FULL COURSE: bit.ly More Guitar Lessons: bit.ly Kings of Tone examines twelve masters of tone revealing their gear and effects formulas (and how you can emulate same with your own gear) along with their singular approaches to “touch” and stylistic phrasing. While our quest is ultimately about finding our own “voice” and signature sound, we must first study the masters, just as they studied those who came before them. Kings of Tone dissects the styles, touch, tones, amps, pedals, guitars and setups of Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Dickey Betts, Duane Allman, The Edge, Angus Young, David Gilmour, Keith Richards and Mark Knophler. Your Professor of Tone is NYC session player and educator Jeff McErlain, whose standing-room-only workshops on the subject testify to his expertise stemming from years of tone exploration. “I hope to demystify the tonal qualities of these twelve players by sharing the insight I’ve gained over many years studying them and deconstructing their styles, touch and rigs.”

www.creativeguitarstudio.comAndrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question… Q: Hello Andrew, I just watched your video lesson on Open String Blues — thanks for that and for all of your videos, I really appreciate them. Right now, I like the blues, but I’m kind of new to it so I don’t know too much about the details yet. Can you possibly do a video all about the 8-bar blues? I know the 12-bar blues because my last guitar teacher covered it before summer holidays. I really hope you’ll do this video for me, because my parents don’t have the money to keep me in guitar lessons come September. – Skip, Salt Lake UTAH A: Thanks for writing in Skip, for a lot of guitar players after they learn the basic 12-bar blues they will often shift gears toward other aspects of blues without looking into the 8 or also popular 16-bar blues. In this video lesson, we’ll examine the 8 bar, but down the road we should also look at the 16 bar blues as well. Because, in playing blues especially in a club band the ever so popular 12 bar blues can really be augmented with a switch during the band’s set over to the 8 bar format. It adds harmonic variety, it lends itself differently to lyrics and most importantly — it’s the 2nd most common song form in Blues! The complete lesson article for this video will be available on the Creative Guitar Studio website shortly.
