    Hello,

    I decided to make and post one video every day through the month with some of the things that I have stumbled upon while studying scales, intervals, harmony and repertoire. Everything will be in relation to G Major, from scales and triads to voice leading and modern clusters, with various self-made as well as derived from the repertoire examples and explanations.



    It is a journal to practising, improvisation and composition and hopefully will help other people that have a similar mindset. It is also going to be a lot of very intensive work by my side and those who decide to join me.

    I´m looking forward to reading your thoughts and comments!

    keep exploring,
    Konstantine

    PS if there is interest I´ll keep posting the videos on this thread every day and If you want more detailed and intensive info, scores (where applicable), updates etc. you'll find them on my website:
    Konstantine Margaritis - 28 Things G Major

    PS2 I might be using a classical guitar and technique but the topics I´m going to cover about are universal and probably will be equally interesting for any style and type of guitar

    The new video is up and true to the form of all 28-things, the video on Triads in about learning and practising them in a diagonal array.



    free score available:
    Konstantine Margaritis - 28 Things G Major

    Do you like the change of angles, would like more of that or you prefer the camera to stay in the same position like on the previous episodes?

    The new video is up and is about voice leading on guitar:

    Three new episodes about voice leading, playing individual melodic lines in different voices, and three-octave arpeggios.







    These episodes conclude all the fundamental aspects of my "28 Things G Major" motif. On the following episodes, I will concentrate on adding extension notes as well as combining different intervals and chords to create more unique sounds. Although probably the second part of these videos would be more interesting for people of this forum. I could argue that having an excellent grasp of the fundamental elements of harmony (intervals, triads, voice leading) is more important!

    So, I hope I will see more interaction here.

    keep exploring,

    The new video is about the incomplete major seventh, or else some kind of shell voicings.
