Dire Straits Brothers in Arms Cover - Knopfler Guitar Style

Dire Straits Brothers in Arms Cover - Knopfler Guitar Style Video Clips. Duration : 7.07 Mins.

My attempt at Brothers In Arms, from the 1985 album by Dire Straits. Played with an Epiphone Les Paul Custom, through a Boss volume pedal, into a Boss BR-600 8 track recorder. The recorder is playing the backing track and recording the guitar signal. The line out from the recorder is fed into the video camera. The backing track is available from www.licklibrary.com - the actual page is: www.licklibrary.com Hope you like it. As I say in the vid, it's not that technically demanding, but you have to be careful with muting inparticular. Something Knopfler seems to do with ease, whereas I still have to think about it! For anyone thats interested, I always play 'Knopfler Style' with my fingers. I am *completely* useless with a pick. Recently (since I got the Les Paul) I've also grown my finger and thumb nails and changed my style a little to pick with my nails rather than the skin of my fingers. This gives much more 'attack'. Lack of attack was never a problem with any of my single coil Strat type guitars, but it was an immediate problem as soon as I got the Les Paul, which sounded horribly muddy and muffled. Playing with the fingernails fixed it! I have an MP3 of this (much better sound) if anyone wants a copy, let me know and I'll tell you where you can download it! All the best Mark.

Guitar Lesson: Whole Tone & Augmented

Guitar Lesson: Whole Tone & Augmented Video Clips. Duration : 15.92 Mins.

www.creativeguitarstudio.com Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question: Q: I have been working on my Jazz guitar theory for over a year now and I have a handle on most of the basic ideas. But, Im heavy into jazz fusion guitar. Scott Henderson is my favorite guitarist! One thing I know he uses a lot are the Augmented scales and arpeggios. Could you please explain what exactly Augmented is all about and how I can practice using it. At this time I only understand that it is a major triad chord (or arpeggio) with a raised 5th interval. But, I dont understand the scale side of it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated Especially how to sound like Scott Henderson! - Paul, Memphis TN. Thanks for writing in! The augmented sound is certainly a part of Scott Henderson's style. It is based from the Whole-Tone scale (also referred to as the Augmented Scale). From the Whole-Tone scale we get the Augmented Arpeggio. The Whole-Tone scale is all Major Second intervals (2 frets on the guitar), the Augmented arpeggio is all Major 3rds. In the video I cover the scale and the arpeggio, as well as, some popular chord types and ways players can begin applying these sounds through theory explanations and licks. The complete lesson article for this video is available on the Creative Guitar Studio website.
