ACPG Solos: Next Level

9th March 2024 by Adrian Woodward

I’m really pleased to announce the release of my new course. It’s an epic soloing course that has been nearly two years in the making, and I’m excited that it’s finally ready to see the light of day.

ACPG Solos: Next Level is, as the name would suggest, all about taking your soloing and improvisation skills to the next level. This is a follow-up to my first beginner soloing course which some of you may have completed. But you don’t need to have seen that course in order for this one to make sense, since it’s very much a stand-alone thing.

This course is aimed at intermediate-level players. I know ‘intermediate’ can be quite a vague term, but the starting point for this course is a place where I think a lot of players find themselves: you can play pretty well, you know all the basics, but you’re lacking knowledge and confidence; maybe you feel a bit stuck and directionless. The idea is that by the time you’ve completed the course you’ll to be able to solo confidently all over the fretboard, in different keys, and in a wide range of musical styles and situations. My aim is to give you a clear and structured plan of action. The nice thing about this format is I’m able to slow down and explore things in a more relaxed, detailed way than I’m able to in my one-off weekly YouTube videos. It’s an epic series of lessons, but all organised in a logical, progressive and inspiring way.

This is a self-paced, online video course, that’s separate from the content on my YouTube channel and Patreon page. More information including a full breakdown of the course curriculum can be found here.

My Best Friend’s Girl

17th January 2023 by Adrian Woodward

This week I’m looking at an all-time classic, My Best Friend’s Girl by The Cars. This one is so epic in terms of the guitar parts that I’ve given it the full 2-part treatment. In the first video I look at all the rhythm parts and fills then, in part 2 I look at Elliot Easton’s awesome guitar solo.

There should be something for everyone in this one. The basic rhythm parts are quite easy and satisfying to play. Then we have Easton’s solo and rockabilly-inspired rhythm parts which are much more challenging. Here’s the link to the lesson page.

Hope you enjoy it.

Zodiac Toys

21st March 2022 by Adrian Woodward

My new album

Zodiac Toys Album

I’m pleased to announce the release of my new album, recorded under the name Zodiac Toys.

Sonically speaking it’s a little bit of a departure from my previous releases. It’s instrumental, experimental, and inspired by my love of Brian Eno, German Kosmische music and guitar heroes such as Robert Quine and Tom Verlaine. 

Check it out on Bandcamp

You can download or stream from all the usual places (Spotify, Apple Music), or if you’re a vinyl enthusiast, there’s a super limited edition of 300. This is a top-quality pressing on heavyweight vinyl, manufactured at the former EMI pressing plant in Hayes, West London. Details of how to buy this can be found at the Bandcamp page.

I’ve also made a video for anyone interested in the creative process behind making the album.

ACPG Solos course

27th November 2021 by Adrian Woodward

https://courses.anyonecanplayguitar.co.uk

It’s been months in the making, but I’m pleased to announce the launch of my new beginner soloing course. With my weekly Youtube videos I rarely have the time to explore a subject in any real detail, so it’s been great to stretch out, and create a really in-depth, properly structured series of lessons.

I’ve tried to make this the kind of course I would have like to have had as a beginning guitarist. It’s aimed at anyone who wants to start soloing and with style and confidence. It’s primarily intended for beginners looking to start exploring electric lead guitar. But because of the detailed and comprehensive nature of the course it could also be of benefit to slightly more experienced players looking to really understand what they’re doing and fill in any gaps in their knowledge.

Visit the course page to find out more, and see whether or not the course is going to be right for you.
