There is no easy way to teach someone the knowledge that is needed when they first learn to play lead guitar.
Whether you intend to learn to play blues guitar or learn to
play electric guitar.
It is a combination of natural talent and technique, teaching and practice that will make you the best lead guitarist you can be!
Discipline is what will transform you from an average lead guitarist into a brilliant one. When you first learn to play lead guitar it is super important to be disciplined and be able to put the hours in that are needed to master the craft. A good teacher can help you set a time schedule and training program to keep you motivated and on track.
Technique
Technique is one of the major elements when you learn to play lead guitar. A good teacher is critical to teach you the basic skills and allow you to perfect them. Playing guitar is artwork, you need to practice and perfect the craft. Many lead guitarists in today's popular music groups will tell you they will never stop learning and never stop perfecting there
lead guitar style.
Body language is another important element when you learn to play lead guitar. Attitude and body language go hand in hand to give you the confidence you need as a lead guitarist. If you watch a music video you will always notice the confidence the lead guitarist has compared to his backup musicians.
As a lead guitarist it is important to have strong leadership skills. Keeping your ego in check is an important factor in leading a group. As the lead guitarist you are responsible for the backup musicians and need to be able to think on your feet and cover any mistakes that may happen during a set. This is something that will come with time but should always be in your minds eye when you learn to play lead guitar.
- Proper learning positions
When you first start to learn to play lead guitar it is important to practice while in the seated position. Being seated during practice will help you to maintain full control of your instrument and allow you to concentrate on your practice. Always have both feet on the ground and have your back straight to avoid injury.
Learning the correct hand positions when you learn to play lead guitar is the single most important element. Using the correct hand positions will allow you to move through the chords with ease and avoid making mistakes. It will also allow you to react instantly if one of your backup musicians makes a mistake or misses a note. Correct hand positions should be practiced continuously even by the most experienced guitarists.

Forty-five years after releasing his debut album The New Boss Guitar, jazz guitarist George Benson is still going strong. With the upcoming August 25, 2009, release date set for his latest studio album Songs And Stories, the ten-time Grammy winner pays tribute to some of his favorite songwriters and composers. Featuring an all-star line up that includes bassist Marcus Miller, guitarists Lee Ritenour and Toninho Horta, saxophonists Tom Scott and Gerald Albright, among others, Benson and company come together to produce an album that is not only a tribute to great songwriters, it is also a reflection of more than four decades of experience by one of jazz's greatest instrumentalists and vocalists. The tracks on the album are a mixture of re-interpretations of classic tunes, such as Christopher Cross' "Sailing" and James Taylor's "Don't Let Me be Lonely Tonight," alongside new songs written by some of the music industry's greatest songsmiths. The track "Family Reunion" was penned by Ron Templeton, who wrote Benson's worldwide hit song "Give Me the Night" from the guitarist's 1976 smash hit album Breezin'. Songwriter Bill Withers came out of retirement to write the track "A Telephone Call Away," which is one of the album's finest lyrical and instrumental moments. Other songwriters who made contributions to Songs and Stories include Smokey Robinson, Lamont Dozier, Donny Hathaway and several others...

Ace Frehley is a patient man. After releasing his fourth solo studio album, Trouble Walkin', Frehley became musically sidetracked with other projects including the KISS "Unplugged" concert and several highly successful reunion tours with the hottest band in the land. As the second of these reunion tours came to a close, Frehley decided to shift his creative focus back to his solo career and began writing, producing and recording his highly anticipated new album Anomaly. Anomaly features Frehley originals and one cover of Sweet's classic song "Fox on the Run." With long-time bandmate Anton Fig on drums, the songs feature hard-driving grooves and catchy guitar riffs that have become a staple of Frehley's work, both as a solo artist and with KISS. Set for release on September 15, 2009, the new CD is Frehley's fifth solo release and first since 1989...

Born in Mississippi and raised in the cultural Mecca of Southern Louisiana, slide guitarist Sonny Landreth seemed destined to be a musical talent from a very early age. Growing up surrounded by the jazz, second line and R&B of New Orleans, the Delta blues of his home state, the exciting rock 'n' roll music being heard on the nation's radio stations, and local Zydeco bands, has led Landreth to become a diverse musician solidly grounded in the blues music that he loves. His multi-fingered approach to the slide, where he mixes fretted notes behind the slide that he keeps on his pinky finger, has redefined the public's perception of what a slide guitar player can accomplish. Though he is a virtuosic guitarist and performer, Landreth is also an accomplished songwriter whose writing adds a new dimension of musicality to his guitar artistry...

Vinnie Moore has long since established himself as one of the leading rock guitarists of his generation. After impressing Mike Varney of Shrapnel records at the age of twelve, Moore was chosen to showcase his guitar talent on a national Pepsi commercial which brought him his first widespread exposure as a guitarist to watch out for. Since then Moore has found success as both a leader, including his vastly popular first album Mind's Eye featuring Tony MacAlpine on keys, and as a sideman in such bands as U.F.O., Vicious Rumors and as a member of Alice Cooper's band. With over twenty-five years in the business, Moore continues to steadily release new material and perform to sold out houses all over the world. Moore's latest CD To the Core showcases the guitarist's advanced melodic approach, his lightening fast chops and ability as a modern rock songwriter. The album also showcases the many different styles and genres of music that have influenced Moore over the years. Moore's writing and soloing melds elements of rock, blues, jazz-fusion and metal to form a musical style that can only be described as Vinnie Moore...
