Are you one of millions of guitar players who learned all of the basic guitar chords but don't know where to go next?
Are you looking to advance to creating your OWN melodies, instead of memorizing popular rock songs (other peoples' melodies)?
From: Christopher Manger
In-School College Guitar Student
Dear fellow guitar student,
So many guitarist quit learning and developing their skills after they learn all of the basic guitar chords. The crazy thing about this is that the life of a guitar player does not really begin until he learns far beyond just the basic open string chords. Think about it ... there really isn't much to strumming through a few chords and maintaining a basic rhythm is there?
After realizing this, many guitarist turn to learning scales or learning more advanced chords.
90% of them ditch their efforts.
The reality is, there isn't much practical use for scales if you don't have a complete knowledge of the musical spectrum. And learning more chords just adds to the confusion. So the life of the musician is reduced to simply memorizing cool songs. I think you and I both know what the problem with that is.
The problem is that there is no creative aspect involved.
A musician, like any artist, needs to be creative. Your creativity is crippled (if not completely deadened) if all you do is play chord progressions and memorized guitar riffs from your favorite songs.
Actual comments made on guitar forums by guitar students:
Yeah, so as the title says i've reached a stalemate with my playing... I'm not sure where to go from where i currently am, I can play relatively fast but not all that cleanly and the only scale i know is the minor pentatonic scale.. I play mainly metal/rock style of music..im not sure where to go from where i am so any help would be appreciated.. suggest any good scales to use or whatever... as i said i have no idea where to go from where i am now. Thanks.

I've been playing guitar for about a year and a half now. I have most of the techniques such as tremelo picking, pinch harmonics, etc.(even pick sweeping: im horrble at it but i have the general idea down and I am about to give up. Mostly it's because of scales. I don't understand ANY of that crap. I've gone to like a million websites, had a friend help me(although all he did was give me a scale book and told me to look at it) and watched a ton of videos that people have told me will make it easier and I don't understand any of it. It's ****ing depressing me. I want to be a great guitarist but I can barely even get the pentatonics down(and that's only because someone told me i used it a lot after jamming with me). So I guess I'm just gonna quit guitar.

Im not really one of the speed freaks, im more of a rythym guitarists, I would much rather prefer a melodic solo to a shred solo. I've been learning for about a year and a half and at first, self taught. I made the horrible mistake of not learning the basic chords and scales before attempting to play any songs, however I still carried on and my techniques improved. Now this is where it starts getting bad, where I didnt learn any scales or chords I find writing music hard, of course I've gone back to learn some basic scales and chords but I just dont know where to go from there. I dont really want to be able to shred, I just want to make some good catchy hooks but I dont really know what to learn to be able to do it. Can anybody suggest some scales and some chords to aid me?

I've been playing the guitar for about a year and have finished both books of Jamorama (if anyone has used that) and can play a handful of my favorite songs. I don't feel like I've been getting any better recently and I think its partly because I don't really have any specific direction or goals right now. I feel like its not very beneficial to just play and learn new random songs but I'm not sure what else to do, outside of getting lessons that is. Basically, I'm very dedicated to playing and try to play for a couple hours per day. I think I have some talent and musicality and might have potential to be a musician one day. I'm just not sure what to do next.

Okay here's the deal, I've been playing since January but I'm not sure where or how to take my guitar playing to the next level. I want to become more serious with my guitar playing so i can start making my own music but i have NO direction what so ever (sadly). I know a good number of chords and I know a bit about scales. but other than that I have nothing. I'm at a complete road block with my playing.

Creating your own melodies - the only way to get in touch with your creative side
It's like sitting in the back seat to learn how to drive. If you want to learn how to drive, you need to first be in the front seat.
The principle is the same with guitar: If you want to be creative, you have to play creatively!
But the question must be asked: how can you play creatively without going to music school and spending 6-8 hours per day learning intricate concepts like key signatures, diatonic and pentatonic patterns, octaves, semitones and forms of musical notation?
The solution is simple!
Like many other guitarists before me, I've found the quick route which uses all of the advanced concepts you would learn in musical school, but doesn't require any real understanding of them whatsoever to create your own unique melodies.
To go along with the car analogy, it's like driving an automatic to get from point A to point B without having to understand this chart:
Let me explain ...
Most guitarists who know how to play a few basic chords don't really know what they are playing. Despite the popular notion, they are not playing a whole bunch of notes together because they happened to sound good together, but they are playing particular notes in scales because musicians over centuries have discovered patterns of notes in scales that harmonize with each other.
So what?
Well, the two critical pieces of information here are that chords themselves are essential pieces of scales, and that you know how to play them. This means that you can play scales (and create melodies from them), just by using the basic chords that you already know. It's that simple.
But how can we learn to play those notes in chords to produce melodies?
The answer is to learn how to create and follow musical patterns using arpeggios.
In music, arpeggios are notes taken from within chords. For a deeper explanation of arpeggio, consider this excerpt from Wikipedia, the free online dictionary:
An arpeggio is a group of notes which are played one after the other, either going up or going down. Executing an arpeggio requires the player to play the sounds of a chord individually to differentiate the notes. The notes all belong to one chord. The chord may, for example, be a simple chord with the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of the scale in it (this is called a "tonic chord"). An arpeggio in the key of C major going up two octaves would be the notes (C, E, G, C, E, G, C). An arpeggio is a type of broken chord. Other types of broken chords play chord notes out of sequence or more than one note but less than the full chord simultaneously. Arpeggios can rise or fall for more than one octave.
If you find the above explanation even the least bit confusing, do not worry. This guide is designed for the musicaly illiterate. Knowing how to play a guitar chord is pretty much the only pre-requisite required to adequetly comprehend the contents of this guide. The author of this eBook assumes you know nothing except how to strum a basic guitar chord.
The important thing to know is that an arpeggio is a scheme of notes taken from a chord or a broken chord that essentially acts as a melody. By reading The Guitar Chord Parser Plus Guide, you will use arpeggios fluently to create your own stand alone melodies and to play accompaniment peices.
The advantages of using this technique are endless ...
Here are a few things you will be able to do after acquiring this technique from this eBook:
You will be able to create your own melodies by simple using notes within chords you already know.
You will be able to spontanteously create sounds that are uniquely yours.
You will be able to play along with virtually any acoustic sounding song with your own, made up melodies.
You will learn the basics of guitar scale movements.
You will become adept at moving from string to string, horizontally up the guitar fretboard.
You will easily be able to switch from playing series of idividual notes to chord strumming.
You will dramatically increase your ability to pick speedily and accurately.
And MUCH More!
You do not need to be a guitar expert to accomplish this guide. This guide is for beginners who have just learned the basic chords or intermediates who are looking to adopt an incredibly useful technique.
You do not need to know anything about music theory to accomplish this guide.
The methods taught in this guide are not mainstream techniques. You will not find this technique taught in guitar classes and you will not find a technique that offers what the Guitar Chord Parser Plus Guide does anywhere else.
Bottom Line: You will learn how to take notes out of chords (you already know) and create beautiful melodies like Katie Melua does in the below video
Create SPONTANEOUS and UNIQUE melodies on the spot, without spending hours practicing them beforehand
You hear a cool song on the radio, and you look up the tab online so you can play it. We've all been there before. But don't you think it's time for something different? Yes, spending a few hours every night to learn all of the repetitive parts to a new song does sound apetizing. But really ... how can one hope to learn anything by mere copycating?
At some point, we all need to take it to the next level.
