Learn How To Play Lead Guitar - Lead Guitar Lesson #1

This is the first video from the Lead Guitar Quick-Start Series. In this lesson, Nate gives an overview of this series and gets you started with some advice for your fretting hand. If you are interested in learning to play lead guitar - you’ve come to the right place. This lesson series covers: basic hand technique, the major scale, the major pentatonic scale, the minor pentatonic scale, hammer-ons and pull-offs (legato technique), vibrato technique, playing guitar solos, and more.

Best of all, it includes some free jam-tracks that you can use to apply everything you learn to real music. That way you don’t just learn the concepts behind lead guitar, but you also have an opportunity to put your knowledge to practice.

Hey Nate, I just wanted to let you know that your video series is the reason I got back into guitar. I found it frustrating and confusing when I tried to learn on my own, but after watching your videos I decided to buy a Peavey Predator for about 40$ and restore the whole thing to make it look brand new and customized it. Now I use it to play along with your videos. Just wanted you to know you are inspiring people and making guitar fun again because you have inspired me.

[lionell]

Hey Nate, thanks for these videos. Finally getting down to leads after a long period of strumming away and now I've found where to start.

I just bought a guitar after many, many years of not touching a guitar. I found your channel and I'm very impressed by your teaching style and how easy you make it for someone to follow your instructions. Thanks for putting it out there.

Nice video. Always remember that a guitar that has the action set up well is easier to play, which makes it easier to do solos.
Have a great day!

Brother Nath the 12 guitar lessons that you put up on YouTube are really helpful. Such as the major and minor scales and pantatonics. Please do put up some more lessons on lead beyond the 12 lessons

this is my fav guitar channel. i remember when i first started playing guitar, nate helped me so much....and now when i got my first electric, here we are again.thanksss

[RockWeller]

Totally agree with you! Finger posture is very important!

[TrueBlueBoogie]

Nate - Nice work: good instructors like yourself are good at establishing "guard rails" on play technique; how to move a pick and then how Not to move a pick. Those guard rails keep a student "on the highway" and prevent them from falling off the road into a ditch of improper technique and movement. This prevents bad habits that take years to Un-Learn.

I'm the later type of lead guitar . thanks for the guide 👍

[JamieKristopher]

Great set of video lessons, Nate. Truly, I've learned so much from these I cannot state my full appreciation. Been playing for a little over two years but after these, and the beginner lesson you also have here, I can play so much better. Really love playing now!
And if I have got better with just that small amount of tuition? I look forward to picking up your system after the Christmas break. 
Many thanks, simply inspirational!
