Content Inside :
The following article is designed to introduce a number of soloing techniques commonly used by guitarists. Technique can be seen as the physical skill needed to perform the ideas you have as a guitarist, and that is the aim of this article: to introduce you to techniques that may be uncharted, and to help develop creative ideas. With this in mind, gaining maximum speed with the materials presented here shouldn’t be the top priority. If you find you’re playing notes faster than you can think about the notes you’re playing, it might be an idea to take a step back and ensure that what’s coming out of the guitar resembles music. Throughout the article numerous examples are given to demonstrate possible uses of the given technique. Each example is given in the context of a chord or key, and these should be observed to help aid transposition of the ‘licks’ contained within. Learning a technique from a handful of licks may demonstrate the technique sufficiently, but using the technique to create your own lines will make it stick far more effectively. A quick word on the notation symbols used: The right-hand picking directions are shown where appropriate underneath the tablature lines. The squarer of the two symbols represents a downstroke, and somewhat confusingly, the downwards pointing symbol represents an up-stroke. With all the examples, a quick look at the notation will indicate the rhythmic groupings of the notes. This should help suggest the feel of the pieces and ensure the correct rhythmic approach. Alternate Picking : The simple idea behind alternate picking is that every down-stroke is followed by an up-stroke, and vice-versa. Legato : The legato technique (taken from the Italian term for ’smooth’) uses hammer-ons and pull-offs to produce a smooth, fluid style of playing. Tapping : The technique of right-hand tapping (aka ‘fretboard tapping’) involves using one or more fingers from the right-hand to sound notes on the fretboard by hammering on the note. Having tapped the note, the right-hand finger then releases the note (usually exposing a lower note fretted conventionally by the left-hand), typically with a slight downwards flick. Sweep Picking Sweep picking is a technique primarily used for playing arpeggios that cross adjacent strings, and therefore overcomes one of the difficulties of alternate picking: string crossing.
