On This Rock (Outro)

Here's a serious brooding moment, in what I believe to be one the darkest TWRP songs!

There's a menancing, long winded chord progression that the synths play. The guitar plays the root notes ...

Planet Bass (Fusion Fill)

Hey everyone! Thought I'd post this one today - it's a fun and quick moment that only happens once in a super goofy song.

This is a great one to work on some rhythmic soloing ideas, as well a...

Comin Atcha (Verse)

Hey funk freaks... today we're getting really lively with a triplety doodle. Read on if you'd like learn, nerds!

....

This part is all triads on the top 3 strings. If you know these yo...

Planet Bass (Solo)

Who would have thought - planet BASS being discussed on the GUITAR page!

It was very fun to relearn this solo and make the video lesson for you all. The explanations are all in the vid court...

The Eve of War (Slidey Guitar Lead)

Remember this fun cover we dropped a few months ago?

Some of the guitar parts in this one are unique to our version, and others are taken straight from the original. Other ones are slightly r...

Black Swan (Outro)

Here's an easy and fun one to give you a lil' weekend boost! 

This rockin' power chord progression provides a solid foundation for some seriously beautiful vocal harmonies via Dan Avidan...

Black Swan (Guitar Lead 1)

Time to let it rip! Here's a 2 part harmony (aka guitarmony). This moment happens at 1:47 in the song. Like I mentioned before, it's hard to label this part as a verse or post chorus or whatever, s...

Black Swan (Heavy Riff)

Here's a personal favourite! A chonky riff with some cool rhythmic ideas happening.

It happens around 1:38 in the song - I'm not sure if it has a proper function as far as verses and choruses...

Need Each Other (Bridge)

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday time.

Here's potentially one of smoothest parts we've got. It's kind of like 2 in one. The first part being the low palm muted single no...

Champion Zone (Heavy Riff)

Hello my lil' champions. This is a hot and heavy metal riff. I'm pretty sure if you play this correctly and with the right tuffness, a gold trophy might just show up at your door!

How do you ...

Red and Gold (A Section - Second Half)

Okay let's go! If you're feeling good with the first half (posted last week), it's time to take this one for a whirl.

I think this part is fairly intermediate in difficulty. On the one hand i...

Red and Gold (A Section - First Half)

Continuing through Phobos IV in chronological order - here's the first melody from this banger smash hit. Amazing that it was #1 on all the world charts for so many years!

This one is a long ...

Introduction (Second Half)

Continuing this discussion of the track, of which the first half was covered last week. These two lessons are peas in a pod. So go check that one out first if you haven't already. Otherwise, open t...

Introduction (First Half)

This is probably one of the weirder parts I've ever written. It's a total vibe! It doesn't follow conventional ideas or chord shapes super well, and it utilizes a lot of open strings. This makes it...

Galactic Chase (Second Section)

Here is the second section of this fun tune!

This section started off with the synth trumpets up high. I wanted to put a low guitar riff beneath this to compliment the synths, and came up wit...

Galactic Chase (Outro)

Continuing onwards with Phobos I! Here's another one of my fav riffs from Galactic Chase - the outro section.

My intention here was to make a real cool tuff guy riff. The kind of riff that ma...

Galactic Chase (Intro)

Hey all! Going to focus on some Phobos solo material over the next little while. This is the intro for one of my fav Phobos songs. I also just posted a lesson for the solo in this one for the SHRED...

Feels Pretty Good (B Section)

Hey folks! Here's the B Section to Feels Pretty Good. The A Section was posted way back when, so it feels like this one is long overdue!

...

This one actually starts with a cool tr...

Maximum Thrust (Verse)

Alrighty folks, it's time to mix things up. Typically most of these guitar parts are in either the funk realm or the meedly-meedly shred zone. This one on the other hand is in the textural ambient ...

Head Up High (A Section)

This week let's do a fun single note spanky part!

I'm often trying to pay homage to cool things when writing a guitar part, and this one was inspired by David William's guitar playing on earl...

Ladyworld (Verse)

Here's a continuation of last week's lesson, as we continue to dig into the ultra fun song of Ladyworld. While in the same song, the part itself is very different from the chorus part we learned la...

Ladyworld (Chorus)

This is one of my fav parts of all time (no exaggeration!). It takes a simple motif and transforms it a lil' bit with each chord change. The motif in its most basic form is this:

E--3-5-5-3-...

Somewhere Out There (Chorus)

...Somewhere out there? How right here, this beautiful guitar lesson you're able to check out?

This song is probably #1 for the most different guitar approaches in one song. There's some roc...

Baby, NYC (Pre-chorus)

Hello Phibbilings!

Here's a Van Halen-y kinda part for you all. These tight palm muted parts high on the neck with a a nice crunchy tone really gets you into that territory where you think "O...

Cosmic Tides (B Section)

Okey dokey! Here we go again.

Cosmic Tides has a few different parts, and because it's instrumental none are really a verse or chorus. So I'll call this the  B Section. The A Section was...

Whisper on the Breeze - Bridge (Pt II)

Here's a continuation of a lesson we did a while back on the fusion-y bridge of this song.

This song originally started as 2 songs which we joined together. The working title for this middle ...

Believe in Your Dreams (Verse)

Here's somewhat of a legacy track. Always loved playing this part, and now you can learn it too! I believe in you all.

The entire part is 8 measures long. You can think of it as four 2 measur...

All Night Forever (Chorus)

Funk people! Here's a fun and simple part. It only plays in every odd measure of the section, responding to the vocal melody.

---

The rhythm with this part is fairly important, you migh...

Synthesize Her (Bridge Lead)

This week's lesson is a solo that's almost halfway to a being a shred lord tier vid! Usually I'll go totally ham in a solo, but this one is more restrained. So it's a good one to learn if you're so...

The No Pants Dance (Verse)

Hello Phobos Nation! Today we'll be looking at this funky verse. It consists of 3 main chords:

C#m - B - F#
C#m - B - F# - G#sus4

I use funky 3 note voicings of these on the top 3...
