Axe of Creation

Hello, my name is Gregory Bolomey, and I wield the Axe of Creation. What is the Axe of Creation, you ask? It is a splendid departure from the teaching norm... it is more than just shredding to the work of others, but learning to slay on your own. I would like to cordially invite you on a journey into your untapped creative subconscious. A Masters Degree in Live Performance; days in the studio mastering music; nights on stage with my band S.T.E.M. (stemny.com); and years spent teaching guitar players at all levels and disciplines... it has all left me asking why…? Why do some guitarists (even the pros), ROCK and others not? Turns out, the answer is simpler than you think... it's all about understanding. Our musical heroes understand the music that moves them --- lock, stock and barrel; they manage to channel this great energy to CREATE the music that moves us. It may have taken me a lifetime, but I tell you this... Gregory Bolomey understands; I understand how... and I know why... and guess what...? I’m ready to teach you. So, grab your axe and let’s do this…

This is an example of how I like to take a (bland) chord progression, spice it up with some new voicings and extensions, then use that progression as the foundation for a guitar riff. Outlining the chords as the riff moves forwards gives the riff some harmonic movement.
