Spooky Halloween Special (Patreon)

Hello all,

There's a new video out today (I thought I'd release this one a day earlier than usual to get a little more Halloween mileage out of it) I'm looking at the song Spooky, originally a hit for 60s beat combo Classics IV. And this basically gives me an excuse to talk about all kinds of interesting guitar things - groovy rhythm ideas, playing vocal melodies on the guitar, double stops, and soloing using the dorian mode. Here's the link -

The tab is below. In fact, there are 2 separate tabs - one for the rhythm guitar parts and one for the melody and solo. The backing track will be in the next post. 

Hope you find it interesting. 

In other news, I put out a new beginner soloing course at the weekend. You can get the full details here -

It's very much aimed at beginners, so may well be too basic for many people here. But if you are a beginner looking to get into soloing and improvisation, or perhaps a self-taught intermediate player looking to fill in some gaps in your knowledge then it might be of interest.  (I had wondered whether I could somehow tie it in with Patreon membership, but that proved too complicated to set up! So for now it's a stand alone course.)

That's it for now. Speak next week,

Adrian
