Playing lead guitar is decidedly a brassy gig. You get at play all the cool solos and you lean to be the centre of attention. Being able to play lead guitar licks and solos needs a lot of practise.
But all that practice will pay off, have trust. Below are some secrets that will help you get the all but out of your playing. Before you know it you'll be a authentic lead guitar virtuoso.
1) Get a Metronome
Lead guitar work requires excellent timing. To help you build your timing you'll want to get your fingers on a metronome. You can either get an electric one or an old school weighted one, they both act good. Develop your speed step by step, don't rush anything. If you take the time to develop clean, smooth playing it will make your playing that a lot better.
2) Get Your Scales Down
Now that you've got your metronome you need something to go along to it. Begin with the C major diatonic scale, or any one you like.Again, start out slow and build your accelerate gradually. Mix up the order in which you play the notes. E.g., play every third note of the scale or play notes in chunks of three or four. Focus on playing smooth and steady, you'll be surprised at the improvements you'll make.
3) Play Along
Take your favorite song or disc a harmonize progression and play along overlook of it. The key is to learn what sounds good with what. Once your ear gets used to the sounds you playing becomes more flowing and you can improvize much better. Trying out is the key, don't be shy and just play.
4) Practice
Apparently. But earnestly, more crucial than the practice is the consistence in which you do it. It's way better to play 5 days a week at a half hour a pop instead of once a week for 2.5 hours. The guitar is not a natural thing for the hand to do so you've got to get it used to being around the neck.
