| Jean Marc Belkadi coached Dweezil Zappa for his Zappa Plays Zappa Tour Full article click here "All in the Family" By Darrin Fox "I also took lessons from players such as Jean Marc Belkadi and T.J. Helmerich. It was like Guitar University here! And I worked with Brett Garsed, who showed me how to incorporate the fingers of my picking hand to get to some of the wide intervals in Frank’s music that I couldn’t get to with a pick. I use that technique to play “Black Page #2.” I also took some lessons from the late Ted Greene to round out my knowledge of chords and harmony. |

"The brilliant Los Angeles guitarist and
instructor Jean-Marc Belkadi has, as he’s done
with so many guitar approaches, refined dozens
of cool ways to use pentatonics. One thing he
likes his students to explore is stringskipping
lines such as Ex. 12. And, as shown in Ex. 13,
Belkadi often handles string skips the smart,
convenient, “hybrid” way—by plucking the
higher string with the picking hand’s middle
finger. Notice that this last example has a
hemiolic three-against-four pick/hammer/pluck
cycle. Keep it in 4/4 (i.e., don’t lose track of the
downbeats), and it will retain its jagged,
unpredictable sound." page 93

Sensei to the Stars:
You don’t have to be an amateur guitarist to
need guitar lessons. Even the pros like a good
schoolin’ now and again. And if you’re a
professional guitarist, singer, or actor in the
Los Angeles area who’s fishing around for a
guitar teacher, it probably won’t be long before
someone refers you to Jean-Marc Belkadi. Like
his mentor, the late, great guitar genius Ted
Greene, Belkadi is quickly emerging as one of
the most in-demand and respected guitar
instructors ....

The concept of The Composite Blues
Scale for Electric Guitar
is to show the guitarist how to improvise
and compose with the composite blues
scale over the dominant, major, minor 7th
and Minor 7th b5 chords. This is a
necessary book for the modern guitarist
who wants to improve his chromaticism and
Blues vocabulary by understanding the
connection between the chromaticism and
the blues scale in different music styles:
Jazz, Rock, Funk, Fusion, Pop and Latin.

SWEEPING AWAY THAT BORING LEGATO SOUND November 2011 Guitar Player Magazine issue P.130
GP’s favorite prodigal son Jude Gold delivered this knowledge. “The easiest way to add zip to an
ascending three-notes-per-string scale is to pick only the first note on each string and hammer the
two that follow. The problem with this highly legato strategy, though, is that it results in a
predictable and repetitive sound. Southern California guitar sensei Jean Marc Belkadi has
noticed a clever way to liven things up without slowing you down: Play every third picked note as
the first note in an upward sweep of the pick that drops you back down three strings. When you
finally reach the highest string (bar 2, middle of beat two), descend back down the scale as shown”.
