New News: This update, 11/09/1999, brings you beginners a bonanza of bodacious bounty in Guitar Basics. You players who consider yourselves more than mere beginners will have to chew on the old stuff for a few days at least. Oh well, you can always use that time to practice the stuff you've already been given. And if that ain't enough, be sure to visit my friends at Tabcrawler to grab a bundle o' tunes. Be sure to tell 'em I sent ya. Oh, and here's a Free Guitar Tuner. It's not a lot, but it's free.

Chord Camp #10: Chord Camp #9 focused on 3 dominant chord shapes. When I say dominant, I mean that those chords at least implied the formula 1-3-5-b7. To review the chords introduced in Chord Camp #9, you'll need to go to the Chord Camp Archives. With this update, I want to introduce you to 3 more dominant (1-3-5-b7) chord shapes. In the last "Chord Camp" we played around with A dominant shapes. In this lesson we'll focus on some shapes that work well as cool D dominant chord type things. These three note chords should work well anytime you encounter a D7. Especially, when that D7 is carried for one or more measures. Here's an example to follow if you don't exactly see where I'm comin' from. It's called "D Dominant Way to Play." The first two bars give the count. Click to see the progression played in "D Dominant Way to Play."

D7 3 note chord
D9 3 note chord

Beginner's Luck #3: Here's the something for any beginning guitarists out there who want something cool to play. Listen to the Real Audio file, 'Beginner's Blues', to get a feel for what you're in for. If you don't know how to read tab, go to Guitar Basics to learn. To get yourself up to speed on this lesson series, visit the Beginner's Luck archives. And, finally, to get started on this lesson you need to go to Beginner's Luck #3. Sorry, I couldn't include it here, but it is a graphics heavy page.

Lesson Archives: I've organized past "front page" articles into separate pages. Here they are: More on Modes, Beginner's Luck, Chord Camp. Make your selection, drop the mouse, and grab a pick cause it's time to practice. Enjoy thesis help for PhD experts!

Great Bass Guitar Music Alert: Check out the Jaco Pastorius tune at http://www.jazzpromo.com. It's well worth the trip. For more mp3 links visit http://www.daddydoodle.com/mp3guide.htm.

Country licks are in demand. Roger's the latest reader to ask for 'em, so click here to get to 'em. Listen to Country Lick #1 or Country Lick #2 to see if you want to learn them.

PC Practice Tip #1: To use your PC as a practice amp/recorder connect a mini plug adapter to a guitar chord, then plug that adapter into the line input of your sound card. Most sound cards are equipped with a line input. If this is not your case then check for a mic input. If you're in Windows you should have all the software tools you need to get started. First off, call up the Volume Control app, ensure that the line-in mute is not turned on and that the volume is up about halfway. Strum your electric guitar to check and see if you can hear it through your computer speakers. Then start up the Sound Recorder. The Sound Recorder can be found under Start/Accessories/Entertainment in Win98 as can the Volume Control. In Win 95 the Sound Recorder and Volume Control are normally found under Start/Accessories/Multimedia. Start up the Sound Recorder, push record and you're in business. Now you can record a chord or a chord progression to practice your soloing. You can also play and record your favorite licks.

Playing Lead: If you're an intermediate player slide (pun, please) on over to the "Scales" link on the menu to your left. Click here to listen to a tune we call "12 Bar Em Blues." Original, huh. Anyway, I've got the thing tabbed and ready for your inspection. Go for it.

Please feel free to inject your input if you see anything that confuses, confounds, or frustrates. I'll be listening.

Peace,
