Easy Way To Learn Guitar Fretboard

Well it is possible but there are 2 sets of skills you have to master. Easy Way To Learn Guitar FretboardOne is learning technique and the other is learning how to play over a chord progression. Other than that, there is no way around it.

The first step to learn lead guitar without scales is to be familiar with techniques. What are they? It encompasses all skills necessary for guitar solo performance. When we talk about technique, we are basically referring to skills like string bend, bend/release, natural harmonic, pinch harmonic, hammer-on, pull off, picking, right hand tapping, two handed tapping, tremolo picking, sweep picking, slide, vibrato, palm muting and others. These are basic skills which you can easily pick up by reading information online.

Another set of skills you have to learn is how to play over a chord progression. This is where many beginners go awfully wrong. They are often not shown the proper way to progress over chords. While they know how to use the right notes, they do not really know about progression. Playing each scale up and down repeatedly is definitely not considered as a "solo" act.

It all boils down to the music theory that beginners are taught. There is always a misperception that scales and chords are 2 entirely different entities. That is a huge myth! The answer to "how can one play over a chord progression" lies in simply playing the notes in the chord. Melodic solos consist of steps (not the entire scale) and leaps (skipping steps). Having a good understanding of this will make it clear why you can learn lead guitar without scales at all.

Now when you play chord tones through a progression, you will pick a tone for each and then decorate it by playing before and after. In this way, the lines are connected. As for non-chord tones, play it in a CAGED design or shape. Basically, all major scales can be easily broken down into 5 shapes on the fretboard. This lets you visualize better and able to perform the notes around tones.

As a start, you may want to play the root notes of a chord progression, followed by thirds and fifths. A good mix of tones which are blended with notes will set the stage for a cool melodic solo. Now you are in a better shape to play lead guitar without scales!

Guyatone Ultrem Optical Tremolo Effects Pedal $425 With optical circuitry based on the classic amp tremolo circuits of yesteryear, the Ultrem Optical Tremolo takes the tone of those legendary units and adds a variety of new and useful control features that set it apart from any other stompbox on the market. Several types of tremolo and volume effects are available with the Ultrem, including oscillator-controlled tremolo and manually controlled volume. Rate of the tremolo can be controlled via tap tempo, the unit ' s front-mounted speed control, or an optional expression pedal. Dual outputs allow panning of the tremolo effect between two amps or for use as an amp selector/blender in manual volume mode. Depth and Saturation controls allow for precise control of the degree and tonality of the effect as well as for use as a great-sounding overdrive unit when the oscillator is disengaged. At the heart of the Ultrem is Guyatone ' s proprietary CPU controller, which allows for quick selection of the Ultrem ' s primary effect function. Six effect modes are easily accessible from the unit ' s front panel, and each effect mode features a sub-mode that can be accessed with a quick press of the control footswitch. If that isn ' t enough, the last two modes also feature bonus modes that allow for manual selection of the oscillator waveform via an external expression pedal. The six effect modes are as follows: Wave tap —functions as an oscillator-controlled tremolo with rate determined by tap tempo function of control footswitch Momentary wave — functions as an oscillator-controlled tremolo when control switch is depressed and held — releasing switch disengages the effect. Rate is determined by unit ' s speed control Pedal volume/wave - main mode varies output volume using the optional expression pedal or functions as an oscillator-controlled tremolo in sub-mode. If set to pan on, Ultrem can function as an amp selector/blender in main mode Pedal depth & wave tap - allows user to vary the depth of the effect by using an optional expression pedal, and also to adjust speed of wave tremolo by tapping tempo, instead of using pre-set controls Pedal speed 1/touch — main mode varies the speed of the wave form oscillation with the optional expression pedal over a range of 70-1000 ms. In sub mode the unit functions as standard tremolo Pedal speed 2/touch — main mode varies the speed of the wave form oscillation with the optional expression pedal over a range of 70-4000 ms. In sub mode the unit functions as standard tremolo By using these different effect modes, you can achieve a limitless variety of tremolo and volume effects that can all be toggled through and tweaked in real time. The Ultrem ' s CPU also offers six selectable waveforms when the unit is used in the oscillator-controlled

ZVex Hand-Painted Tremolo Probe Guitar Effects Pedal $319 The Tremolo Probe from ZVex is basically a cross between a theremin volume control and a ZVex Super Hard-On preamp pedal, giving you responsive, realtime control over the effect.At the he heart of the Tremolo Probe pedal is a Super Hard-On circuit combined with a probe controller circuit that ZVex developed. You can tap on this pedal with your foot to make lovely tremolo sounds that are in time with your foot's movement, syncing perfectly to your performance or the band's tempo changes. You can also use the Tremolo Probe to make reverse-sounding volume swells or pedal-steel type volume effects.How does it work?A copper antenna projects a field of RF energy that is affected by your foot (or other appendage), altering the circuit that generates it, increasing the brightness of the pedal's LED and controlling the master volume of the output. A knob on the back of the Tremolo Probe lets you set the drive, distorting in an interesting way when cranked.Note: Due to the nature of each hand-painted Tremolo Probe pedal, there may be a slight difference in design from the posted image.Theremin-like control over the effect with your footCombines a ZVex Super Hard-On circuit with the probe controllerLED provides a visual reference of the pedal's operation
