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.
Can't you just try to be a bit nicer and more positive?
You've literally made over 9000 posts on this forum, and all I remember is negativity and grumpiness.
Just let the guy post what he is...
With careful use of the controls, I think the Cub sounds as good or better for jazz, pop, commercial, country and fusion. In its sweet spot, the BJ has the edge for blues. The Cub also does it all...
Has anyone else noticed that all the manufacturers seem to be discontinuing their 10 inch neo guitar speakers and the price for the remainder of the stock has more than doubled? The only 10 inch neos...
Messed with it in a few different spots. This was the only one that was playable for me really, so I recorded it. Maybe next lick I'll post a longer video of my whole process of figuring out where to...
Do you think the Quilter Aviator is better sounding than the Blues Jr IV?
I'm having really a hard time finding a tube amp that works (!) and sounds good.
The Fenders from the Custom 68 series all...
Somewhat related but TI strings are like magic sometimes. I got a Ibanez PM35 a couple months ago and it came with D'Addario strings on it and it was...eh. It sounded like an archtop I guess. I put...
My only real disappointment with my TM Twin Reverb is it lacks the feel of volume, if that makes sense, compared to my '65 TRRI or my '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. It almost sounds muffled to my ears.
Bridge bases are sanded to follow the contour of the top of the guitar at the right spot and correct angle for proper intonation. This allows maximum contact with the top for transmission of energy...
I tried some new supros side by side with a blues Jr. The Supros weren't what I was looking for, they sounded small and boxy. The Blues Jr. just sounded perfect, like all the guitar amps I knew...
You people ought to be ashamed of yourselves! I already have very nice guitars, but those are all so beautiful and I’m getting a little gassy. Please, please - no more...
I agree. I wasn’t clear in what I wrote. I scale my TM Twin down for similar reasons. However, I also play through a tube ‘59 Bassman RI with enough power to shake the nails out of my house. I...
No more 10" Neo Speakers?
