Monday, February 2, 2009. Before going to much further, let’s review. First, make sure you know the five positions of the major scale inside and out. Here is a chart of these 5 positions with the notes of the relative dominant scale marked with open “O’s”.

Musical Musings: Back to the Woodshed

http://ebmusicman.blogspot.com/2008/05/back-to-woodshed.html

Saturday, May 31, 2008. Back to the Woodshed. I highly recommend playing this exercise on all six strings. With my own playing, I’ve found that I can play cleaner on the middle strings, but sometimes I’m a little choppy on the high E. Playing on all strings remedies this problem.

Musical Musings: Billie's Bounce, Part 1

http://ebmusicman.blogspot.com/2008/03/billies-bounce-part-1.html

Saturday, March 29, 2008. Billie's Bounce, Part 1. I’ve decided to divide this 48-bar solo in 12-bar sections, so I’ll be covering it over four different posts. Here's the transcription of the first 12 bars:. As mentioned above, the chord progression to Billie’s Bounce is essentially blues in F. However, there are a few minor reharmonizations or chord changes I’d like to note. Compare the two progressions:. Here is the complete solo analyzed:. I really like this solo because of its simplicity. One of...

Musical Musings: Using patterns in real musical contexts – Part 1

http://ebmusicman.blogspot.com/2008/09/using-patterns-in-real-musical-contexts.html

Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Using patterns in real musical contexts – Part 1. Practicing patterns are great because they add variety to your lines, helping to prevent you from sounding as if you are just running up and down scales. But there is a lot to be said for selecting the right patterns. The first group works well for speed, while the second group generally tends to contribute more to creativity and variety. Guitarists such as Guthrie Govan are masters of this second group. Consider the followi...

Musical Musings: Rhythmic Groupings - Part 2: Changing the Base Time

http://ebmusicman.blogspot.com/2010/05/rhythmic-groupings-part-2-changing-base.html

Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Rhythmic Groupings - Part 2: Changing the Base Time. After getting the basics down from Part 1, the next step is to change the base time in which each note grouping is played. As a side note, if you have trouble playing through a particular pattern from Part 1 (i.e. Sixes), try playing each group of six 4 times before moving on to the next grouping of six. Anyway, groups of three, for example, naturally lend themselves to a triplet feel. Then try accenting just on the whole beats.
