New video & "Spy Photo" of Lead Guitar Secrets!
Hi folks,
Yesterday I finally got my hands on the finished course and it looks awesome! Here's a "spy photo"...
(Obviously, this is a pretty bad picture. I just tossed everything on my floor & took a quick snapshot.) As you can see, there are a total of 6 disks. From left-to-right you have: DVDs 1-4, the audio CD and the CD-ROM tutorial (far right).
The book is beautiful. The printer did an excellent job. The cover is really glossy and it's printed on a heavy card stock (so it will last!). I had them use the spiral coil because it's easy to lay the book out flat. It's 200 pages with 188 musical examples!
Yes. It took me a very long time to finish. Just ask my wife. :-)
About today's lesson: This video is on "Practicing Tips" and comes directly from DVD 2. I give you three examples of how to practice your scales using three different rhythmic patterns. I've provided the tab for you so you can see exactly what I'm playing.
Right-click here and choose, "Save As..." to download the tab for this video lesson.
Here's the video from DVD 2:
Note: This video requires the free Adobe flash plug-in.
Hope you enjoy this lesson. If so, please post your comments/questions below.
Cheers!

P.S. We are just barely over a week from the release of Lead Guitar Secrets (Friday, July 20). And things are really starting to heat up!

There will be 1,000 initial copies available. (I ordered twice as much as I did when I released Blues Guitar Secrets last year). There will be several time-sensitive bonuses for the first few people who order.And it won't be the usual crap that you can get free on the internet...
I haven't finished them just yet. But I'm almost certain that several of the bonuses will be videos that I create specifically for the release of the new course. So, if you're interested, you should probably sign up for priority notification.
P.P.S. There currently 200+ entries for the Fender Strat contest. If you have entered, and you'd like to do so, please make sure enter by July 20.

Hi! Dan,
Very enjoyable course demo.
Can I ask you if it is easier to play if the strngs are closer to the fret board,ie; the adjuster nut it altered to bring down the string height to make it faster to play?
Thanks a million,

Tom & Rich... thanks for point that out! I think it's fixed now.

Stan,
Yes. When the string is closer to fretboard, it's easier to press down. Shedders always get the strings as close to the fretboard as possible without a "buzz."
However, having the string a little higher make it easier to do string bends because your finger can get under the string easier.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Dan

OK, the links are fixed. Sorry about that!

Dan,
Thanks for the lesson. I'm curious, why are you using the 3 5 7 fingering instead of the one finger per fret (3 5/2 3 5/2 4 5...)?

Hey Dan
Thanks for the preview and the lesson. I always find your lessons a pleasure to follow. How much will the Lead Guitar Course cost. I am in South Africa and the rand/dolar exchange rate is an important consideration

Dear Dan,
Still ploughing through on a daily
basis your Blues Guitar Secrets Course. Probably the best tutorial
available anywhere on the planet. No pressure to learn no exams to take, learn at your own pace, a superb way to learn. How much is is your, 'Lead Guitar Course?' Are you still deciding how much to charge?

dberman,
I using the 3-5-7 fingering because I think it's a little easier to understand. Mainly, because later in the video when I teach Locrian mode (not shown here) I don't want people getting confused as to which mode they are playing. Because there's only one note (F#) difference between G Ionian (using the 3, 5, 2 fingering) and F# Locrian.

Hi Malcom,
This is THE question on EVERYBODY'S mind (including mine).
My Amazing Guitar Secrets course is $129. Blues Guitar Secrets is $159. I know of only one other course (LearnAndMasterTheGuitar.com) by Steve Krenz that is comparable and it sells for $249 list (but you can usually pick it up for $199).
Anyway, I'm just not sure what the price is going to be. There's 7 hours of DVD video, 1 Audio CD with 99 track (49 full-band), 1 CD-ROM tutorial with an additional hour's worth of video. And I'm in the process of creating several bonuses which will probably end up being about another 2-3 hours of video.
And all of this is specifically for learning lead guitar techniques of all styles.
So, I just don't know, yet. If you (or anyone else) has any suggestion on what you think is a fair price, by all means, please let me know!
I do know this: I'm going to offer a introductory discount to anyone who order the first week it's available: July 20-27. And AGS/BGS customers will receive a special discount for being customers. :-)
Cheers!
Dan

Dan,
Thanks for all of the info on all of your courses. Unfortunately, I have not been able to take advantage of your offers due to being unemployed.( sucks for me!!) But I hope you will continue to send me e-mails so I can stay aware of what you have. When things get going, I plan on purchasing everything you have as I have watched your demos and am impressed.

Hi Dan,
I love the work you do and was having thoughts about your new lead guitar secrets. As i have your amazing guitar secrets course I was amazed at the lessons and was wondering whether this new course has any metal related shred lead lessons.
May I also recommend you create a new metal course \m/ including leads, arpeggios, sweep picking, string skipping, metal runs and other metal advanced techniques and how to create solos from them.
If you do create this, it will be my Guitar Bible and I know that many will also follow me in buying in this bible.

Hey Dan,
Before I get into why I need the Fender and how the Lead Guitar Secrets Course would help me, I thought I might tell a little about myself. I first became interested in guitar when I was 11 or 12. My sister got a guitar for Christmas and when I got a hold of it, I thought, "This is cool." I wanted to learn to play. So Mom and Dad signed me up for guitar lessons. I went for about a month, then one day my mom dropped me off for the lessons and when I went to the door there was a note that read "Closed.....moved out of town." I went to the gift shop next door to call Mom to come get me. She said, "You quit already?" I said, "No...he did." Nobody else in town taught. That was about 33 years ago. I've always had that yearn to learn guitar inside me. About 9 years ago, 3 kids and 21 years of marriage later, I decided to purchase a guitar and learn to play. I've been playing on my own, learning from books and internet. I am pretty good at strumming along on country songs and can play a few rock songs I've learned. I'll probably never play in a band but boy would I love to. I do love playing with a passion. I just don't have the thorough understanding of scales and crazy chords. I've looked at several different courses for years now, but didn't want to put that kind of money down on a course that just wasn't going to give me the thorough hands on training I needed. I don't remeber when I actually found your site but I do know that ever since then you have sent me more helpful information, emails and videos then all the others combined. You didn't give up on me even though I never purchased a thing from you. It comes in like clockwork, rain or shine. When I saw that you had the Amazing Guitar Secrets Course on sale and with free shipping to the first few customers I just couldn't pass it up. It arrived July 7th just in time for my 45th birthday. First I watched the DVD's completely and I believe this course is everything I need to get going. I'm currently working on the scales chapter of the first DVD and plan to take the course slowly.....letting everything sink in. Now why would I need the Lead Guitar Secrets Course? I really hope when I get through with this course, I won't need it....but I guarantee if I'm as pleased with this course as I think I'm going to be, I probably won't we able to stop myself from purchasing the new course. The Fender guitar, WOW, what else can I say. How nice it would be play a real guitar.
Thanks alot Dan,
Dariel

hi Guru..
I've already learned the major,minor and some of the pentatonic scales and I realized that it's important to memorize the position.is it true then if it's possible can u mail me about relative major and minor chords and it's position on fret.
I found year style better on video.

Hi dan.,
Your videos are trully amazing.,I teach guitar too and i use some of your videos as a medium.thanks

Hi, thanks for the ways to practice scales. I bought the Amazing Guitar Secrets and other videos from you.
They have helped me very much. I took Beginner Guitar from a teacher with 6 students in my class. Then I bought guitar videos, DVDS and studied on the internet too. I am coming along now. I know chords in first position. A minor Pentatonic and blues scale. I am learning more on this. I know some chord progressions and solo over it. I recorded the rhythm and played along with it. Fun. I am enjoying acoustic guitar my neighbor gave me a year ago.
Thanks again.
