Andrew Wasson of
Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question
...
Q: I've watched your videos on;
Smooth Jazz, and Guitar-Based
Pop Music and I was wondering if you might make a video covering the style of
British Rock bands like;
Dire Straits,
Supertramp, and
Jethro Tull? This style of clean
Rock Guitar (with a hint of
Blues) is amazing to me! A lesson focused on how this style uses basic guitar theory for creating licks & riffs would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

A:
British rock bands like; Supertramp, Dire Straits, Jethro Tull and many others, all have a striped-down, no frills melodic approach that will either apply; a very clean, or just lightly overdriven guitar tone. And, their musical ideas apply a good deal of; arpeggios, pentatonic and scale modes with; heavy sustain, legato and vibrato technique. It all comes together to communicate extremely melodic ideas in their songs. In fact, the melodic and harmonic contrast of this style, can make for songs that are both complex while yet maintaining a certain simplicity at the same time! Now since songs by these artists can run the gamut including everything from;
Scottish roots, to
Reggae, to Blues and of course Rock... there's no limits and plenty of room to explore when composing music in this style
. In the lesson, I cover the basics regarding harmony and melody of the British Rock Guitar
Style.
