Joshua Craig, frontman/producer for THE ALIEN BLAKK, has posted a free video from his new Instructional DVD. The video footage of Joshua Craig giving a free guitar lesson on The Phantom Scale, is below:

The video is a full six minute guitar lesson taken from his new book/DVD/CD set entitled Advanced Lead Guitar Concepts: Mindset and Theologies In Improvisation. Craig explores the scale he called The Phantom Scale which is a scale comprised of the notes that are between the in-key scalar notes built upon the major (and relative minor) scale as well as the approach and technique known as the "half step below approach" to lead guitar improvising.

The new book, Advanced Lead Guitar Concepts is a 140 page book.
