Ok, I think that now is the right time for me to show you my entry for the nowadays popular “Blue Noize Guitar Solo Competition” about which I wrote about a month ago! As you see, I really know to keep my promises. First of all – it was very interesting for me to watch and analyze what other competitors submitted – I found that there were really many beautiful, tasty solos which were played by really professional guitarists... 

These days I was surfing some of my favorite guitar blogs and found something really interesting which now I’d like to share with you, my dear readers! In this post a guitar competition launched by Guitar Noize will be discussed. And why I am so excited about this competition? It’s because I decided to take part in it.

So here it is, another pentatonic phrase which you can use in your guitar solo! It’s very easy to play because it includes only the notes from the pentatonic itself, no other notes, bends, vibrato or something else. I am sure that after practicing it for about 20 minutes every newbie will be able to play it, just let me remind that the key to a quality playing is to practice everything in a slow tempo. I would also advise you to try to compose... 

This is the first pentatonic phrase I have ever learned, by that time I was so happy that I continued playing it half of the day and only after six hours of practicing I could play in the right tempo. As you already have observed from the video – the faster you will play it, the better it will sound and the more pleasure you and your listeners will get. The slow tempo of this pentatonic phrase sounds boring and is good only for practicing and... 

I remember the days when I listened for the first time the song Thunderstruck by Ac/Dc, several minutes after I was already with guitar in my hands trying to play the main theme. My father (likes classic rock music) also listened to the song and said that for this time I will have to work hard in order to learn to play it, but if I manage to do it he will buy me a new set of strings. So, there was a big interest for me to learn to play the song Thunderstruck... 

I’m very happy that today I have some free time to say “hello” again to the online guitar community and to all the readers of my blog. During the last three weeks I had big changes in my life and the most important one is that “I GOT MARRIED”. I also moved to another apartment and spent two weeks at the sea shore… the worst thing was that the wi-fi internet in the hotel I lived was 6$ per hour – at first I...

So, today we gonna talk about the Dunlop Fuzz Face guitar effects pedal. First of all, I would like to mention the official Jim Dunlop web page where you can find lots of other information about their products, and the official page of Fuzz Face itself – it’s... 

I remember the times when I was 14 years old, I was playing guitar about eight hours a day, my list of friendly musicians was always growing, I was playing guitar even at school with some classmates. I was totally happy with the way I was living – but there was something which I couldn’t find enough in my city! Those were the video tapes with professional lessons of famous guitarists. There were only two musical shops in my city, so –...
