Play Better Guitar - Expand Your Horizons

The most adaptable system is Guitar-eze. 
 
If you've already played some guitar... been frustrated... want to play better guitar... want to play guitar differently... want to be more versatile on guitar... want to play guitar more easily... want to play guitar by ear... want to play guitar more by "feel"...
 
Here's where a guitar player can become a better guitar player.   That is - a more versatile guitar player.
 
Let's face it - every guitar player has changed tunings.  Even if it's just drop-D, or putting on a capo.
 
What if you could play guitar - really play guitar - for more than just one song or one lick - in another tuning.  You owe it to yourself to try.  I've seen the jaws drop when I play.  I've watched the puzzled expressions from the audience.  I've seen the raised eyebrows from fellow guitar players.  Here's what Wikipedia says about open D tuning, the basis for Guitar-eze.
 
The comments are always the same -
 
"what a great sound"
"that's so full sounding"
"you do leads like that?"
"that's a whole new thing"
"wow"
 
 
It's all one simple move - to the world of open-tuned guitar.  Of course, it's absolutely perfect for beginning guitar, acoustic or electric.
 
But it's a whole new world for the guitar player.  Just a few of the benefits of open tuned guitar like Guitar-eze's open-D:
 
  • riffing - like you've never riffed before
  • slide guitar - the way it was meant to be played
  • harmonic and overtones you never dreamed of
  • a low-end crunch like nothing else
  • acoustic tone like nothing else
  • "ear players" especially love it
  • playing by ear is enhanced dramatically
  • Guitar-eze open-D opens the door to other interesting tunings
 
...and on and on.  It's as if standard tuning was just the (more difficult) primer or starting point.  Now you can really start to play guitar.
 
Flipping back and forth is no problem, either.  And of course, open tuning is nothing new.  Check any guitar website out there.  They all make reference to open tunings.  This method just puts it altogether for a guitarist who wants a different way to play.  Players like:
 
  • Keith Richards
  • Ry Cooder
  • Joni Mitchell
  • Elmore James
  • Bo Diddley
  • Muddy Waters
  • Jimmy Page
  • Mick Taylor
  • Don Everly
  • Robert Johnson
  • Bonnie Raitt
  • John Lee Hooker
 
...and countless others.  So why is open tuning so under-appreciated and under-utilized? 
 
  • standard tuning (as the name implies) is the adopted standard
  • standard tuning is not the easiest or most versatile tuning
  • a simpler guitar method is generally not a good thing for music schools
  • standard tuning is great 
  • open tuning is great too
  • add open tuning like Guitar-eze to your guitar arsenal
 
That's what I suggest on this web site.  Especially if progress is slow in standard tuning.  Frustrated guitar player?  You owe it to yourself to give Guitar-eze a try.

 "I Just Want To Play Guitar!"
 
 
How many times I've heard that war cry.
 
Whether it's Sweet Home Alabama, or Home on the Range, or Bo Diddley, or Whole Lotta Love, or whatever, so many of us just want to play guitar.  We don't want to have to learn to read music, or learn harmony, or learn theory.  We don't want to follow tab.
 
We just want to play guitar.  It's a sentiment expressed from ages 4 to 84, by men, women, boys and girls, all over.
 
So they buy a guitar (usually red for guys..(?)), and some slick music store owner signs them up for a bunch of lessons. ...and they get nowhere with it.  So the guitar gathers dust in the corner, or in the case, or in the furnace room.  Or worse - it gets SOLD.
 
A tragedy played out every day across the world.
 
Of course I'm being maudlin (this post is getting so good, though, I think I'll publish it on the other site, you know, as an opinion piece).
 
The reason is that the music shoppe is probably not out for your best interests.  They are out to make money.  They make a ton of money selling you the lessons (never mind the guitar, if they get get $1,000 a year out of you - 50 lessons at $20 a pop).  Multiply that by a few hundred students and you start to see why they are in the teaching business.
 
So they start you off slowwwwwly.  With theory.  With goofy exercises.  With useless single string stuff.  For those students it doesn't hopelessly confuse, it bores the living daylights out of.  Sound familiar?
 
What if you could play a chord right off the bat - strum something that sounds like something right away?  Would that motivate you.  That's what you get with Guitar-eze.  Browse the rest of the site.

 Scales in Guitar-eze

Scales become much easier in Guitar-eze open-D guitar tuning. The reason is that yoru guitar is tuned to an open major chord. Therefore, to "build" a major scale, in Guitar-eze, you are literally half way there - 4 notes of the scale are right in front of your eyes, on 4 separate strings.

From there, you do the standard T T ST T T T ST to find the rest of the notes. Finger stretching is minimal; all the notes are in reach.

For minor scales, a similar rule applies. You simply take the changes from the major scale pattern and apply them. A little trickier, but still well within reach.

Scales are covered in the Guitar-eze book with CD.
