Posted by Ahsanul Haque | 2010-02-04 00:15:59.052513 Here's a little chromatic exercise to free up your fingers. Included media contain the tab and a MIDI sample. It has a slight Flight of the Bumblebee feel to it when you play it fast enough(at around 200 BPM). Posted by Ahsanul Haque | 2010-02-03 22:54:33.538586 Musicians, like people from every walk of life, hit a brick wall or two once in a while; this is when they think of giving up. Now, to lump all musicians into a single group can be crude. Every musician has their own set of goals and objectives. Some want to play that latest Mily Cirus song for fun, some want to write songs, some want to be the next Van Halen, yet some just want to rock out in their showers. That being said, at some point people do feel like giving up.

Most of these chords will be familiar to you, but the stranger ones, and some of their transitions will be very foreign. In this shed post we're going to teach you how to practice these chords so you can play them. |

We’re going to do this one a little differently. I was trying to figure out how to pull it off so we’ll just keep it loose and see how it turns out.
What we want to do is make a “perpetual guitar duel”. The theme will be Caleb battling the Wizard Zed in a blues style. Imagine Caleb has entered the Wizard’s chambers and killed nearly everyone in his path. Now him and Zed fight to the death.
