About Me

A&P mechanic, Pilot and mechanic instructor for the Piper Malibu/Mirages since 1991 before returning to school to become an educator in 2001.  Dual certified Special Ed & Social Studies 6-12 educator since 2001 in CA and PA.  Motorcycle Safety Coach for the state of PA since 2004.  Scuba Certified since 2010.

Played acoustic guitar since 1990 and played bass in several bands from 2004-2008.  Wife bought me an Ibanez AM93AYS for 2011 Christmas and is allowing me to pursue my passion of playing leads in a band.  So, I'm looking for a good instructor to teach me.  Do you know of anyone?  ;-)

Married for 19 years with two wonderful teenager (14yr old daughter and 16yr old son).  Just bought son a very nice Ibanez 5-string bass guitar and he's using my 1/2 stack bass amp for gigging with the local church.

perhaps i am the same as you ive been playing for some time also but i cant play lead.Ive just started learning and practicing scales also.perhaps because im not really musically minded i didnt know much about them.Its the fact that my friend plays lead in our band that has spurred me to do this and try to get more up to his level cuz im just playing rythmm in the band my ultimate goal is to shred see if i can achieve it in the next few years.

paulg1630,

I feel ya man. I've scoured the web for ways to break my own plateau, and found two other programs that have a lot to offer. However, I'm leaning heavily on PlaneTalk as it seems to make more sense.

Have you seen the three Chord Tone Melody lessons I put together? The first one is here, follow links from there to the other two.

That's a good start ...

Kirk,

Thanks. Went through all three. As expected, it leaves out many details, but does offer a glimpse to your approach. It is appealing.

...What specifically, would you like to know about it?

Honestly? an explanation of what it is and how it works... maybe pics of patterns??? I understand power chords and open chords. I'm imagining that if I play an 'A' power chord at the fifth fret that I'd play only those notes covered by my fingers? Yes? But I also think this method more limiting than knowing scales, so I'm betting my imagination is incorrect.

Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Rick
