New Guitar Lesson! (AKA weird faces alert). Crafting memorable & hookey guitar solos is waaaay trickier than you’d think. Keeping it simple yet engaging can be tough. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My new single WANNA LOVE uses thematic improvisation. I absorbed it through jazz legends like #SonnyRollins and his technique is still employed by more modern day guitar heroes like @TreyAnastasio and sometimes @JohnMayer.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In Bb, I build a super simple theme around the tonic and elaborate by adding one or two notes at a time as the song unfolds. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The progression here is I-iii-vi-IV. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ You know what I’d love? Make a video of you jamming to WANNA LOVE using Thematic Improvisation and tag me. Listen at link in bio⁣⁣ (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DT-JGAPoE/?igshid=1gwtwxqb4yhwz

Guitar Lessons are back! Wanted to talk about the guitar riff in my new song REAL LOVE⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve found it’s really tricky to turn off the “educated guitar player” in me and just write a super hooky & simple guitar riff for a pop song. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ With Real Love, the riff is built on the two chords, F & Bb major. The first notes are the tonic & octave (F) and move to the suspended forth and third of F (Bb & A). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Then the riff repeats itself backwards over the Bb chord. The Bb and A notes become the tonic and seventh before the riff resets itself to the beginning.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Playing it for you here (you can hear the recording at the link in my bio). Check it out and let me know if you can play it. If you want tag me in your stories and I’ll repost it!⁣ ⁣ @notmaxmartin @kylereynoldsmusic (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2CssuLgDu-/?igshid=1gkx8p5y4c7x2
