Before you can free the music in yourself, you need to clear the roadblock that is holding you back from expressing the music freely. Many guitar students struggle with their freedom of expression when playing blues solos, mainly because they believe that ‘blues is an easy style’ and because of this they never focus on blues guitar technique. This mistake causes the student to only get partial results when improvising and lays also at the root of why many struggle to play blues guitar solos effortless. How To Take Your Mind Of Guitar Technique Guitar technique should be practiced in order to take your mind of technique. Once you focused on the right exercises then you will find yourself in a place where you don’t have to actively think about technique anymore (even when playing the most challenging passages, licks, riffs or solos).

  • How to Become a Fingerstyle Guitarist Guitar Giveaway Live Webcast September 29Th, 2018
    How To Become a Fingerstyle Guitarist Guitar Giveaway Live Webcast September 29th, 2018 By: Erich Andreas YourGuitarSage.com Click Here to Watch the Free Beginner Series Click Here for $1 Access to UGS & 365 Course Introduction The guitar is a little orchestra.” – Segovia Finger style guitar is a style of guitar that is based on the plucking of strings with fingers instead of using a plectrum/pick. The lovers of this style of guitar will be quick to tell you of the joy and peace that they derive from their instrument while playing this style and talk often of the intimacy that they experience that is not possible with the guitar pick alone. Not only do the above merits ring true for those who take a moment to understand this remarkable style of guitar playing, but playing with the fingers allows the musician to play “controlled” polyphonic/multiple note music, which is not otherwise attainable with standard guitar pick styled playing. Have you ever attempted finger style guitar? When you did attempt it, did you feel like you had a claw instead of a hand? Did your mind and fingers get all tangled up in the strings? Do you know which fingers should pluck which strings? If you feel like I’m, “in your head” in regards to these questions, that’s because everyone feels this way at first when attempting this style, and most people ask the same exact questions. There was a time that I too felt this way, however, with time, helpful instruction and proper practice, finger style guitar became a large and very enjoyable part of my guitar playing.

  • Fingerpicking
    Back to Directory Page Fingerpicking FINGERPICKING is the use of one’s fingers to strike or pluck the strings instead of using a pick (plectrum). This technique is widely used in classical, flamenco, Spanish and folk music; however it has also been used in nearly every genre of music - including pop and rock. Fingerpicking allows the player to be more selective regarding what strings should sound when playing the guitar polyphonically (multiple simultaneous notes). For example, if I want to play an E minor chord, but don’t want the fourth and fifth strings to sound, I would either need to mute them or just not play them at all. If I were strumming the guitar you can see how playing the same chord without the fourth and fifth strings might be awkward. However, with the use of fingerpicking I can pick strings one, two, three and six easily. That’s a very simple explanation of the myriad of possibilities that only fingerpicking will allow. Fingerpicking also has its own distinctive sound. When reading music that uses fingerpicking, you may see the term “PIMA” or the initials P, I, M or A used. PIMA is an acrostic for the thumb and the first three fingers of the right hand. Because of its length, the pinky is often times not used. PIMA is often used to indicate which fingers to use in picking. The traditional Spanish words that we derive those letters from are: Pulgar = Thumb Indice = Fore Finger Medio = Middle Finger Anular = Ring Finger I know! I don’t speak Spanish either.

  • Take Your Pick: an Exercise in Material Selection Richie Anfinsen and Jack Desousa
    December 2019 The Madison Group TMG News December 2019 Take Your Pick: An Exercise in Material Selection Richie Anfinsen and Jack DeSousa Introduction From the stadium rock star, to the jazz club guitarist, to the folk mandolin player or to the person breaking out a guitar around a campfire to sing Wonderwall. They all likely have one thing in common: a guitar pick. While there are many different styles of playing guitars that do not use a pick, many guitar players will find themselves in this scenario: you have picked up a guitar, you are ready to play, you reach for the guitar pick you want, but you cannot find it...you find some other guitar pick, but it is not THE Figure 1 – There are many different sizes, shapes, thicknesses, texture, and materials for guitar pick that you guitar picks. wanted to use! So what do you do? While this scenario does not stop someone from playing guitar, many non-guitar players might be surprised to learn about the vast number of different sizes, shapes, thicknesses, textures, and materials a guitar pick can be made from (Figure 1). It is interesting to think that in such a seemingly simple product, many different design decisions are being made that result in a variety of end products. This article will focus on the materials utilized and how they affect the ability of the finished product to create a sound that guitarists are looking for. Design and Materials The guitar pick is a product that can greatly benefit from the unique properties of plastic materials.
