Sambora does not always focus on solos,
so John spends time explaining his theory, rhythm and techniques. A key objective to master, and major tool of improvising is the diatonic ionian chord family.
If you wish to
incorporate that knowledge into your songwriting it will turn out more accessable to the public, more corporate rock, sort of like Queens sound.
A classical influence is more obvious in Queens compositions. Tuition times? The choice is
yours. Improvising, composing and creativity are Mizarollis power points and
he is more than happy to dedicate his lessons towards this artform.
This musical
area of corporate sounding commercial songwriting is much like writing hymns or nursery rhymes. You need to know all the cliches, a kind of rock & roll grammar if you like.
They may sound simple but if you cannot do it, then constructively question your root technical ability & musicianship as well as songwriting. If you are attending these guitar
lessons, it is a good foundation for learning to compose simple but great feel rock like Bon Jovi as well as for other music reasons.
