Hey Rusty, I love your passion and lesson style. I would love your take on building speed. I’m not talking shredding here, just how to play some of the faster licks you find in rock music.

G'day Rusty, Retired from Speedway Sidecar Racing due to a bad crash last year. So I decided to take up the guitar as a hobby. I purchased a Fender Telecaster and a Spark Amp as I love the blues and am very keen to learn. Question please: Where can I buy the guitar tabs for your courses as this is the only way I can learn solo as I'm now 79, I practice every day on the pentatonic scales but can't get out of this rut. Thank you Tommy F 666 Speedway Rider 😟

[@rustysguitar1]

Hey Tommy, sorry to hear about the crash but I’m certainly glad you’re playing the guitar. I don’t use tabs. I really believe that if you see it and hear it, you can play it. Watch close pause the video and try to copy it. Then it will stay in your brain forever. Thanks so much for checking out my lessons. Talk to you soon soon.👍

[@tommyfairley8202]

Thank you for the heads up Rusty, I will take your advice and just hang in there, I plan to follow along the lines of the root note you mentioned and parts of a chord being the key to soloing plus heaps of practice every day seems to be the way to go for an old coot like me. 😀 stay well !!
