Hello again!\u00a0 This week I have finally gotten around to transcribing and teaching the intro to my viral video, “5 Tricks To Make People Think You Are Amazing At Guitar,” for which I have been getting a ton of requests over the years.<\/p>\n
Here it is.\u00a0 5 Tricks to Make People Think You Are Amazing – Guitar Tab (CLICK HERE)<\/a><\/p>\n Before you get started, detune your guitar to Eb440, meaning each string will be down one half step from standard pitch.<\/p>\n This little ditty starts with a volume swell and a harmonic on the large E string at fret 12. From there, I move into the E mixolydian scale playing some counterpoint lines, a technique I learned from playing Bach Partitas. Then I move into the F#madd9 arpeggio followed by an E major arpeggio then a quick move to an F# bass note ala Eric Johnson while holding the minor 3rd above on the little Estring. I do that same idea again down in C# (C#madd9 arp. followed by a Bmajor arp.), and then I move to some bluesy licks in C#m before ascending up an F# half whole diminished scale. Immediately after this, I descend down an F#m7b5 arpeggio using hybrid picking. I finished off this section with an E major arpeggio with a right hand tap at fret 19 using my middle finger.<\/p>\n I go into more detail on the video regarding the theory behind what I was thinking, but if you really want to understand how this stuff works, I suggest a lesson with me or someone else that is knowledgable in advanced harmony.<\/p>\n This piece is fun and fairly easy once you get the scales under your fingers.<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\nTab For Intro To 5 Tricks<\/a>\n
