Tech-nique
-noun
"A way of carrying out a particular task, esp. the execution or performance of an artistic work or a scientific procedure."

Most lead guitar lessons focus on these common guitar playing techniques! Just try and think of a rock guitar solo that doesn't use some sort of string bending, legato style, or special effect...

Can you think of any?

Green Day doesn't count! But seriously, the guitar tricks in the lessons above are literally all over the place, especially in the world of lead guitar!

The guitar solo techniques you MUST know are:

Alternate Picking

How To Improve Your Alternate Picking is one of the most basic guitar solo techniques you should learn. Mastering this technique can potentially double your speed and accuracy. You DO want SPEED and ACCURACY, don't you!?

Hybrid Picking

Hybrid Picking For Guitar: Play Guitar Fast with this Right Hand Technique is built for speed! Once you master it you can discharge notes in blasts that are too fast for your guitar teacher to count and impress your parents so they don't regret paying for those lessons, the very lessons you don't have to take if you use this site for learning guitar!

Legato Guitar

He's still MY favorite character!

Legato Guitar Techniques: Keys to Understanding Guitar Terminology is defined in music as "smooth and flowing, without breaks between notes." You can use these tricks to smooth things out like a well placed segue in the television series Lost.

The Whammy Bar

Getting a "handle" on your Whammy Bar Tricks: Vibrato Bar Techniques and Tips will unlock many tricks which are not only inherently indigenous to "that classic electric guitar sound," but are ever-emerging into modern styles. It's the perfect tool for emulating your favorites '80's movie soundtrack!

"My philosophy behind developing your guitar solo technique, or ability to impress through flash and speed, is that the better you are at creating whatever you imagine, the more deeply and accurately you can channel musical ideas from within to the external realm (your audience)."
