Acoustic Mastery

There’s a simple yet powerful technique that will make simple chords
sounds “majestic”, it’s called finger plucking — and it’s certainly part
of mastering the acoustic. Check out this clip , where Virtuwul demonstrates
a cool plucking lick!

Watch the video and try it out on your guitar right now!

There’s 2 examples here… The first one is about “Fighting Fire” and
the second one is an example from one of Virtuwul’s songs.

In Acoustic Mastery, you will learn to develop this technique through simple but powerful exercises. After that, you can play more complex examples, such as these two in this video!

Acoustic Mastery is a blend of many techniques…

But one of the most important of them all is mastering the picking patterns.

Virtuwul teaches several key picking patterns we should memorize, and then gives examples…

In this example, he takes a simple G, D, C progression and heats it up with an advanced picking pattern, reminiscent of Clapton’s song “Wonderful Tonight”…

“Become the Stars” is one of several of Virtuwul’s songs that he plays on Acoustic Mastery….These songs are perfect examples of how to combine many techniques together in creating killer riffs and songs…

He’s masterfully picking an interesting version of the Amaj guitar chord combined with pull offs… As well as an interesting way to “enter” C#min chord… and many other cool guitar techniques.

This video shows how you can take a SIMPLE CHORD: E…
And spice it up into a killer guitar part…

Virtuwul will show you exactly how YOU CAN DO THAT TOO
inside Acoustic Mastery…

Chord progressions are made a lot more interesting when can you play transition licks between the chords. Here, Virtuwul demonstrates this technique on Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold” riff… In this example, Virtuwul is only using 4 notes
for a transition, but sometimes that is all you need… This easy-to-play lick
works perfectly here…. More complex examples and ideas for transitions
are found inside “Acoustic Mastery” - CJ

Folks,

Claude J here again…

Here’s a killer intro that Virtuwul created
for one of his songs called: “I don’t need you”

Don’t be fooled by the “simple sounding” nature
of this riff… This is a great example of acoustic mastery…

There’s a great guitar technique being used here, which
is making a guitar chord SING.

If you listen to the first note he plays, which is E minor…
He’s moving around the “melody note” which on the “b string”.

Check it out and try to play it…

Hi My Friend,

How are you? Thanks for checking out the blog
again… We appreciate it…

So, the answer to the question: “What is Virtuwul’s
guitar secret?” in the last video and also in today’s
video is: ALTERNATE TUNINGS…

Now, that by itself isn’t much of a “secret”…
A lot of you already know THAT…

The question is: Do you know how to use them?
Do you know how to approach the guitar with an
alternate tuning? What are the coolest alternate
tunings to use? How can you write music with it?

Virtuwul answers ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS
and more…

Virtuwul shows you how to play: 3 COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT TUNINGS… This isn’t “drop D” either… LOL.
This is basically like having a completely 3 NEW GUITARS!

Check out today’s clip as Virtuwul shows you his favorite
alternate “rock out” tuning…

It’s a killer riff…

AND DON’T WORRY! Virtuwul actually wrote the tabs
out for all this stuff even the alternate tunings…

PLUS… AFTER HE’S DONE HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!

Enjoy!

Some guitarists claim there’s no such thing as a “guitar secret”… Well, we beg to differ… Here’s Virtuwul using a little known “secret”… Can you figure it out? If you think you have the answer please write a comment in the blog… Feel free to take a guess!

It’s chock-full of cool lessons. For instance…

Can you take a simple G chord, D chord and C chord and make it sound like a million bucks? Sure you can — using a few powerful guitar techniques such as transitions, pull offs, hammer ons and more…
