The power of the GHOST note.

There are notes that aren’t really “notes” at all… and they’re essential to becoming a great guitarist 🎸 Download TABs: https://www.dredimura.com/shop

Ghost notes, grace notes, and dead notes are the subtle articulations that make a performance feel musical. Whether it’s the scratchy funk of Nile Rodgers, sneaky slides in R&B, or the choked chugs of modern metal titans like Gojira & Spiritbox — these simple nuances give your playing feel, bounce, and momentum.

In this lesson, I’ll break down what each technique is, how to execute them all cleanly, and how to use them to add groove and animation to your playing. You’ll get 5 practical examples — across multiple genres — with slow and full-speed demos so you can start applying these exciting sounds immediately to your riffs and licks.
