Guitarist Composer Collection

Songwriting is arguably one of the most difficult concepts to master. But across three releases, Kenny Serane, Lari Basilio and Al Joseph combine to create a symbiotic collection that will build a rock solid platform for you to grow as a writer.

Lari Basilio - Creating Riffs and Melodies

If riffs and rhythms are the backbone of a song, the melody is the heart. Here, Lari delivers her step by step process of how she realises an idea. With two backing tracks at its core, this Masterclass shows you how you can add variety to your ideas, opening up pathways that help you form and finalise your own unique songs.

Over the tracks, Lari gives you examples of how she mixes up the rhythms, and with 40 exercises, and a host of riffs played both fast and slow, there is a lot to be inspired by within your own creative process.

Al Joseph - Ultimate Songwriting Masterclass

Stop the stumbles and take the spark all the way to the song. Al Joseph digs deep, then digs deeper, as he teaches you the aspects that allow composers to write songs, giving you the tools to do the same.

This huge exploration of what makes a song great, uncovers both the technical and more philosophical sides of composing. Working on motifs, advanced phrasing concepts, tension, releases, dynamics and more, this foundation cementing Masterclass is built around a pile of lessons, a group of exercises and a collection of notes within the track “Surgeon General”.

Kenny Serane - Lick Builder Masterclass Rock

The simplest ideas are sometimes the best. But taking that idea and transforming it into something even better is a challenge in itself. In this Masterclass, Kenny builds a lick and shows how with some flourishes and embellishments, you can create your own complete solos.

With 10 foundational ideas that put down the roots, it is the four variations of each lick that act as the vines. As you follow these vines, you’ll see how Kenny develops an idea, so that you can do the same.
