Truefire Tim Pierce’s Rock Artist Inspirations TUTORIAL

Seminal Soloing Techniques Inspired by Rock Legends
Hey this is Tim Pierce, and I’d like to welcome you to Rock Artist Inspirations.

In this edition, we’re going to examine four legendary rock guitarists, all of whom made significant contributions to the vocabulary, rhythmic approaches and soloing concepts that influenced the generations of players that followed them.

We’ll start, very appropriately, with Jimi Hendrix. I’ll demonstrate 3 of my favorite Hendrix phrases, 4 rhythm and fills examples, and then we’ll dig into a soloing performance study inspired by Jimi.

Chris Cornell was AMAZING. Not only one of the best rock singers ever, he also wrote lots of our favorite riffs. I’ll show a few variations of the kind of drop D, blues influenced, power chord riffs that still sound timeless to me. Get your fuzz pedal out for this series of lessons!

Keith Richards inspired rhythm playing is deceptively simple but his right hand accuracy and syncopated feel is what we’ll focus on in this series of lessons.

Last, but certainly not least — David Gilmour! This multi-part Gilmour-inspired soloing lesson series features Pentatonic blues licks and deliberate, exaggerated bends over non blues changes. The changes are a bit challenging, but I’ll walk you through the logic for playing over them.

This course is a collaboration with my friends at TrueFire who helped me package this collection of lessons from a TPG Masterclass as a downloadable course with a variety of learning tools.

You’ll be able to download the course to any mobile or desktop device and work with it any time, online or offline. You’ll also have ready access to looping and slow motion tools, video sync, tab and notation, animated fretboard views, Guitar Pro files, backing tracks and more!

So grab your guitar, and let’s jump in!
