20 Rock Licks: Rhythm And Lead

Take a leap forward in both your rhythm and lead playing as Brian Maillard unveils some of the magic behind both the rhythmic core and the ludicrous leads of modern guitar. Building a solid platform in both fields is essential if you want to be a complete guitarist, and this 20 Licks pack is a solid first step.

This release begins with 10 accessible licks that introduce slides, vibrato, bends, single note taps, alternate picking and a host of theoretical concepts that will help your licks escape the dreaded “box” and become less linear.

On the rhythm side of the coin, you’ll work on palm muting, pull offs, arpeggiated chords, and even ideas that combine the two seemingly disparate skill sets.

The marriage of rhythm and lead comes to fruition with an extended solo. It delivers a crash course in compositional concepts as Brian expertly navigates the backing, while also locking in the ideas from the licks and riffs.

This release includes 10 rhythm riffs, 10 lead licks - all of which are played both fast and slow - a full solo, two slow, two short and two extended backings, tab/notation in PDF and GP format, plus a study guide written by Brian himself.

Don’t become a lead guitarist. Don’t become a rhythm guitarist. Be both.
