Welcome to the Guitar Lesson

Hello, I'm Charlie Griffiths, and I'm a guitar player for the band Haken. I also wrote some of the rock score syllabus, including some pieces you might be learning from my compositions. Additionally, I've been a contributor to the guitar magazines Total Guitar and Guitar Techniques for many years, since the time of the dinosaurs, it seems!

Lesson Overview

In this lesson, I will be:

• Playing through metal pieces from grades two to eight
• Breaking down techniques
• Showing you tips for approaching the songs

Key Areas of Focus

We'll look at various techniques to improve your playing, including:

• Improvisation
• Technical playing
  • Left and right hand coordination
  • Alternate picking
  • Fretting

So dive in! Join me and the other guitar teachers, and bathe yourself in Rock School.

Goodness, it'll be fun, I promise! Come on, let's do it!
