Fretboard Workshop: “Machinehead” Octaves
If you’re inclined to dive deeper into the world of
octave displacement, check out Oz Noy,
Matt Henderson, and Jean Marc Belkadi. Though
they’re each very different players, they take the
concept of octave displacement to the extreme
while still sounding musical.
You don’t have to be an amateur guitarist to need guitar lessons. Even
the pros like a good schoolin’ now and again. And if you’re a professional
guitarist, singer, or actor in the Los Angeles area who’s fishing around for
a guitar teacher, it  probably won’t be long before someone refers you to
Jean-Marc Belkadi. Like his mentor, the late, great guitar genius Ted Greene,
Belkadi is quickly emerging as one of the most in demand and respected
guitar instructors ... more here in Guitar Player

Quick Licks:
GP’s favorite prodigal son Jude Gold delivered this
knowledge. “The easiest way to add zip to an ascending
three-notes-per-string scale is to pick only the first note
on each string and hammer the two that follow. The
problem with this highly legato strategy, though, is that
it results in a predictable and repetitive sound.
Southern California guitar sensei Jean Marc Belkadi has
noticed a clever way to liven things up without slowing
you down: Play every third picked note as the first note
in an upward sweep of the pick that drops you back
down three strings. When you finally reach the highest
string (bar 2, middle of beat two), descend back down
the scale as shown" Full article in

Offset tricks. You can play a composite blues scale over other chord types, too. The
trick is knowing how to offset the scale root in relation to the chord root in relation to the
chord root. (It can be tricky to work out these associations, so be patient and go slowly.)
For Instance, over a minor 7th  chord, play the composite scale located a fourth higher.
To improvise over
Dm7 (D-F-A-C or 1-b3-5-b7), for instance, you’d play
a
G composite blues scale (G, A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, E, F). Notice how, in addition to
Dm7’s chord tones, the G composite blues scale offers G, Bb, B, Db, and E. If you relate
these notes to
Dm7, you get the 4 (G), #5 (Bb or A#), 6 (B), 7 (Db or C#), and 9 (E).
EX.4 is a G  composite blues line played against Dm7. Guitar Player article Here

Gavin Rossdale "Our reviews improved once we stopped selling records"

...Angry, but it’s still got the trademark sense of melody. I’ve never
forsaken the top lines. The melody is usually really hard to find over riffs,
usually you’re singing over one fucking note! But I always try, that way you get
replayability and connection. I like bands like Shellac and System Of A Down,
but for me it’s natural to write and sing melodically.
I do try to be learned about music more. I take guitar lessons…
Guitar lessons? I’ve got an amazing guitar teacher called Jean-Marc Belkadi.
He teaches everyone here in LA, from the top session players to kids.
We jam and play and I learn stuff. Music is strangely infinite –
there are so few notes and yet so many formulations and possibilities.
It still blows my mind.... by
Grant Moon
