More so than any other instrument, the electric guitar presents guitarists with a seemingly endless range of right and left-hand techniques to embellish their rhythm playing, solos, and improvisations. What are all of those techniques? How do you play them? Why is important for you to know them? And how do they appear in tab or notation?
There’s no one better qualified to answer all of those questions than Chris Buono, our Professor of the Deep. Chris does exactly that and more in this Electric Guitar Technique and Notation Handbook — the definitive video reference guide on the subject!

For each of the 65 techniques in the handbook, Chris will first describe the method emphasizing why it's important for you to know it. Chris will then demonstrate the technique, show you how the notation will look in standard notation and tablature, and give you some tips for practicing the technique.

Chris organized the 65 techniques into the following 10 sections. :

Section 1: Strumming Techniques
Downstrokes, Upstrokes, Brush Stroke, and Scratches
