This month, we’re teaching you how to play like your idols at JamPlay. We have a ton of guitar lessons that focus on specific skills associated with the artists we all know and love. Let’s get started!

Take The Lead
Lead guitar is exactly what it sounds like: the player that gets to be in the spotlight. Most of the guitarists we all know by name play lead guitar: Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chuck Berry, Carlos Santana, Slash, Tom Morello…the list goes on.
Lead guitar is all about creating melody using single-note-based lines and double stops. The iconic songs we love usually include lead guitar solos and riffs that are instantly recognizable. To play lead, you need to master basic scales and arpeggios and specific techniques such as alternate picking, sweep picking, hammer ons, and pull offs with embellishments like bending, vibrato, and slides. At JamPlay, we have guitar courses that cover all of these skills from absolute beginner level to advanced.
FREE LESSONS
We unlocked a few lessons to get you started.
Berry’

Descending Blues
Scale Run
Minor blues scale with b5: this lick features lots of legato with some strategically picked notes that give the descent a free flowing sound..

Standard tuning is, well, standard. It provides incredible versatility and simplicity, but if it is the only tuning you use it can quickly start to get boring. Luckily, you don’t have to be boxed in by standard tuning.
