Modern Method for Guitar Vol 3

[dcontoyannis]

I started working on Vol 3 recently and thought I'd share my progress as I go in case it is helpful to others. I'll stick with posting the duets and solo etudes, and spare you the scales and arpeggios!


Here is Melodic Rhythm Study No. 8 (duet), pg. 18

A Minor Etude, pg. 31

Recognition of Melodic Degrees (pp. 33-34)

I found these exercises to be pretty enlightening in terms of connecting the fretboard. These chord exercises are challenging for me to play smoothly, but I feel like there's hope with more practice. Really enjoying this book so far. At my current rate of study, I'll finish it in about 5 years

Chord Construction - 3 Note Voicings (pg 41)

Another chord extension exercise, played on this Epiphone ES-175 Premium that I picked up a few months ago.

Nice! I haven't made it all the way through vol 2 - I make progress for awhile and then stop and then re-start at the beginning. I hope to one day get to vol 3, so I do appreciate your posts here!

I can relate - it can be slow going. I try to work on this book at least a few minutes per day even if I'm not feeling motivated. Some days I get into it, other days it feels like homework. Well worth it though! I'll keep posting, but you very well may catch up with me at the rate I'm going these days.

I wouldn’t restart at the beginning. Just pick up where you left off, the dust will shake itself off.
