Diabolus in Musica vs. Amazing Funky Guitar Riffs

hey Guitarist,

Did you know that in the 1700s,
certain musical intervals
were actually BANNED by the Church?

Talk about political correctness,
sheesh... HAHAA..

But i guess these guys had a point,
some of the intervals do sound "evil".

They called the tritone interval
the Diabolus in Musica , or
"the devil in music".

(I have a funny story about
the devil that happened during
a gig I played many years ago,
but I'll save that for another email)

Anyway, about that tritone interval,
it sounds much more funky than evil
when it's part of a minor6 chord,
and you can use that chord to
create amazing sounding funky guitar
rhythms.

That's what today's video clip is
all about, as Matt Heulitt demonstrates
in a sample from his upcoming DVD course
called "The Complete Guitarist".

This is definitely one of the best "funky rhythm"
guitar lesson I've ever seen:

FUNKY RHYTHMS LESSON

Now, for those of you who want more
lead guitar lessons, don't panic...
There's lots of that too, and I'll
be sharing a lead guitar lesson
next time. After all, this is
the COMPLETE guitarist, right? ;)

11 Days till "The Complete Guitarist"
