He Is by Ghost - Acoustic Guitar Lesson

Here is my guitar lesson on how to play an acoustic version of 'He Is' by Ghost.

The song is taken from the band's 2015 release, 'Meliora'.

My transcription was based on both the album version and this live performance.

That’s all from me for a little while. I’m off to see family and friends in the U.K. and taking a much-needed break. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I have some YouTube lessons lined up so I’ll let you know when they get released. ⁣

⁣With the family move last summer, this year was really make or break for me. Fortunately it’s done what I needed it to do to really go all in when I’m back home. ⁣

⁣Just a HUGE thank you to everyone that has bought one of my courses or become a supporter on Patreon. Even those of who who have taken the time to comment or send me positive messages, know that it motivates me to keep doing the best I can. ⁣

I’m always locked away in my work room so it’s very rare that I get to share my playing with my children. I had a very special moment with my little one, Emi today that reminded me that I really should do it more often.

It’s another Chord of the Day for you. This one came from a filming session this week on the ol’ sus2 vs. add9 issue. It’s the subject of a YouTube lesson I’ve got coming up soon. Been working like a crazy this last few days getting some videos done to release whilst I’m away on holiday. More on that later. Enjoy! 👍🏻🙏🏻

A mini-lesson on the minor blues scale, used in this week’s lick video. If this is new to you, its a great first step to adding some more colour to your minor pentatonic scale and licks. The ‘blue’ or ‘blues’ note is a b5 (diminished 5th). Check out my latest video lesson on my YouTube channel for a great example. Link in bio @rynaylorguitar

Our 5-2 octave from the previous post can immediately become a 4-1 octave shape if we move the notes down a string towards the floor. Nothing changes here are we don’t have any note moving from string 3(G) to 2(B) 👊🏻👍🏻

Many of you have ask for a printable of the finger independence chart, so I’ve updated it with tabs and added it to my Patreon page. Link in bio @rynaylorguitar 👍🏻🙏🏻⁣

#TBT to STILL my most popular post EVER. This is still something I do every practice session. This is a great warmup exercise to work your finger independence. This grid is all the possible fingering combinations for playing a basic 1-2-3-4 pattern. Choose a combination and play it up and down the string sets. Use that metronome to keep good time! Credit to the master Guthrie Govan who was the first that I saw lay things out this way 👍🏻🙏🏻 This might be available soon on my Patreon page…just sayin’ 😉⠀⁣
