Scales
Scales
Scales are an invaluable tool for any improviser - and knowing just a few of them really well can go a long way.
Licks
Licks
Every guitar player loves a good lick - and licks can really help you break into more "meaningful" soloing. Practised with intent, licks represent a brilliant way to form your own language as a musician.
Music Theory
Music Theory
A basic understand of music theory can really free you up as a player. Sometimes a simple shift of perspective can take you from "not feeling it" to having the most fun and playing your best solo yet!
Exercises
Exercises
We will learn a number of exercises that build your ability to improvise - and to play more meaningful, coherent and melodic solos.
How to Practice
How to Practice
Practice tips and tricks - to help you build an inspiring playing vocabulary that not only will serve you in a multitude of jam scenarios, but also will make it TONS more fun playing that guitar!
Case Studies
Case Studies
For our case studies, we will look at several solos. We will analyze the material, learn it and feel the inspiration that new licks can bring - but MOST IMPORTANTLY, we will look at the best ways to apply everything we learn to our own playing.
Hey bro, love the classes. Wasn't able to do them live because of time constraints but its great to have them for review any time. I've learned some cool stuff that I use from you that I added to my thesaurus of blues knowledge. Thanks so much man! Awesome!!
Quist is a really great instructor. The lessons have been well organized with a lot of documentation to back-up the instruction. Definitely intended for other-than-beginning guitarists. The TIL platform has worked well.
This class was really great. Quist showed us a lot of practice routines, which is extremely useful. He showed us in detail how to improvise on both major and minor blues. Now that this class is over I still have so many things to practice for the next weeks and months! Thanks so much Quist!
This course is an amazing road map to improve your playing, taught by a guy who combines theory, skills, and taste -- and addresses all three. If you're looking to build a foundation for better playing, this course shows you how to start doing that. I can't recommend Quist and this course highly enough. It gave me enough to work on for a long time, and also made me better immediately.
Awesome to spend time on a personal level with such a talent as Quist. Wow!
Love quist, super insightful.
