Members Dual Trace Posted October 3, 2012 Members Share Posted October 3, 2012 I play classical and recently got the electric bug. Bought a Les Paul and a multi effect box to only help build frustration. Playing the electric feels so effortless, but you still need to play the right notes, there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Virgman Posted October 3, 2012 Members Share Posted October 3, 2012 Go ahead and fingerpick.How about some neo-classical shred music? That might be up your alley.You must be able to read music so check out Yngwie Malmsteen stuff or Paul Gilbert scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RobGLA Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Forgive the rather shameless plug, but check out my TrueFire classroom. I've taught a number of students that have come from a classical background but have been interested in the electric guitar. It is interesting because many electric players are firmly rooted in blues/rock and want to break free of that, but from a classical to electric perspective it's more about relaxing the technique and opening the ears.http://truefire.com/guitar-sherpa/sh...?id=4238#videoSend me a message if you would like more info or have questions. Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BarneyGumbel Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I'll follow RobGLA's cue and do a shameless plug. I have composed and recorded 11 albums of backing tracks you can jam along with, and you can find them at http://bestbackingtracks.com. Even though I created these, I never get tired of jamming along with them, and in fact, in about 20 minutes I plan to jam to them for about an hour, like I do every evening. My lead playing has improved dramatically by jamming to these tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
