1) D Major Arpeggio - 3 Octaves - Buggas

Heres a cool approach on D Major arpeggio in 3 octaves. I just came up
with this lick, so
havent got the chance to break it down and practice it before I
recorded it. It has a kind of Paul
Gilbert touch to it

3) Fire Field - Nathan Hahn

Heres a guitar version I did of some music from FZERO, the super
nintendo racing game. Its an
abridged version of the music from Fire Field, the games final track. I
created it using PC
Drummer and a freeware multitrack program called Audacity. There are two
cool little licks in
this one that Id like to point out. The first is the ascending legato
pentatonic lick at :31. The
second is the tapping section at :35 which is then harmonized at :44.

4) Modes - history and use - Azrael


The MODES are sectors or excerpts (with the span of an octave) from a
diatonic 2-octave scale
starting with A (a).
There are always two modes that fit together. they are related via the
Finalis(finishing note).
The halftones are always between e and f and between b and c. the modes
are not scales in the
strict sense of the word. they are just fragments of scales that
encapsualte the note-material of
melodies used as model.

5) Neon Lies/Guitar Synth - Schmange

Once again, this was done about 90% using a Guitar Synth.
The whole assorted history of the song itself can be found on my
homepage so Ill just detail a bit
of the background here:

11) Become a Guitar Tricks Host

Guitar Tricks Host sections provide a forum for the best
contributors to
really show their technique in detail. At Guitar Tricks, Host
status is the way we highlight the best guitar players on the web.
But Hosts are more than just featured players. Hosts also make
the functional decisions about how Guitar Tricks works.
These decisions are the force that puts the highest quality
material and
best new features here at Guitar Tricks every day.

Why Be a Host?

*Hosts have a chance to publicize their band, show off their
playing, or
advertise their web site.
*Each Host gets an equal vote on how Guitar Tricks is run and who
and
what we
focus on.
*Hosts get their own section of Guitar Tricks to showcase and
explore
different tricks and techniques.
*Hosts get to interact with other guitar players throughout the
world and
learn as much as they teach.
*Hosts get their own @guitartricks.com email address to receive
comments from
other guitar players.
*Hosts dont have to do any web site design or HTML coding. They
just
concentrate on their tricks.

Who Can Be a Host?

We are interested in broadening the styles we cover. Currently we
are looking for classical, jazz, country, and other non-rock
styles. If you play one of these styles, we encourage you to
apply.

We are once again accepting applications from guitarists in the
rock (any rock from blues rock to metal) category.
However, we are very selective about adding more material to those
styles. We want to keep the variety in our site.
So, please dont apply if you have only been playing a little
while or you arent willing to really be a teacher and thoroughly
explain your material.

1. Anyone can be a Host at Guitar Tricks.
2.You dont have to be a famous virtuoso guitarist, just someone
with a different style, trick or technique.
3.Hosts are selected by a majority vote of the existing Hosts.
4.If you want to be a host, you have to apply. We dont draft
anyone.
5.Here are some of the criteria that Hosts generally use when
decided whether or not to accept a new application

Would this Host bring something new to the site?
Is the recording quality good?
Does the tab match the recording?
Did I learn something?
Sure he can play, but can he explain it?

What Would I Have to Do?

If you want to be a Host, contribute a minimum of two tricks with
sound as samples.

http://www.schmange.com/schmangeonline/newsletters.htm

Then fill out the application form.

http://www.guitartricks.com/2000/happly.php

After you have filled out the form, allow three days for the
voting to take place. The webmaster will contact you with the
results of your vote.
If you are elected, you must contribute a total of eight tricks
before your section can be opened.
After your section is opened, you can participate as much or as
little as you want. It is entirely up to you.

Current hosts can be found on the home page at Guitar Tricks
