Lead guitar videos revisited

Posted on | | No Comments

I was sorting out a file with some old links on it, and I found a Youtube video from Dan Denley’s Lead Guitar Secrets so I thought I may as well mention it again. After all the hype with the launch it has proved to be popular with guitar students as are all of Dan’s courses.
The course contains four DVDs: 7 hours of video instruction (170 individual video segments). Nearly all the video includes fretboard close-ups (many with two cameras: one on left-hand and one on right-hand). The DVDs are not region encoded. This means they can be played on any standard DVD player anywhere in the world, or on a computer (PC or MAC) that has a DVD drive and DVD player software.
DVD 1 Topics:
How to build finger strength, agility & picking speed
Pentatonic scale in all five positions & all keys
Connecting the five positions of the pentatonic scale
Horizontal & vertical fretboard movement
2 & 3 string ascending/descending patterns
3-string box positions of pentatonic scale
DVD 2 Topics:
Intro to major scale & the 7 modes
The 7 modes: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian
Solo licks 1-50
DVD 3 Topics:
You’ll learn 14-solos. Each solo was written to teach a specific solo technique: string-bends, common rhythmic patterns & licks, hammer-ons, pull-offs, alternate picking, slides, horizontal/vertical fretboard patterns, tone, etc. All the solos are explained in great detail, played at full-speed, then played again slowly. Each solo is accurately transcribed with tab & notation in the book.
DVD 4 Topics:
Rhythm guitar parts for 14-solos: explanation, instruction & fretboard close-ups
In depth study of how scales & chords relate
Understanding modal theory
Scale harmonization: what it is, how it works & why it’s important
Sale-chord relationships (how to choose the right scale for your solo)
