In this capstone for the mainline guitar method on this site/Patreon, I take you through a bunch of songs (30 of them) and show you how I would apply all of the guitar and music concepts we have discussed. Songs have been randomly chosen but are split into the categories below.
Embedded Files
Melodies and Solos
Songs or sections of songs that are more Melody/Lead/Solo oriented. Showcasing the value of thinking about the chords that are happening behind you, knowing the full chord sounds of those chords so you can feature fun notes, using chord shapes as a way to navigate your leads, and embellishing chords to fill out guitar parts. Selections are:

-Meshuggah - Bleed (Solo from a live performance)
-Steely Dan - Do it Again
-Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
-Little Wing - Live version by Guthrie TrappChord Voicings and Progressions

Probably the most important way to use songs as a growing musician, as a means to practice and enhance your own ability and creativity. We will go over songs that contain sections that are perfect to use as a backing track, or contain interesting things you can quickly grab and make your own. Selections are:
