    THE PROFESSOR Adding the Major Blues Scale to your soloing vocabulary is a great way to dig into this rockin’ ‘70s sound in your rhythm and lead guitar playing.

    Greetings from Granada (Andalucia, Spain)!

    In this lesson I'm playing a rhythm guitar song that reminds me of 70's rock or late 70's hard rock. Influences from bands like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or even ZZ top are included in this song. I use hybrid picking and fast picking rhythm techniques. Everything is played using syncopated chords.
