Lesson Info

In this series of lessons, we'll be learning the hit "Silent Lucidity" as made famous by Queensryche. This is an acoustic based, cinematic, and dynamic song that flows through a rich orchestral arrangement. It features some lovely arpeggiated guitar textures and a simple melodic guitar solo that plays more of a supportive role to the song. We'll explore acoustic guitar fingerpicking and arpeggiation, flatpicking on the acoustic, extended chords, and clean, chimey single note motifs. We’ll also talk about how all these techniques provide cool textures that seamlessly incorporate themselves into a dense orchestral production.
