http://www.guitargodsecrets.com – In this latest PODCAST episode, we’ll do some exercises to help you control your sound and be more expressive when you play.

The trick is in a technique called choking and its close cousin, palm muting, which will keep any unwanted distortion between your strings and avoid sounding “off” or “weird”.

This is to control your string output and avoid sounding sloppy, and choking can help you with that. The trick is turning off or stopping a note before it rings, and you’ll learn all about that in my podcast!

Plus, I’ll share some interesting trivia about a wildly famous guitarist and how he got his stage name, so make sure to catch that as well!

http://www.guitargodsecrets.com – In this new PODCAST episode, we’ll talk about the FF-word: Fretboard Freedom

Imagine being able to go anywhere on the fretboard without worrying if you’re still in the right key or sound OK. As a guitarist, you know this a BIG deal.

One of the first things you learn from playing in a band is how *painful* it is to hit the WRONG note.

It’s physically painful to listen to, makes you cringe and feels like a kick in the gut for everyone involved!

Obviously, you want to avoid that. That’s why we’ll do a cool exercise to make it easy for you to visualize the fretboard and know it like the back of your hand!

http://www.guitargodsecrets.com – In this new PODCAST episode, we’ll run through one of my favorite exercises. It’s a hammer-on/pull-off sequence based on a legato technique that’ll make your playing smooth and precise.

But it’s not your average scale exercise though – we’ll go in a radically different direction to help you break out of the scales, improvise like a Guitar God and best of all, NOT sound like you’re working scales!

Imagine being able to move in and out of scale patterns…

You’ll be able to pick notes from scales AND play anywhere to get that melodic flexibility that’ll blow away your friends!

To do that, I’ll teach you a practice technique known as CHUNKING which basically breaks down an exercise into small “chunks” so you don’t feel overwhelmed or get in over your head.

PLUS, we’ll cover the benefits of getting CHEAP guitars. We all want to play like rock stars, but most of us can’t spend like one.

I’ll reveal my checkered past involving questionable, knock-off guitars and how it helped me become a better guitar player. You should have a few of those guitars in your life too, and I’ll explain exactly why in my podcast!
