Visualisation - Guitar Lesson - Improve your guitar playing fast
Visualisation
Here is a guitar lesson on a concept know as 'visualisation', which I feel is something which can help you improve your guitar playing really fast. As a concept, like 'finger positivity' it is a little tricky to explain, in a video and in text, as it is all in the mind. The basic premise requires you to think about and visualise in your minds eye, scale shapes, chord shapes, licks and riffs, and at the same time try and think about how they sound as well. This is an exercise you can do at any time, such as on a bus, or train, and will really help you see your way across the fretboard.There are also a number of aspects to the concept of guitar visualisation, and another one is something which Steve Vai advocates, and this is to do with playing confidence and imaging yourself playing the perfect gig. I discuss this a little bit in the video, but will do another video about this.
The Lesson
So, check out the video, visualise your scales, chords, songs in your minds and you should find that you are maximising your ability to improve on the guitar.

How to play Uptown Funk guitar lesson
So it is everywhere now, so I though I would give you a 'how to play Uptown Funk guitar lesson' by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. There is certainly a lot to like in this song and it really seems to hark back to the funk tracks of the 80's by people like Prince, Cameo and I would say one of the guitar lines is almost a direct rip of the style of David Williams playing on Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and Thriller albums. The guitar parts are actually quite spare, and like the best of pop production the whole thing is spares lines interplaying with one another to give a massive sound, right out of the Quincy Jones school of production.I think Uptown Funk works best f you take the parts and make them your own, adding you own little twists on to the lines here. I also think that it makes an excellent tune to do a loop too, I will have a go at this an post the result!!Here is the lesson....and here is the tabUptown Funk Tab Uptown Funk - Guitar TabEnjoyPeaceNeil
