In this course Andy and Mike take a deep dive into the playing style and techniques of some of the greatest guitarists of all time and look at what we can learn from these players.

We particularly focus on how the following key learning points;

• Playing rhythm and lead at the same time - aka Rhythmic Lead Playing

• Signature licks, songs and techniques

• Fretboard shapes and theory behind the licks

• How to apply these concepts to your own playing

Song examples are also given throughout to show practical real world examples of the topics being discussed.
