Modern Guitar | Tyson V
This channel is for beginner and intermediate guitarists who are tired of the old-fashioned way of learning — the stale, uninspiring approach that makes most players quit.
Here, you’ll explore modern techniques like alternate picking, legato, sweep picking, muting, and melodic phrasing — all explained in a way that’s simple, practical, and fun.
Guitar isn’t about following rules. It’s about creating your own flavor, developing your unique style, and making music that feels alive.
My goal is to help you write memorable solos, craft expressive licks, and rediscover the joy of playing — breaking free from the pentatonic rut and the outdated “one right way” mindset.
I’m Tyson Vanzie, and I’ve been writing and teaching guitar for over 20 years in the modern metal and fusion style. I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned and help you make guitar your own. Thank you for checking out the channel!

Hey guys. I was wondering if I could get some help. I’m planning on starting another series after I’m finished with the modes, but I’d love to hear from you as to what I should cover next. Please take a second to vote but only if you really feel strongly about one of these topics!
Note *. I can only provide 4 options in the poll so if you have a suggestion please feel free to comment!

GUITARISTS! I need your help.
I have been messing around with video formats and I need some feedback on this video. I'm trying to figure out if the pacing, concepts and examples fit with my audience. Do you watch this video and have your head explode with concepts that are too complicated, or does everything make sense and the video changes your life.
Please let me know so I can adjust for future videos and continue to bring you guys content that you love!
