Beastly Guitar: Recent Episodes
Michael Socarras
Guitar Instructional podcast covering all things guitar in the genres of shred, heavy metal some blues and classical and maybe even a few more. I give tips, offer advice and suggestions so that you make your guitar playing journey a little bit easier. I like to make things a little less complicated and I believe that learning on YouTube is not always the greatest. I’ve been studying music for 20 years and I’ve studied with professional composer and guitarist George Bellas. I hope that this podcast helps you in every way possible! Onward we go!!

I teach you 2 ways you can practice synchronizing your hands to play and produce better tone. I also teach you the G melodic minor scale sixth mode
In this short lesson I give you some tactics on how to find your E notes. I also give you the E note locations on the guitar neck so that you can get started in knowing where your notes are so above every E is an F for example and that's how you can get to know your guitar neck through other notes.
Here in this episode I talk about some distractions that may be affecting you that you may not be aware of. The goal is to be aware of them and to play as much guitar as we want!
If you are confident in your playing you will play much better. I talk about confidence and how to get some of your own and how to build on top of the confidence that you already have.
I mention some classical guitar music that you can start off with and some fingerpicking exercises that you can start with for your right hand.
I show you what to look for when you’re studying a scale I also talk about the chords of e minor and several techniques that are good for studying a scale. This allows you to come up with riffs, ideas, and even solos that you didn’t know before - all over the neck!
Dominant chords are added into the mix so that you can get some cool exotic sounds out of your solos.

Hi play to some of the progression of the last episode on the electric guitar so you can view the sounds of the progressions.
Here I rant about how to many people care what other people think and are doing things because of what other people thought instead of doing things based on what you yourself think.
Pick any 4 notes from any key anywhere on the neck. You can come up with a variety of ideas, licks and even an entire solo if you wish.
I talk about recording with the help of an engineer instead of doing everything yourself.
In this episode I go over shape three and I shred a little bit. Share this podcast with whoever you think needs it or might benefit from it I will appreciate it greatly and it will inspire me to make even more podcasts all for free.
