/in /by

About this lesson

This lesson introduces Paul Gilbert's style of lead playing to your student. The licks demonstrate Paul's use of alternate picking, legato, arpeggios and phrasing. This is a very advanced lesson so only give this to your student if you know they will be prepared for it. If the student enjoys this style of playing, you can give them one of Paul's songs to continue their development.

This lesson will teach your student:

  • How to use fast alternate picking during scale runs
  • Combine picking and legato for complicated patterns
  • Wide stretching, string skipping arpeggios

Combine this lesson with exercises to help the student develop the skills necessary to play the licks.

About this lesson

This lesson plan will help you teach your student how to improvise using the Phrygian-dominant mode and create a Spanish sound. Using very simple arpeggio shapes your student will learn to come up with their own interesting melodies while keeping a rhythm. This is excellent exercise for any student - not just those wanting to learn the Spanish style. The exercises will also give your student practice with fingerpicking.

This lesson plan will help your student:

  • Learn the Phrygian-dominant mode
  • Practice simple arpeggio shapes and patterns
  • Learn how to improvise following a simple set up

Your student doesn't need to understand anything about modes or theory at this point. It does help if they understand the theory behind the mode but even beginners can use this lesson plan without any trouble.
