• Palm muting
• Power chords
• Slides
• String bending
• Vibrato

Welcome to the 9th out of our 10 guitar lessons for beginners. In this edition, you will learn more lead guitar techniques, which you will, with time, be able to incorporate into your own solos and riffs:

• the correct use of the vibrato
• sliding in between notes
• string bending
• palm muting
• power chords

Practicing these techniques is very important, as you will be using in in many songs later on.

Keep in mind that the video teaches you the basic technique and how to implement it correctly, but practicing them is up to you. The old saying, "Practice Makes Perfect", is exponentially true for learning the guitar. Pick up your guitar whenever you have a chance and practice, this is the key to becoming good.

After finishing this guitar lesson, you could:

• move on to the final beginner guitar lesson on scales and improvisation,
• revise some of our free guitar lessons for beginners,
• learn some more advanced guitar song lessons, for example
