SECTION ONE:
Guitar-Pops Vastly Different Writing Styles & Performance Directions...
IN GUITAR-BASED POP THE GUITAR IS FRONT AND CENTER:

Guitar-Based Pop music is a huge musical genre that might include the gloomy sounds of
bands like The Cure, all the way to the echoed driving guitar grooves of U2. Dating all the way
back to the 1970s we had Guitar-Based bands like Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles. In the
1980s we had groups like Queen and Bryan Adams. And, in the 1990s there were guitar-pop
bands like Ace of Bass and The Cranberries.
To compare all of these groups on one single platform or, on one musical approach, would
obviously be quite diffcult since they each have very diverse writing styles. However, in
making a lesson plan covering Guitar-Based Pop I can give a general overview of how the
bands within this style approach their guitar theory. I will include everything from scales, to
chord use, to performance and even recording techniques.
Within the style of playing Guitar-Based Pop we fnd vast differences in how the bands will
approach both their; theories regarding writing, as well as, their musical arrangements. The
bands in this style will often be very different in their performance & recording styles. Some
groups might use a lot of additional guitar layering, some bands might include synthesizers,
or a good deal of guitar effects, such as delays, thick reverbs, and long echoed choruses.
One thing that is important, (which really sets this style apart), is how the guitar is applied front
and center in the songs. From the writing, to the recording and live on-stage, Guitar-Based Pop
places the focus upon keeping the guitar as the primary direction. Spend time exploring the
ideas presented in this lesson. There is a lot here to experiment with during your next
composing or recording session, so take the time to try out a few of these concepts!

SECTION TWO:
Working with Scale Segments for Playing Single-Note Lines...
In my initial examples I wanted to get started with a quick overview covering the importance
of knowing some scale pattern segments upon the neck. Many of the guitar players in groups
performing Guitar-Based Pop will use simple guitar melodies in their songs. While it may not
be vital to have a complete command of the fret-board, like a jazz guitarist must have with their
scales, small scale outlines should be made familiar for playing melodic ideas in this style.
Example #1). A Minor Scale ascending & descending on the upper strings. 4th position.
In example #2, Ive changed the layout of the scale covered in example #1. However, in the
new layout Ive maintained the exact same notes. This is perfect to practice for guitar players
who want to play a few basic scale lines in their songs, but may not have a desire to spend
hours upon hours learning all of the scale shapes across the entire guitar neck.
Example #2). Alternate version of the same A Minor scale from example #1... different shape.

SECTION TWO cont...
In example #3, I introduce the A Major scale. We are studying compartmentalized scales for
having awareness of smaller, more manageable sections of the full scale shapes. Youll notice
in most of the solos and melodic statements found in guitar-based pop there are generally only
a small sections of a scale used to create the riffs or lines.
Example #3). Practice this, A Major scale, in the 4th position off of fourth guitar string.
In example #4, I have a second small scale pattern for the A Major scale. Once again, just as
with the examples using Minor, the second pattern with this Major scale uses the exact same
notes as the pattern seen in example #3, except with this pattern in example #4, Im in another
region of the neck with the same notes. This is very important to comprehend with our
instrument, since we are able to produce unison note locations around the neck.
Example #4). Practice this, A Major scale, in 7th position, off of the 4th guitar string.

SECTION TWO cont...
Starting in example #5, Id like to switch things up over toward the sounds coming from the
world of arpeggios. I have demonstrations for these examples similar to what weve just
covered with scales off of the 4th guitar string. So, lets begin with an A minor triad arpeggio in
the 5th position - the frst shape is in 5th position, off of the 4th string. The second shape is
applying these same unison notes, and will be found in the 7th position.
Example #5). Make a study of these, A Minor triad arpeggio, segmented shapes.
In example #6, the quality of the arpeggios has been fipped over into their major quality. The
frst pattern is in the 5th position, built from the 4th string. The second is in 7th position.
Example #6). Make a study of these, A Major triad arpeggio, segmented shapes.

SECTION THREE:
Rhythm Guitar Parts Found in Guitar-Based Pop Music...
In example #7, I wanted to have a look at chords & harmony to show how players can
apply a series of chords that really lean into the style of Guitar-based Pop. Youll probably
notice that this style does two unique things when it comes to the use and application of chords
& harmony. The frst thing is the background chord sets tend to be fairly sparse. The second
thing, is how well often see chords that get used together which are not from one constant
diatonic harmony. They might blend, become modal or even include chords that are displaced.
Example #7). Practice this sparse harmony. And, just for fun - try and invent another solid
grooving bass-line part under this set of chords.
In example #8, I have another set of chords in a typical rhythmic groove found in this style.
The chords start-out looking as if they are from a harmony out of an initial key center of
D Major. Even though the progression loops through pushing the, D major, sound at the frst
measure, the chords are actually all diatonic and theyre all from the key signature of, A Major.
This is an extremely common idea for chord progressions used in guitar-based pop music,
where the chord progressions might seem, (at frst glance), as not being in one key, yet upon
further analysis, they are actually all diatonic. In this case, A Major.
Example #8). Practice this tight background chord-shot rhythm guitar idea.

Guitar-Based Pop Music
Page (6)
SECTION FOUR:
Guitar Riffs Used in Guitar-Based Pop Music...
In example #9, I will be moving over to the melodic side of playing with a focus on riffs. The riffs
in Guitar-Based Pop, more often than not, tend to operate on low & mid guitar strings. The riff I
have in example #9, focuses on creating a slow moving melody found on the fourth string.
Example #9). Practice this key of, A Minor, guitar-pop riff.
In my fnal example, I have another popular concept used in Guitar-Based Pop which is
performing a melody directly after the appearance of a chord.
The common application of this idea will have a chord played with a melodic statement
performed directly after it. And, quite often, well fnd the chords used will stay within one
harmony. The reason for this will be that the melody-line that is created will quite commonly
stay the same, as the chords change along the way.
Example #10). Practice this key of, D Major, guitar-pop melody /riff.
