Hallo guitar fans. Most of you are already familiar with a term extended range guitar. Most people would define extended range guitar as any guitar that has broader range of a frequency spectrum, or it's tuned higher and/or lower than the usual standard low E to high E tuning. What is standard today? For example, Russians have 7 string classical guitar since 18th century. Some of these guitars had up to 11 or 12 strings, with 7 fretted strings and 4-5 unfretted bass strings. They considered 7 string standard by their criteria back in the day...

Greetings guitar fans.
Few months ago we have reviewed the BIAS for iPad. This month we are happy to announce that Positive Grid has adapted a program code for an iPhone (4S and above) and iPod touch (5 and above). I was so excited to test the Beta version few weeks ago and I was truly impressed with being able to tweak everything on my iPhone 5 touch screen. Now the final release version is ready to fire up your iOS device. BIAS for iPhone can be flawlessly integrated with JamUp XT as well and vice versa.
Welcome to my first lick of the week. We'll be seeing how to play the main theme and a lick that the great Northern Irish guitarist Gary Moore played in his song "Still got the blues".
Hallo guitar fans. Today we are presenting TWA™ - Fly Boys™ guitar pedals by Godlyke Distributing Inc.
We received 5 ultra compact mini pedals with very eye-catching packaging, features and great sound. This mini pedal size is a great addition to any crowded pedal board. Even if you design the brand new pedalboard, you will be able to fit more pedals in.
It comes very handy for a traveling musician as well, because there is no need for very big and heavy pedalboards on the road.
Here we have a free lick taken from the “Dragon’s Fury” solo study, based around the neo-classical rock/metal style. This style gained popularity from the groundbreaking release of Yngwie Malmsteen’s 1984 debut album Rising Force, born from Yngwie’s unique blend of influences, combining classical harmonies and melodies with violin virtuoso Nicolo Paganini and composer J.S Bach cited as influences, alongside the high energy presentation of seventies rock legends like Jimi Hendrix, Uli Jon Roth and Ritchie Blackmore.
If you’re in need of some inspiration to freshen up your blues phrasing or looking to add a little jazz-like colour, John Wheatcroft is back with another series of 3 blues lessons which will help you broaden melodic, rhythmic and improvisational horizons. All 3 parts will include full audio examples (rhythm, solo, backing tracks), PDF and Sibelius tabs and textual explanation with scales and tips.
