Your solo will amount to nothing if you cannot master all the notes, their succession, and the techniques to deliver the perfect results you are after. Try asking a teacher or learn from video tutorials how to go over such obstacles.

Solo lessons should first start off with the basic movements and then move into the more complicated ones. It should be a step-by-step progression, starting with techniques like basic bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs and then work your way up to the more difficult techniques like rakes and sweeps (and I do not mean gardening equipment).

However, the good blues guitar solo lessons encourage you to develop your ears and think regarding phrasing, which is directly related to self-expression. It allows you to play your notes as if you are talking, by utilizing inflections, vibrato, dynamics/volume, bending, staccato, etc.

There is some player born with perfect pitch golden hearing talent. It is one of a kind exception, and yet it will not replace the musical note reading necessity. I am not sure if there is any guitar player who can play a composition without reading a music sheet.

As you become better at phrasing, your communication with your audience will become better. Without good phrasing, you will be just rattling off your technical dexterity with the instrument. This type of phrasing leaves the listeners in the same state of mind, which you experience in the company of an endless talker. Good phrasing allows you to talk "to" the audience, rather than talking "at" them.
