  Hi Rostislav!
  Thank you for the very good question about the lesson "Voice Leading VOL. 1" !

  In this lesson, (since it's volume 1) we mostly focus on the top voice of the chord, and we learn how to be creative and play melodies on top of the chord progressions using the diatonic major scale as well as arpeggio lines that connects the chords in a nice way. This is step one in learning about voice leading on guitar. How to be melodic in your chord melody and when you accompany someone on the guitar. This also helps you to learn more voicings on the instrument, which is important when you want to take the next step towards more advanced harmony and "voice leading" playing.

  You can definitely use the concepts when you're creating your own arrangements, but this lesson is made for anyone who plays guitar and not necessarily only solo fingerstyle guitar players. In other words, these concepts works great no matter what constellation you're playing in.. solo, duo, or in a band setting.
  In Vol. 2 however (this lesson is what I'm working on at the moment and will be released later this month), we're focusing more on the chromatic alterations, and how these voices can be moved in common chord progressions.
  How to create great sounding progressions and voice leading, and how to use more altered chords in your accompaniment or solo guitar playing!
  Stay tuned for Voice Leading VOL. 2, which I hope you'll enjoy too! :)

  Have a wonderful week Rostislav, and thanks for being part of our community!
  Kind regards/Emil

  Hi, just wanted to pop in and say hello. Found this site while I was trying to learn a finger style version of Jingle Bells and thought Emil’s version was one of the best arrangements I’ve heard. Here it is - modified ever so slightly to suit my style.

  Hello,

  Can anyone identify the guitar piece in the first recording on this page:

  Sounds like Bach or another Baroque composer.

  Best wishes,

  Hi Josh!
  Happy to see you here on the forum!

  Step 1 when it comes to learning how to play the blues, is to listen to a lot of it! Find recordings of those great players that you mentioned, and listen over and over. All those players are incredible, and their way of comping and playing lead is great - and some of it can be learned pretty quickly, in terms of what chords they use, voicings and scales.
  There are a few chords and certain voicings that they all use when they play the blues, and it's usually combinations of dominant 7th chords and dominant 9 chords. (When it comes to minor blues, there are other chords of course.)

  The major and minor pentatonic scale (as well as the mixolydian mode, which is the 5th mode of the major scale) is the most frequently used scales in the blues.
  On our site (proguitar.com/academy) we don't have many lessons on the blues style a la SRV/hendrix/clapton YET, but we do have a couple of lessons that I think might open up your playing. One is called "Country Guitar: Soloing Concepts", and in that lesson, I'm teaching how to move along with the chords in a Country Blues. (This concepts work in any Blues style as well.) We're learning how to outline the blues changes, just like your favourite players do. If you want to take it one step further, you chan check out "Jazz Up Your Blues" lesson, and that is more on how to spice up your soloing. If you like Robben Fords playing, you might like that lesson! :)

  The "Open string licks" VOL. 2 lesson also features some cool licks for the Shuffle Blues as well as a great blues solo that you might like!

  Anyway, we will definitely add more blues lessons for you in the future!
  Have a great day Josh!
  Kind regards/Emil Ernebro from ProGuitar.com

  Hi there!

  Yes, you are absolutely right! Mistake by me!
  I play that "pedal" note on the G string 9th fret (the note E).. In the notation and TAB I'm playing the major 3rd of that chord instead, as a pedal note.. That works too though! :)

  Thanks for letting me know!
  Kind regards/Emil

  So- am semi-new to guitar building and completely new to the forum! My first kit was an SG-type 12/6 double neck. didn't come out great but not awful either and sounds ok. It has glued/epoxied in necks. Just recently acquired a strat kit. Of course it's got a bolt-in neck. Am a bit apprehensive to drill the 4 holes and twist in the screws- worrying if the neck might crack. It must happen now and then although I've never seen it. My other question IS- I haven't checked the frets and neck with a rocker or gauge yet but in the event the frets need leveling - is it fine to do that before drilling the neck fastening holes as long as the neck fits snugly in the pocket? Hope this wasn't confusing-

  cheers,
  bill

  Hi there!

  I’m using two microphones, and usually it’s a couple of Neumann TLM 102.
  From there I go into a simple preamp/daw which is called steinberg UR44. I use an iMac with protools.
  When I record I have one mic around the 12th fret and one mic on the bridge.
  In any recording software program like protools or similar, you can pan the channels right and left - and I usually pan one mic around 35 to the left and 35 to the right.
  I do a simple eq mix where I usually cut a bit of bass and get rid of a couple of harsh frequencies in the upper midrange etc. maybe boost the highs a bit on the bridge mic.
  And I add reverb to both channels.
  Very simple recording process and I don’t do much at all really, just two mics and a bit of work with eq and then add reverb.
  Kind regards /Emil

  Hi,
  I've got my ltd EC1000p several months ago and everything was working fine. but the other day when I plugged my guitar in JACK 1 with mono cable the magnetic pickup didn't work. when I use the mag/piezo selector only piezo pickup have sound. It means I don't have the blend of both magnetic and piezo or magnetic pickup right now. please help me with this. what could be the problem?

  it is good to know that when I use JACK 2 the magnetic pickups work fine and when I use a stereo cable in JACK 1, just piezo pick up have sound and nothing is coming out of magnetic pickups.

  I appreciate any help on this.

  About This Listing
  Larrivée Model L-03-12R Acoustic 12 String Guitar Description

  This acoustic 12 string guitar was made in Canada in 2003. This is a solid wood guitar featuring a maple bound solid Sitka spruce top, solid rosewood back & sides, a mahogany neck and a maple bound ebony fingerboard. The 25.5” scale length neck joins the body at the 14th fret giving a comfortable amount of play room:16" Wide (lower Bout) and 41" in Length

  The neck profile is thinner than you may expect and the guitar plays incredibly fast for a 12-string with low action and very easy playability on a smooth ebony fingerboard with maple binding. The X-scalloped bracing helps project and resonates beautifully. The head stock overlay and bridge are both made of ebony with a Larrivée logo inlayed on the headstock and dot inlays on the ebony fingerboard.

  This is one of the best playing 12 string acoustic guitars that I have ever played. It looks, sounds and feels fantastic and comes with the original Larrivée hard shell case. This is a fantastic player’s guitar that is setup perfectly and ready to make some great music!

  Specifications:

  Make: Larrivée Model: L-03-12R Serial Number : 64519 Year of Manufacture : 2003 Country of Origin: Canada Finish: Satin Natural Condition : Mint Body Type: Acoustic Upper Bout: 11.625” Lower Bout: 16” Waist: 10.25” Body Depth: 4.75” Top: Sitka Spruce Back and sides Wood: Rosewood Bracing: X-Scalloped Neck : Mahogany Neck Joins Body: 14th Fret Headstock Overlay: Ebony Fingerboard : Ebony Body Binding: Maple Heel Cap: Maple Fingerboard Binding: Maple Inlays: Headstock Logo, Dot Fingerboard Inlays Rosette: Herringbone Top Purfling: Multi-Strip Frets: 20 Frets Scale Length: 25.5” Nut : Bone Nut Width: 1 7/8” Hardware: Chromium Tuning Machine : Silver Larrivée Tuners Bridge: Ebony Saddle: Bone Compensated Bridge Pins: Compensated With Dots Case : Original Larrivée Hardshell Case
