So in yesterday’s post<\/a> I was talking about increasing your skill and technique so that you can lean on it “in the head of battle” so to speak.<\/p>\n

Often in music, and particularly in blues music, technique almost becomes a dirty word. But if we are truly students of our instrument, we need to take it upon ourselves to always be increasing our technical ability as much as possible.<\/p>\n

So I was going to make today’s lesson… but something kind of fell in my lap and falls right into what we’re talking about right now…You may know my friend Dan Denley… if not you will in a moment… but he and I go back several years. One of the great things about the internet I guess… I’ve never met him in person but we talk on the phone and via email all the time and it’s amazing how well you get to know someone that way.<\/p>\n

Anyway, he recently did a series of videos in support of a new course he’s got coming out called “Ripfire Guitar.” I’ve seen the course… and it’s pretty awesome… but that’s not what we’re interested in today.<\/p>\n

The first video he did in the series is none other than a great video full of technique drills… one of which I hadn’t even seen before.<\/p>\n

Now I’m a technique junkie and I like playing fast (this video<\/a> might prove that) and so I really thought I had seen just about every possible permutation of notes on the fingerboard.<\/p>\n

Well.. about 6 minutes into this <\/a>video, I was proven wrong… you gotta love that.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I pulled some strings and got him to put the lessons back up again. You have to sign up for them, but I think you’ll find it’s worth it.<\/p>\n
