  • PICKING HAND GRIMOIRIUM by Byron Santo Is a Very Useful Working Tool for the Guitarist to Develop New Melodic Ideas and Compositional Insights and Directions
    c For 4, 5, 6 & 7–String Instruments Forward " I believe that THE PICKING HAND GRIMOIRIUM by Byron Santo is a very useful working tool for the guitarist to develop new melodic ideas and compositional insights and directions. It is an important conceptual contribution which respects the users intelligence and creativity and allows one the freedom to remain oneself musically while exploring unheard of possibilities for the guitar." ----NEY MELLO Preface The Picking Hand Grimoirium provides in one volume, the necessary exercises for the development of the picking hand for string instrumentalist of 4, 5, 6 or 7 string instruments. The exercises focus on the “micro” movements of the picking hand through permutations of strings and notes-per-strings. The musician can isolate, and then develop one specific picking hand movement with the exerecises. By using this method, it insures complete picking hand development before adding the fretting hand. Since the exercises are “micro” picking hand movements only, detailed attention can be placed on technique, tempo, rhythm, dynamics and consistent string attack for optimum picking hand development. The exercises can and should be applied to ALL picking techniques that the musician chooses in their form of expression such as free strokes, rest strokes, alternate picking, economy picking, hybrid picking, finger picking, tremolos, slapping, double thumping, plucking, etc. As the musician progresses through the various exercises, new picking patterns will be encountered that could aid the musician in composing new and unique ideas. The permutations in the Picking Hand Grimoirium were created by computer program developed by the author. This insures that ALL permutations of strings and notes-per-strings are included.

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).

  • Guitar Best Practices Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 Nafme Council for Guitar
    Guitar Best Practices Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 Many schools today offer guitar classes and guitar ensembles as a form of music instruction. While guitar is a popular music choice for students to take, there are many teachers offering instruction where guitar is their secondary instrument. The NAfME Guitar Council collaborated and compiled lists of Guitar Best Practices for each year of study. They comprise a set of technical skills, music experiences, and music theory knowledge that guitar students should know through their scholastic career. As a Guitar Council, we have taken careful consideration to ensure that the lists are applicable to middle school and high school guitar class instruction, and may be covered through a wide variety of method books and music styles (classical, country, folk, jazz, pop). All items on the list can be performed on acoustic, classical, and/or electric guitars. NAfME Council for Guitar Education Best Practices Outline for a Year One Guitar Class YEAR ONE - At the completion of year one, students will be able to: 1. Perform using correct sitting posture and appropriate hand positions 2. Play a sixteen measure melody composed with eighth notes at a moderate tempo using alternate picking 3.

  • Mike Moreno EMM Workbook
    Chapter V The Art of Picking Mike shares his picking concept and explains the importance of reaching for the sound in your head to guide your technical development rather than ascribing to any particular picking style. The Art of Picking “Every style, every player Mike insists that there isn’t one way to pick, nor is there - they all pick differently.” one kind of pick that will help you sound better. Mike points out that if you analyze various guitarists through- out history, there does not seem to be a concensus on picking methodology. Therefore, Mike explains that the key factor in understanding how to pick is understanding how you personally hear your musical ideas. Mike likes how horn players sound. He always knew that he wanted to emulate the legato and flow that horn players attain by blowing through their instrument with one breath. Mike wanted his lines to sound similar to this legato sound, so he devised his own picking style, a combination of sweep picking/economy picking and legato playing (hammer-ons/ pull-offs). Mike also utilizes more downstrokes when he wants to sharpen the attack and articulation of his notes. Mike recommends taking multiple bebop melodies or 8th note driven melodies and making them sound as clear, grooving, and articulate as possible. Experiment with different picking techniques according to how you want the melody to sound. Focusing on the sound in your head will guide you naturally through the process of discovering the best picking method for you. Elite Music Mentor Mike Moreno 70 The Art of Picking MIKE’S APPROACH & FINDING YOUR OWN APPROACH • Decide on the kind of sound you want to emulate (0:54) • Alter your picking technique according to this sound (1:49) • Experiment with sweep and economy picking (2:52) Refer to the next section for transcriptions.

  • Four Awesome Practice Templates for Guitarists
    FOUR AWESOME PRACTICE TEMPLATES FOR GUITARISTS Chordistry.com | [email protected] FOUR AWESOME PRACTICE TEMPLATES FOR GUITARISTS INTRODUCTION This short PDF is a guide to crafting an effective practice session. If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of different things you could work on or if you are having trouble making steady progress on the guitar, this guide will help. When I was first learning the guitar, this is the kind of guide I wanted, but never had. For the most part, I taught myself how to play. I had to figure out the nuts and bolts of the instrument on my own. I wished some- one would have made it simple to create and plan a practice routine. I learned later that having a quality, daily routine dramatically accelerates your playing proficiency. I imagine some of you are teaching yourself. This guide is for you. If you have a guitar teacher and need some additional help creating a solid practice plan, this guide is for you too. FORMAT Its nearly impossible to create a universal practice routine, one that will work for every guitar player ever. Your goals are different than mine. Someone who is just starting needs to work on things that an experienced play- er will have already mastered. Bluegrass finger-pickers will need to focus on material that a jazz guitarist may not need to know at all. With that in mind, I’ve created four basic practice templates, each one for a guitarist with a different focus. There are pieces that are common in each template because a healthy practice session requires them, but the majority of it is tailored to your unique approach to music and the guitar.
