Technique
Technique is like the unique language of guitar – bends, slides, vibrato, hammer-ons, pull-offs. It is what makes guitar so much fun to play. There is nothing quite like squealing a bend out high up on the neck, or ripping out a series of hammer-ons, slides and pull-offs descending a scale. This is where legends are made – Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn to list a few. Listen to them and breath in their techniques. Learn the skills here then see how others use them.
