Find contentAbout Me
I'm Canadian, but arrived in Australia in 1974 where I've lived ever since, becoming a citizen in the early '90s. I became a session guitarist in Sydney where I contributed to scores of album tracks, dozens of TV and film soundtracks, countless commercials, and played in too many line-ups to name. Through my own album No Apostrophe and songs like Richard Clapton's "Deep Water" and Marc Hunter's "Big City Talk", the sound of my slide guitar has become ingrained in the fabric of Australian Rock Music.
I also performed live in and around Sydney over the years, in my own bands and as a member of many others: 'Chasin' the Train', 'Sleeping Dogs', 'Richard Clapton Band', Marc Hunter Band', 'Glen Shorrock Band', 'The Six Amigos' and others.
In 1992, I wrote and illustrated my book 'PlaneTalk - The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book', which I self-publish and now sell (along with the companion DVD) on the Internet. I also created this site, Guitar for Beginners and Beyond, several years ago. More recently I produced a DVD teaching my forte, playing slide in Standard and Dropped D Tunings.
I now live at Tamborine Mountain with my partner and co-administrator of this site, Clancy. She, amongst many other things, keeps the forum ticking over.

Lick # 6 – Bluesy Double Stops

Free Lick # 6 - Licks à Lorange - Bluesy Double Stops
Well here is Lick # 6 for you. This one is a 'double stop' lick, one that has elements you can use from here on in in the blues genre. Double stops, of course, are two notes played at once, so you can see this as a harmonized blues lick. Full lesson here.

Licks à Lorange - Lick # 5 - Slide 'chick'n pickin'
12 April 2013 - 11:35 AM
Here's Lick # 5 of my Licks à Lorange series
This slide lick in D has a distinct country flavor to it, mainly due to the 'chick'n pickin'. It's not awfully difficult to play unless you've never tried playing slide before, in which case you can use this lesson to get used to the feel.
Full lesson with TAB, Notation and Guitar Pro file here.
Hope you like it!
