Playing lead guitar is very exciting and can be so much fun if you know how to do it. The guitar is a fantastic lead instrument and who doesn't like a proper guitar solo right?<br /><br />There are a number of things you could do to improve your <span style="font-weight: bold;">lead guitar playing</span> and if you're just starting out you can get a <a href="http://leadguitarzero2hero.com/members/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">free quick start guide</span></a> on this page by entering your name and email address in the box underneath the red arrows.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hzdSDYnam5M/SogOXSalgVI/AAAAAAAAACY/3Np0lBNf2iY/s1600-h/3.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 108px; height: 50px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hzdSDYnam5M/SogOXSalgVI/AAAAAAAAACY/3Np0lBNf2iY/s200/3.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370558348882444626" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In the series of free video lessons we cover topics such as articulation, scale and note choices, phrasing along with some sample licks, solos and a backing track to jam over.<br /><br />Let me explain. Articulation refers to how you sound your notes. You can of course play the note by picking it straight away but there are a number of other options available to you. Slide into it, hammer on or pull off to the note from a previous note, bend into a note and add some vibrato for vibe. Once you start exploring these various articulation techniques you'll start sounding a lot more convincing and you're on your way to becoming a guitar hero!<br /><br />Playing <span style="font-style: italic;">lead guitar</span> requires you to have a good knowledge of scales and note choices so it's not surprising at all that being a good rhythm guitarist and understanding chords and chord tones will greatly benefit you as a lead guitarist. After all the notes you play need to make sense with the chords they're being played over!<br /><br />So how do you develop phrasing? Simple. Learn some of the licks and solo's of the guys who can. That's how they learnt and if it's worked for them it surely has to work for you.<br /><br />We have a number of typical licks and phrases for you to get your teeth stuck into in our <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://leadguitarzero2hero.com/members/">free quick start lead guitar guide</a> along with many resources in terms of scales, arpeggios and backing tracks.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hzdSDYnam5M/SogX-ZSmBoI/AAAAAAAAACw/cDYfUl4gT_A/s1600-h/231577_2828.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 120px; height: 90px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hzdSDYnam5M/SogX-ZSmBoI/AAAAAAAAACw/cDYfUl4gT_A/s200/231577_2828.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370568916347520642" border="0" /></a><br />Don't be alarmed by the amount of work involved.
