Groove3 Guitar Styles Explained

Ready to learn something new on guitar? Well, step right this way. In this video guitar lesson collection, you'll get the lowdown on seven different styles, including tone/gear advice, chord voicings, scales, licks, riffs, and more. Whether you want to start making use of dropped tunings for a grunge sound, are curious how rockabilly players perform those flashy pull-off licks, or can't quite get a grip on the reggae feel, it's all here.

The course kicks off with Celtic Guitar, in which you'll learn about modal melodies, 6/8 time, jigs and reels, DADGAD tuning, and more. Then, in Funk Guitar, Tom Kolb will show you the must-know chord voicings and techniques of this energetic style, including skank lines, scratch rhythms, and syncopation, among others.

Next comes Grunge Guitar, in which Marcus Henderson examines the "big five" of grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Stone Temple Pilots), dissecting each band's favorite guitar moves and musical devices like dropped tunings, sus chords, etc. In Progressive Rock Guitar, Doug Boduch shows you how to play like Rush, Yes, and Dream Theater by mastering topics like odd/mixed meters, open-string drone voicings, and modal riffs.

Other lessons include Reggae Guitar (chord inversions, side-slipping, bass-line riffs, etc.), Rockabilly Guitar (tone and effects, pentatonic scales, hybrid picking, flashy pull-off licks, etc.), and Southern Rock Guitar (repetitive licks, boogie patterns, palm muting, mixing major and minor scales).

You can't help but learn something (most likely many things) new with this course!
