Teaching you the first single from the brand new album ‘Hey Ma’, Larry gives you a veritable master class that even the most advanced players can learn from. Larry exudes passion for the music he plays, providing you with useful tips every step of the way. The main chords in the tutorial are fairly basic, however, Larry suggests many different variations of playing them and explains how these differences can affect the outcome of the track. For the beginners out there, he provides you with a helpful introduction to playing a simple chord pattern, which is bridged with single picked notes between each chord. Once practiced, this will improve your fret hand agility and accuracy with chord shapes. In addition, for those interested in string bending and using the whammy bar, Larry takes you through the basics and even demonstrates the techniques with the help of a backing track, encouraging you to experiment with your own ideas. Finally, there is an amazing section of the tutorial where Larry gives you the low-down on 12-String electric guitars, and highlights the benefits of this versatile instrument in “Whiteboy?. With almost half an hour of content, this is a great all-round tutorial, with enough depth and diversity of material to keep you going for ages.
