I am also pleased to announce that after much demand, the app has now also been released for mac desktop! To download, click the link here to go to the Mac App Store.

There are plans to release this app for the PC platform very soon, more news to follow…

Featuring over 50 exercises, 20 high quality video demonstrations and over 25,000 words of detailed explanations including a section on how to practice along with all relevant theory, this app covers the legato, two-handed tapping, alternate picking and sweeping techniques – an essential resource for all students and fans of legendary modern rock players such as Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Tony Macalpine, Jason Becker, John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert.

Featuring a fully interactive interface with all the practice tools you need, including a metronome, timer, looper, tablature and video player. There is also a dedicated practice section where you can save your favourites, and start building your own custom routines based on your goals and available practice time.

Unique scale generators present both the 7-position/3-notes-per-string scale forms, as well as the more traditional 5-position or CAGED/EDCAG system. With a host of interactive on-screen buttons to switch from position to position, or to view any position from any modal perspective, all scale and arpeggios are viewable either as note names, intervals or fingerings. The layered design of the CAGED system generators will enable you to toggle through, clearly seeing the chord/scale relationships, as well as easily identifying the additional modal notes within the familiar pentatonic frameworks.

Aimed at intermediate to advanced students and players who are looking to develop and maintain their technical skills and knowledge within the modern rock style, this app presents a progressive roadmap with advanced concepts approached by building key underlying skills.

The first solo 1 is based around the A harmonic minor/E Phrygian dominant sound, with Yngwie showcasing his trademark classically-influenced vocabulary of sweep arpeggios, alternate picked scale passages and screaming vibrato. The second solo 2 is played over a twelve bar progression in E, and is based around a Jimi Hendrix inspired vibe which Yngwie enjoys improvising over, often playing Spanish Castle Magic at his shows. This solo features some great E minor pentatonic playing, combined with some E Dorian and chromatic ideas, and demonstrates Yngwie’s hot rodded approach to the blues.

I’m pleased to present the un-edited video improvs for solos 1 and 2, along with solo transcriptions in Guitar Pro and PDF format, as well as the same backings Yngwie himself played over! (transposed down to E for convenience). Follow this link to go to the Special Features page, where you can see the lessons and download the whole package for free!

See my first solo study “On the Beach” here! Inspired by players like Reb Beach and in general hard-rock players of the mid to late 1980′s with an emphasis on legato, tapping and bending/ vibrato techniques and which is viewable for free and is sold as a package including HD videos of the solo at full speed, half speed, 10 minute long breakdown video lesson, all tabs as Guitar Pro files as well as PDFs, and a set of backing tracks at different speeds to be used as you work through the study. Gear wise, i used my customised Ibanez RG550 Ltd with a DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge and Air Norton in the neck, into an Axe FX-II set up with a Marshall JCM800/Tubescreamer type sound and then through a Matrix GT1000FX poweramp into a pair of CFR12′s for monitoring and via an apogee ensemble soundcard direct to Logic. For video, a canon 60D with a 50mm/ 1.4 lens into FCPX for editing.
