Online Rock Guitar Lesson 3: Moveable Major Scale
In our third online lesson, Shawn discusses the 2 octave, 6 string major scale. This scale shape is moveable. This means that you can start on any fret of the 6th string, follow the left hand shape, and still result in a 2 octave major scale. Pretty cool huh? (Free PDF chart below!)
Starting in the key of C (no sharps, no flats) then transposing the scale to G major (1 sharp, F#). Don't forget to practice different rhythms (1/4, 1/8/, and 1/16 notes) as well as alternate picking, tremolo picking, and slurs. Learn the scale before making things too difficult on yourself!

Online Rock Guitar Lesson 1: E Chords
Premiering our free Online Rock Guitar Lesson series with Shawn Hatfield, we start by talking about the E power chord, E5, E Major, and E Minor.
The E Power Chord and E5 are often used synonymously, however there is a slight difference. The full power chord has the higher octave E included to give it the "power" it's missing.
See you next week!

Love the @sslaudio E Channel by @wavesaudio on acoustic guitars. Here we have two acoustic guitars with just slightly different settings for a wide left and right.
Some filter, EQ, compression, and console character! Set too similar settings and you'll lose your width.
King St. Band debut album out this Thursday, Dec 20th!

Loving the McDSP 4020 Retro EQ and 4030 Retro Compressor on this guitar room mic! King St. Band
It's so nice to have 4 bands, HPF, LPF, and an I/O section for EQ. Very #versatile and #analog sounding!
The 4030 is an amazing vintage sounding #compressor. We have the threshold cranked but the mix knob really low for some subtle agression!

Drum Tutorial: Practicing Subdivisions
Hey folks!
In this video Warren Hayford demonstrates a quick and easy subdivision exercise. He shows how to take a beat and split it into 2's, 3's, 4's, all the way up to 8's and back down. He begins each subdivided grouping with an accent. The goal of the exercise is to transition between each subdivision as smoothly as possible.

CLA-76 Intro on Acoustic Guitar
Check out this quick introduction to the Waves Audio CLA-76 compressor on a C210ce by Taylor Guitars.
The CLA-76 is based on the popular 1176 Peak Limiter originally made by UREI in 1967. You can set the ratio to 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, and All. Unlike most compressors, the attack and release settings are slowest when set to the lowest setting and fastest when it is set to the highest setting. Superfast attack!
You can purchase the CLA 76 now for $59 here - https://www.waves.com/plugins/cla-76-compressor-limiter
