Bluegrass Guitar Lesson: Noticing Tension with Chris Eldridge
Playing an instrument is a very physical activity. Despite the fact that, as musicians, we’re often seated or standing in one stationary position when we perform or practice, playing an instrument can take a physical toll on your body. Muscular tension, in particular, can cause problems that can not only cause injuries but also impact your performance, dexterity, and ability to play fluidly on your instrument. Fortunately, issues caused by muscular tension can be avoided through mindful practice and focus to keep your body relaxed while playing.

Blues Rock Guitar Lesson: Blues Power Vibrato Techniques with Jared James Nichols
As we begin the process of learning how to play a new instrument, most of us strive to emulate the tones, styles, and approaches of our musical heroes and the master musicians we admire. As we progress along the musical journey, most players begin to evolve and develop their own style and voice on their instrument. For guitarists, vibrato and one’s approach to the technique can act as a sonic fingerprint and plays a critical role in every stage of the learning journey. Whether you’re a beginner chasing the tones of your favorite rock guitar god, or you’re a more advanced player focused on developing your own unique sound, vibrato is an essential technique on which to focus your energy and attention.
