Learn To Play: Eddies Yard

What’s it about?

Old-school 80s rock guitar gets the modern songwriting treatment in this JTC debut made for seasoned shredders looking to make the next step in their progression.

The melodic hooks, acrobatic licks and juicy riffs are broken down in detail with over 3.5 hours of note-for-note lessons. Every layer of the track is also played slowly so you can focus on the nuances of the challenge at hand.

When you’re ready the track awaits. A four-minute Kotzen-come-Howe hybrid that’s oozing with extra special rock-fusion soloing sauce.

What will I learn?

A gargantuan modern rock song packed with vintage flavours. Going note for note will help you build stamina as you translate skills into longer licks and riffs.

You will learn how to apply Lydian dominant and altered scales, as well as a cocktail of complex harmonic spice and madcap Mixolydian fireworks. On the simpler side of the coin, you’ll tap into bluesy essentials and pentatonic phrases; must-knows for both rhythm and lead guitar.

But most of all you’ll learn what goes into a song. As you rip apart the moments of every layer, you’ll begin to understand how sophisticated songwriting ideas can combine with techniques such as tapping, legato, alternate picking and more.
