Lick Library has released it’s ” Ultimate Learn To Play guitar ” DVD’s collection! Those of you who love the Gary Moore style’s going to love these 3 DVD’s.
The first tutorial DVD titled ” Learn To Play Gary Moore ” features songs like ” Still Got The Blues ” and it shows you how to play via the note by note method. I’ve personally always loved the Lick Library collection of guitar tutorials and I’ve found that it’s probably the best way to learn if you want to master a particular song.
The other two DVD’s ” Learn to Play Gary Moore ‘The Solos’ ” and ” Quick Licks in the style of Gary Moore ” round out this collection and teaches you a collection of hot solos and lick most commonly played by Gary Moore. Again, these are great for beginners through to advanced guitar players as it breaks it all down for you note for note.
At the end of each DVD, there are also jam tracks for you to practice what you’ve just learned, which is the thing I love most about these Lick Library instructional DVD’s.
You can purchase them at www.licklibrary.com

Electric Guitar Picking Techniques 101
I’ve had several emails to Guitar Tutorials Now over the last month asking ” How much strength or force should I put on a pick for an electric guitar? “.
Well first let’s clear things up. You don’t put the force on the pick really, but rather the force is on the guitar strings. From my experience many electric guitar tutorials never mention the force applied to the string, and I think this is quite an important factor when it comes to your guitar playing.
The trick is to put less pressure on the strings, the faster you want to play. If you’re playing a slow Blues solo, you could put your usual amount of force on the string, but when it comes to some faster Metal alternate picking or hybrid picking licks, you would not apply AS much force.
The theory is simple really. Too much force causes you to dig your pick deep past the guitar string, and in doing so, would require you to apply more strength to get your pick past the string and onto the next one.
For faster picking, you’d only want to be applying about 2 mm of your pick ( at most ) to the string, and no more.
Try this technique and you’ll be taking your electric guitar lead playing past the speed limit in no time
