RGPTV#5-New Guitar Melody & Using Effects

Hey everyone, It’s been a little while since the last video but I got some really cool new stuff to show you with this song. I created some new chord progressions, rhythms and melodies. I also started using some guitar effects, like reverb and delay, on the melody guitar.  I’m a big fan of using effects to thicken up the sound and gain some inspiration. In this video I’m going to show you all the new parts as well as how they go together Enjoy!

RGPTV – Episode 4 – Recording and Arranging Ideas In Logic

Welcome to a new episode of Rock Guitar Power TV! In this video I am going to show you how I record and arrange my ideas in a software program called Logic.  Along with using Logic, I also use a program called pro tools to record my ideas.

RGPTV – Episode 2 – Rhythm Jamming/Right Hand Technique

I’ve been jamming on the chord changes and have been coming up with some really cool stuff.  I’ve been studying the rhythm techniques of Rodrigo y Gabriella and used some of them in this part. It’s an awesome technique and it sounds really cool. Your able to play triplets very fast and controlled. It brings a lot of fire to the sound.  If you haven’t heard of Rodrigo y Gabriella, check them out! There a huge influence on me. Watch the video here:
