Following on from the previous lesson this exercise introduces more notes to the pattern. This lesson is a filmed extract from part of the Contemporary Guitar Performance Workshop. This is an approach to the guitar which is independant of stylistic considerations, (or style specific techniques) or instrumental characteristics (electric, acoustic, or classical guitar). The approach is based on musical vocabulary, chords, scales, and techinques. It uses no repertoire, instead relying on the students musical taste and creativity to apply the exercises and ideas to their own musical taste, and develop their own ‘voice’ on the guitar.
