I have been practicing my slur (ligado) technique on classical guitar… using the Aaron Shearer book.
As I was doing exercises I thought, “some of these could make good sequences”. Then I started to try and apply them in a more jazz way. Not working so well.
I did a lot of problem solving and came up with some ideas. However I feel like the wisdom here far transcends my limited-ness.
The motivation for the book was to systematically address different slur fingering combinations. Each figure though is built with slurred notes within reach of each other. Pedal notes always add logic to a sequence. The bulk of these have a flow similar to enclosures. To me they make the most sense resolving to a chord indicated by an additional target note or notes. They also can form cool sequences by moving the patterns in various ascending or descending intervals. Harmonically speaking the starting and ending points define function. Now that you have assimilated these moves, not a bad thing to consider if they have any application outside of guitar gym class.
Thanks for the reply.
What gets me a bit questionned is the tube socket ?
I'm not sure an EL34 socket is the same as the 6V6, and moreover the 6L6?
Maybe an adaptator is needed ?
Koch's answer...
Apparently so. The user manual lists a few possible substitutes for the EL34, including 6L6, 5881 and 6V6. Your concern about this swap is exactly the reason I'm not doing it yet. I've sent in a...
I'm not sure I really understood. You can put a 6V6 in place of the EL34 right off the bat in this amp??
Thanks for all this great information. The Little Gristle got out of my interest for a while,...
I’d echo what @allenallen said about your amp. Admittedly I’ve not played through one but aren’t Fishman amps really specifically geared towards amplifying acoustic instruments?
Secondly, the...
Thanks so much for all of the responses. There's a lot to think about here and a lot of approaches and I will be revisiting this thread again and again. It'll give me new things to try and think...
My Campellone Special has exactly the same specs as a Gibson Johnny Smith. The scale, nut-width and body dimensions are all the same as a JS. Interestingly, the Campellone sounds more like my JS than...
Here's my first four measures, played slowly about 140 bpm. This is my brand new Cordoba Stage nylon-stringed amplified guitar. Played through a Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb, direct to the...
GuyBoden, thank you for this reminder. This is one of those things that can make a big difference if you are aware of it. It seems to me that less thumb pressure is always beneficial.
Playing live and getting the best sound from the...
