Mike Ruggiello Guest Lessons

A daily chromatic warm-up, a three-note blues riff, three blues licks in A, a four-finger pull-off lick in E minor and a two-string tapping groove.

What you will be able to play

• Warm up every day with a chromatic one-finger-per-fret exercise and a metronome.
• Fret with the fingertips in the middle of the fret space, with a relaxed, spread hand.
• Play a three-note blues riff in time and change to a moving three-string chord shape.
• Play three blues licks in A minor with anchored bends, a double pull-off and a palm-muted flick.
• Play a four-finger pull-off lick in E minor from the 17th fret to the 12th, and an octave lower.
• Play a two-string tapping lick as a steady rhythmic groove.

Is it for you?

Players who can already fret single notes and pick a steady rhythm and want a few practical ideas from a different teacher: a warm-up routine, an easy blues riff, then blues and rock licks. The warm-up and the three-note riff suit late beginners; the blues licks, pull-off lick and tapping groove need bends, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Not a step-by-step method, and not for players who need every lick tabbed out.
