In this free video guitar lesson we will continue our “Lick Of The Week” guitar lesson series with a cool cascading country guitar lick using open strings, hybrid picking, fretted notes, hammer-ons and slides to create a mesmerizing flurry of notes.
This style of guitar is used very frequently by great players such as Albert Lee, Brad Paisley, Brent Mason, Chet Atkins, Roy Buchanan, Johnny Hiland and James Burton.
Within this video guitar lesson I will take you through the lick in both the left and rights hands so you can see exactly how these types of of cascading country guitar licks are played. From there, hopefully you will understand how to create you own guitar licks in this style.
Grab the PDF TAB download for this lesson below so the video lesson will be easier to follow.
Well you asked for it so here it is, note-for-note video guitar lessons for Led Zeppelin’s classic and epic “Stairway To Heaven”.
EVERY guitar player should know how to play this classic because not only is it probably the most popular classic rock song of all time, it also has some great guitar work in it by Jimmy Page.
Everything from fingerpicking, fast rhythmic strumming, arppegiated picking and a scorchingly melodic solo make “Stairway To Heaven” a great study on the playing style of the legendary Jimmy Page.
The main solo in “Stairway To Heaven” is thought by many to be Jimmy Page’s finest moment. You can now learn it note-for-note at your own pace.

In this installment of the “Lick Of The Week” video guitar lesson series, we will take a look at a really cool and fun tapping lick in the style of Kirk Hammett and Steve Vai.
Kirk Hammett’s solo in “One” by Metallica uses this kind of tapping lick to build a lot of tension and excitement.
Feel free to do the pick hand tap with whatever finger you are the most comfortable with. You don’t have to use the same finger or tapping direction that I use, it will work just fine either way.
Pay close attention to how you should finger the notes with the fret hand because that can make or break how easily you add this kind of lick to your playing.
Watch the video below for a thorough explanation of the technique. The video lesson not only describes how to play the lick but also how to create your own licks using this tapping technique.

In this video guitar lesson I will show you a nice little etude that you can play that will drastically improve your ability to cross strings while alternate picking.
This video should be watched by every level of guitar player because even if you are new to this technique, you can still play through it very slowly to develop proper alternate picking technique.
The ability to cross strings fluently is by far the most difficult aspect of alternate picking. In this video lesson I demonstrate the only two ways it is possible to move from one string to another while alternate picking, and how to practice them.
These are exercises used by players such as John Pertrucci, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, Alexi Laiho and others to develop their phenomenal picking technique.
At the end of the lesson we will put both techniques together for a nice well rounded picking workout.
Download the TAB PDF below because you will definitely need it to follow along with the lesson.
Take your time and keep your picking hand wrist and forearm relaxed while practicing these exercises. It would be great to go through them at least once a day to really keep your alternate picking chops in shape!
Have Fun!!
