Pat Metheny Guitar Etudes - Warmup Exercises for Guitar
Anyone have this book? I was looking at it at a store the other day. It is all warmup exercises but I am sure there has to be some "musical" knowledge in each example? I would have no idea where to start in analyzing what is going on harmonically or melodically.
The question is, what exactly can be achieved by a musical analysis of someone's warm-up exercises? The context of warm-ups is physical, not musical, however nice they sound.
They're not exercises as such they are Pat's transcriptions of his warm ups during a seminar tour.
There's no real structure to them but they are interesting in that they are mostly warm ups for the brain more than the fingers
