Show notes

Website: https://tunein-toneup.com/ Post: https://tunein-toneup.com/2017/11/11/guitar-lesson-23-arranging-songs-prince-foo-police/ In guitar lesson 23, I ask Dan to give me some pointers on how to arrange songs for a three piece band, with a particular focus on some tunes I want to play with some friends. First, Dan shows me some ideas for Times Like These by the Foo Fighters to increase the interest in the rhythm playing so that it works well with the melody. He also gives me some thoughts about dynamics and harmonising the chorus. Next we look at Message in Bottle and how to augment the famous riff with a second guitar part. Finally, Dan takes me through his arrangement of Purple Rain which has some chimey chords and licks. We finish with the solo.

Following this Dan takes us through a range of warm-ups and exercises which you can use. In the second part of this lesson we look at some ways you might put together a practice schedule in order to gain the most benefit from your time.

Guitar Lesson 21: The style and technique of Steve Lukather Oct 27, 2017

Website: https://tunein-toneup.com/ Dedicated post: https://tunein-toneup.com/2017/10/27/guitar-lesson-21-style-technique-steve-lukather/ Backing track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1xhSg-_oa8 This episode of our podcast, guitar lesson 21, is an introduction to the style of Steve Lukather - session guitarist extraordinaire and virtuoso. In it we examine his note choice, techniques and approach to the guitar. This lesson is being released as one whole lesson as we felt that it fitted together better this way. It begins with Dan's improvisation over the YouTube backing track, which we found to use as the basis for this lesson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1xhSg-_oa8). The lesson then starts proper with a background discussion of Lukather's playing and session work. Next Dan breaks down some of the techniques and ideas which he employed in his imrovisation. Finally, it ends with a jam in which we both take it in turns to improvise over the backing track.

Guitar Lesson 20: Advice on setting up a small pedal board Sep 30, 2017

Show notes

Website: https://tunein-toneup.com/ Post: https://tunein-toneup.com/2017/09/30/guitar-lesson-20-setting-up-small-pedalboard-tips-and-advice/ In guitar lesson 20, I take a set of pedals (which a friend has kindly lent me) around to Dan's house to ask for his advice on how to use them. Dan chooses to part with his Pedal Train Nano + and CIOKS 'Adam' power supply and then helps me to set up this small pedal board. As we put together my mini-board, Dan shares lots of tips and things to consider when doing this which we now share with you. In summary, Dan's tips are: Put together the board which suits you - don't go all out on a huge pedal board if you need to carry your pedal board by public transport to each gig. Start small and build it up from there. Pre-plan everything. Consider a switching system. Careful how you wire in your pedals and make sure that the pedals will be compatible and not draw too much power. Lots of options to look at for cabling. Consider this carefully. Plan your board so everything fits and you have got room for all the wiring. Think about which pedals you need greatest access to and what the order of the pedals is. Don't buy a poor power supply and be prepared to pay a little more for one which will run your pedals well and avoid unwanted noise. iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/guitar-lessons-tune-in-tone-up-podcast/id1187509288?mt=2 Further research and help: https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/The_Premier_Guitar_Pedalboard_Survival_Guide http://www.guitarworld.com/video-guitar-worlds-guide-building-pedal-board

Guitar lesson 17b - soloing techniques and tips on dynamics for acoustic guitar Aug 01, 2017

Show notes

In the second part of our lesson about playing acoustic guitar, Dan answers my question about how best to develop dynamics in an acoustic band. Clearly much of this is down to good communication and familiarity with the people who you are playing with, but Dan comes up with some really interesting techniques and advice for being heard when soloing and having interesting dynamics for your audience.

Guitar Lesson 17a - Playing effective rhythm on acoustic guitar Jul 24, 2017

Show notes

YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC80JJZ1RRZ5bxEiphLVi_Jw Website: https://tunein-toneup.com Dedicated post: https://tunein-toneup.com/2017/07/24/guitar-lesson-17a-playing-acoustic-guitar-with-rhythmic-tricks/ In this lesson Dan and I look at the topic of playing acoustic guitar. In particular, Dan comes at this topic from the perspective of viewing the acoustic guitar as an entirely different instrument to an electric and then from this how to play rhythm to the strength of the acoustic instrument. Our next podcast – 17b – will tackle the question I ask of Dan which is how to add dynamics and include a punchy solo when playing in a group setting. The last thing you want is to get to the solo and require a massive volume decrease from everyone in order to be heard. 5 mins 40 – Dan has just explained how he views the acoustic as a different instrument to the electric guitar and at this point introduces his aim for the next section where he hopes to have a look at some of the main things which people do, how these can be improved and some techniques which may be employed. 8 mins 15 – start to consider what differences there may be between an acoustic player and an electric guitar player over a simple chord progression: [Em – C – G – D]. An electric guitarist will most likely sit back on his sustain and his gain and if he’s just rocking out to it he may simplify the chords to power chords (otherwise known as 5 chords – e.g. the root and the 5th only, missing out the 3rd which denotes whether the chord is a major or a minor). 10 mins 25 – Dan shows how this kind of electric guitar line, translated directly over to the acoustic guitar might sound and then asks what we can do to improve this playing. 10 mins 45 – First suggestion from Dan is to play the full chords (12 mins 40 secs). 13 mins 15 – Second suggestion is to arpeggiate the chord and break it into notes. 14 mins – after struggling to get in speed on the picking pattern with my right hand for this arpeggiated version, I change to using fingerstyle. Dan picks up on this and how it changes the sound and tone and so can become another variation to bear in mind when choosing how to play a progression. 14 mins 40 – getting dynamics between a driving chorus and an arpeggiated verse. 15 mins 50 – open strings and how on an acoustic it is good to aim to allow the open strings to ring. Also a demonstration on how this softens the tone at 16 mins 40 secs. 16 mins – a reminder to use a Capo in different keys. This can work really well with more than one guitar playing chords and one guitar can have the progression transposed for a set of open chords in one position while another guitar can use the Capo on a different fret and, as such, have some different inversions playing over each other. This can be very effective. 17 mins 5 secs – a swing feel to the same four chords. Piano-style, using the thumb on the bass notes and the other fingers to pluck the higher strings together. Slapping the strings percussively also works. 19 mins – some advice on how to insert some recordings of acoustic into an electric track. 19 mins 20 secs – extend the bassline to connect chords together. 22 mins 50 secs – extending chords in the right key; e.g. Em can become Em7, C can become a Cadd9, G can become a Gadd9 and D can be a D7sus4 25 mins – using a Capo to gain a 12 string effect. More on playing different inversions for two different guitar parts 27 mins 40 secs – using hammer ons and pull offs to different chord shapes to create some further rhythmic dynamics; alongside chords rephrased in different positions using the Capo. 28 mins 40 secs – revoicing the chords using the Capo at the 7th fret. The remainder of this podcast involved some hints and tips for playing dynamically with others and getting the most out of your alternate tunings. Keep listening for next week’s advice on soloing in an acoustic band.
