There is no easy way to teach someone the knowledge that is needed when they first learn to play lead guitar.
Whether you intend to learn to play blues guitar or learn to
play electric guitar.
It is a combination of natural talent and technique, teaching and practice that will make you the best lead guitarist you can be!
Discipline is what will transform you from an average lead guitarist into a brilliant one. When you first learn to play lead guitar it is super important to be disciplined and be able to put the hours in that are needed to master the craft. A good teacher can help you set a time schedule and training program to keep you motivated and on track.
Technique
Technique is one of the major elements when you learn to play lead guitar. A good teacher is critical to teach you the basic skills and allow you to perfect them. Playing guitar is artwork, you need to practice and perfect the craft. Many lead guitarists in today's popular music groups will tell you they will never stop learning and never stop perfecting there
lead guitar style.
Body language is another important element when you learn to play lead guitar. Attitude and body language go hand in hand to give you the confidence you need as a lead guitarist. If you watch a music video you will always notice the confidence the lead guitarist has compared to his backup musicians.
As a lead guitarist it is important to have strong leadership skills. Keeping your ego in check is an important factor in leading a group. As the lead guitarist you are responsible for the backup musicians and need to be able to think on your feet and cover any mistakes that may happen during a set. This is something that will come with time but should always be in your minds eye when you learn to play lead guitar.
- Proper learning positions
When you first start to learn to play lead guitar it is important to practice while in the seated position. Being seated during practice will help you to maintain full control of your instrument and allow you to concentrate on your practice. Always have both feet on the ground and have your back straight to avoid injury.
Learning the correct hand positions when you learn to play lead guitar is the single most important element. Using the correct hand positions will allow you to move through the chords with ease and avoid making mistakes. It will also allow you to react instantly if one of your backup musicians makes a mistake or misses a note. Correct hand positions should be practiced continuously even by the most experienced guitarists.

Steve Lukather has been called "the best musician on the planet." Though most often associated with the Grammy-award-winning band Toto, Lukather's association with Toto is simply the tip of his massive career iceberg. Over the past 30 years he has amassed credits on over 1,000 albums in every genre as a session guitarist, arranger, singer and composer, and has worked with a spectrum of artists that ranges from Miles Davis to Chet Atkins. Simply put, Lukather's discography is mind blowing. Quincy Jones’ favorite guitarist, "Luke" has contributed to so many classic albums and tracks his name should be household fare. On June 5, 2008, Steve made it official, "The fact is, yes, I have left Toto. There is no more Toto. I just can't do it anymore and, at 50 years old, I wanted to start over and give it one last try on my own. Honestly, I have just had enough. This is not a break. It is over..."

Modern Guitars met with Judy Collins at the Willard International Hotel in Washington, D.C., the day of her show at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. As one would guess, the artist that prompted the writing of “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” has a captivating gaze and an elegance and intellect that have been nurtured by her life’s journey. Many of us know that Judy was among the early folk artists during the ‘60s who thrived on the rich camaraderie among musicians, poets and street artists in Greenwich Village. Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Richie Havens, Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs and Jim McGuinn all roamed the local clubs to find their voices and hone their performances in that era where folkies and beatniks found their roots in traditionalism and strength in avant-garde expression. But, to Judy Collins, they were not only fellow artists, but friends. And today, the bond remains among those early folk revivalists who are now well known artists that the world has enjoyed and honored, over many decades...

Line-up changes, manager difficulties – you name it, the BoDeans have dealt with it. Of course, they have also done extraordinary things, including supporting U2 on the Joshua Tree tour, and scoring a breakthrough mainstream hit with the ubiquitous “Closer To Free” in the mid 1990s. In the process, they managed to largely define quality American roots rock in the eyes of many a music fan. It was sometime around 1990 when my cousin first turned me on to this great little band from Milwaukee. I was at his house when he said, “Check this out. I think you’ll like this band,” then played the BoDeans’ first album, Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams (1986, Slash/Warner Records; reissued 1990, Reprise/WEA). By the time “Still The Night” came on, I was hooked. The track called “Angels” clinched it...

Late last year, Big Brother and the Holding Company performed at the campus of Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland. D.C. Photographer Michael G. Stewart and I met guitarist Sam Andrew, who talked about the group, Janis Joplin, the band's history and about Sam's latest ventures. Imagine being a guitarist in one of the most successful rock blues bands of the '70s with your days filled with limos, women, drugs and the other temptations that go along with rockdom. Some hard hitting performers didn't make it through the '70s. Most, though, managed to steer clear of the cliffs and by sheer luck not only did they survive, they now find themselves thriving on the music that continues to energize each new generation...
