the Building Blocks of Rock for guitar

Күн бұрын

The most common riffs and licks in classic rock are found in more than one song, just like chords. And like chords, they can be shown as simple shapes.
If you're tired of just strumming chords and practicing scales, take the next step, by learning a few of these basic riffs and licks. This video will show you how to use my free web app for guitarists, "The Building Blocks of Rock", a visual library of hundreds of the most common riff, lick, and chord shapes. I'll also talk about how we learned these things back in the old days (the early 1970's), before computers, videos, even tab.
You can find the app here:
guitarviz.com/bbr.html
It's not an app like you download from the Apple app store or Android Play. It's just a web page, so all you have to do is open it.
Please leave comments or questions!
cheers, Kevin

Agreed. I’ve been playing for only 44 years but I’m really looking forward to heading to the website when I get home. I am always learning, I only came across triads as a formalised concept a few years ago. Yes. I’ve been using them forever but having it laid out as a concept refreshed my writing and playing when I was definitely getting stale. I’m hoping this approach will too. And yes, I also know people are trying to make a buck but it’s incredibly refreshing to not have to at least hand over my precious data to get something I may only look at once. I hope YT sees fit to reward this chap, at least.

I’m 57 … started at 25 … played on and off …. I always reach for an acoustic guitar and try to play 10-15 minutes a day . best advice I ever got was , to trust that lights will come on as you progress…. shapes of chords will connect and trust that there are only 12 notes and they repeat up and down a string and across the neck … for some people like me and brian may and mark knoepler lol , we look at the intervals as a little math !! …. I base it from C where there are no sharps or flats , then in other keys you will see how the tone tone semi tone , tone tone tone semi tone … start to make sense….and sharps and flats are simply just like a measurement on a tape measure for example …. I used to be so intimidated by theory and now I just visualize shapes and chords and practice .

Just wanted to say here that what you have achieved here is fantastic, and hands down the most valuable tool I've found online whilst being completely free. I have notebooks full of scale, chord and mode fretboard diagrams I've drawn and coloured by hand from formula derivation, but riffs and licks, as you say, is the vocabulary picked up usually from watching others play. So a massive thankyou from me, plus a congratulations on being the first I've seen to create a riff typography like a musical archaeology doctorate. If you ever set up a tip-jar or anything like that, I'd love to buy you at least a coffee or a beer! All the best!

@@theBuildingBlocksOfRock My girlfriend is an archaeologist and was as excited to see this as I was, because you've captured that idea of things having a shared genealogy but no terms as such for them...and set to work on grouping or differentiating them by going through 'historical records', and yes, digging down into it to create a typology....much like the Oakeshott Typology for historic swords for example. Please note it is not a comment about age or music being out of date, very much complimentary and not insulting. Again, thankyou so much, absolutely wonderful, have already been using it today to learn things myself as well as teach a new guitar player.

Kevin's simple web app is undoubtedly the finest guitar-playing resource available. I'm confident in declaring this because Kevin truly understands that all music consists of common, boilerplate elements with sprinkles of uniqueness. Not only does Kevin name and categorize these boilerplate components, but he also provides references to songs that incorporate them. You're the man Kevin!

Thanks, mate. Releasing this for free is incredible. How information is displayed defines its usefulness. Many online resources are nearly useless due to their linear formats (hours long linear video series, pdfs etc). Learning is very rarely a linear experience. True teachers would do well to spend the time like you have to create learning tools, not mammoth books people will read once and forget most of.

It's not often these days that youtube will recommend me a video from a small channel I've never heard of before. But thankfully it recommended your video! Great idea, the 'blind spot' riffs/licks have in our guitar vocabulary is something I've definitely I've felt, almost on the tip of my tongue, but never really articulated as it just seemed the natural way of things. You've done a great job articulating it and I will certainly be checking out the app and subscribing to your channell!

Because it will. Anyone who knows about this stuff will spread the word and share. $5 is affordable and reasonable. You deserve something for all this hard work putting this together. What a gem this is!!! Consider a few bucks for the app... You deserve it! I think of all the people who shell out a few hundred for a guitar course that's confusing. This is how to do it! Learn some stuff and let the theory makes sense as you learn more. I can't praise this system enough!

Brother... I Love your App! I just found your channel, and I wish it could've been possible to see this 20 years ago. You laid out exactly how I learned guitar. I'm actually still learning, but I started at like 16, way back in 1993 or something. I progressed very slowly, as I didn't practice every day, plus I was alone in it. I sat with friends every once in a while. I put the guitar away when I had kids - around 2001, which gave me about 7 years of kinda playing. Fast forward to 2018, and I picked it up again. I remembered pretty much everything from before, but I sucked at implementing it. This time, I practiced every day, and the last 7 years I learned a whole lot more than I did the first 7 years, thanks to KZfaq! But, if I had your App, I would've probably cut most of that time. For me, this is the most intuitive way to learn how to find a voice on the guitar by learning how to combine chords with scales and modes... "The Building Blocks of Rock!" Thank you, Kevin!

I’ve been playing for a few years, i know my chords, scales, fun riffs and common licks and patterns. I can learn most marty schwartz tutorials in 10 seconds and i can learn things by ear. But getting past that is so difficult, as like you mentioned, licks and little riffs have no real names. I feel like i’ve been stuck for months not knowing what to learn… (i’ve been hearing the term intermediate plateau a lot). This webpage is exactly what i need to get further, thank you so much for your work! The visualizations are perfect, not exactly what to play but just patterns you can work with in all keys.

This is so cool. I can tell it's taken a lot of love and labor to make this app. And the fact that you're offering it for free is just over the top cool. I'd gladly have paid for this back in the day. Heck, I'd pay of now! I'm showing this to everybody!

Loved this ! Back to basics is always the key to great song writing. Thanks for the reminder.

For "our" (I learned by ear and friend too) type of learning, your visual approach is a great way to go, thank you for helping me to get the old axe out of its bag.

what an incredible recourse. I come from a hiphop jazz/bedroom producer/piano background but I've been learning guitar the past few weeks and this level of detail is so useful to me. I've never even went near the classic rock sound in my music but this info is so valuable either way. Big Thank you!

Simply brilliant. This will undoubtedly help anyone that stumbles upon it in the right stage of their guitar journey. The way you matched the riffs and licks to caged positions is the genius aspect to me. Thank you for the work you put into this!

Sir, thank you. This is right up my alley on how I tend to learn best. It's refreshing and you're a legend. Your methodology and making it a simple no sign up web app is incredible.

This is absolutely brilliant. I haven't started using it yet, but just the sheer idea of this is helping me anchor my ideas that had been a little detached.

Only 30 seconds into the video, and, I am familiar with all these licks, and have thought for a long time it should be documented and organized instead of painstakingly having to go hunt for them in tons of recordings and compiling the data by yourself. I really appreciate you did the work !

This is an excellent approach to rock guitar. I've been playing for 20 years, and this would've saved me a lot of time!
