In order to master lead guitar playing, you need to practice various scales. The very basic scale to practice is C scale. Once you master the C scale you can practice other scales, and after enough practice your fingers will easily run on Guitar. It contains pure open notes & not flat or sharp notes. Following are the useful tips to play lead easily.
1) One of the useful tips to play lead easily is, you must know how to play the scale. You need to play the scale in open position at least 100 times and then shift to play scale in D, E and other notes in open positions.
2) Practice to play with your little finger also so that you can flexibly play any difficult lead songs like Pirates of the Caribbean or Game of Thrones themes.
3) Prefer to play pick having thickness of at least one 1mm.
4) Use alternate picking method i.e. UDUD or DUDU while playing the lead.
5) Do not only play on single string try to play any song on more than 2 strings on Guitar.
6) Practice themes like 'karz', 'Ajeeb Dastan hai yeh' songs more and more. These songs are specially made for Guitar. 😃
7) If you are an absolute beginner, don't try to learn by watching online videos. Learn scientifically from your Guru the techniques to master the lead.Once you learn enough practically from your teacher you can prefer online videos by professionals which will help you play the lead more easily.
8) It is also very essential to listen to the songs more & more and practice every line of the song for at least 100 times.
9) After you learn the song, record your video while playing so that you will gain some confidence to play in front of people. When you record a video camera is watching you, and under that pressure you need to play it correctly. You would have to take many retakes but because of this, you will get to more practice enough and you will be able to play the song very easily.
I am playing the guitar for more than 2 years and when I was absolute beginner, I used to practice the scale for a month. At first play your song slow as much as you can. Then slowly try to increase the speed. It will help you a lot to settle your fingers on Guitar and perfect the song. Practice is the key to success and there is no shortcut for it. You should have lots of patience to play, don't give up. Keep practicing until you success. Every beginner guitarist have to go through the pain. Your fingers will hurt while practicing but that is the only way.
To conclude, just keep practicing and practicing, have patience and you will definitely master the Lead Guitar. You can also check out my YouTube channel Avdhut Guitar Covers.
