Rock Soloing Series
15 Lessons Covering What You Need to Know to Solo like a Rock God
A lot of great content but a lot of old videos.
Potential
This series has a lot of potential and could be really fun for myself and students. I'm thinking live classes where I learn and dissect solos each week.
Start with either: Symphony or Rock You Like a Hurricane

Summer Song - Landing Page Started - Strange location - Live Stream folder (not members live stream)
Rock You Like a Hurricane
These need to be organized in order of difficulty.
Which lessons are the best to sell series/course? (should have good quality video and breakdown notation files)
- Master of Puppets (2 string arpeggios)
- Sultans of Swing (2 string arpeggios)
Maybe a lesson on improvising using scales and arpeggios. I have a few done now. Find them and list them here:
Note: 2 videos per section looks much better then 3 as far as video thumbnails are concerned.

Bending
What bending is, how to practice bending and 2 cool rock riffs with bends
Rock Riff #2
Short 1 measure classic rock riff with bending and pentatonic shape.
This will be the best video quality of the bending lesson and should be used on the sales page (aka. lead magnet/landing page).
What number or level these lessons go still has to be figured out. This lesson will need to go after basic bending lesson (should be called Intro to Bending).
