10 Essentials On Guitar Improvisation Photo by Simone13 AKA John Pastorello Besides writing and playing songs I just love improvising. When I practice improvising I always first pour myself a cup of green tea, I put on some folk music (e.g. Ray La Montagne, Damien Rice, Stephen Fretwell, Glen Hansard, Sheryl Crow, etc.) on Last.fm or Spotify.com and then I start to improvise over these songs. Other times I practice melodic patterns, triads, arpeggios, licks, everything that will spice up my improvisation skills. Improvising is one of the most fun and fulfilling aspects of guitar playing, but also something that requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Here are 10 basic essentials that will help you become a better improviser. 1 – Pentatonics / blues Learn to play the pentatonic/blues scale all over the neck in all five shapes. 2 – Major Scale Next to the pentatonic scale, the major scale is the most important scale to learn. Once you can play the scale in all positions, connect the different positions with each other.
Jouer tous les accords Avec les accords barrés, il est facile de jouer tous les accords. Le principe de décalage, ou "la magie de la guitare" Partons d'un accord en première position pour expliquer le principe de décalage. C'est l'accord de Mi majeur en première position. Remarquez que c'est le même accord que Mi majeur, décalé d'une case vers les aigües. Hein ? Oui, on a bien décalé toutes les notes d'une case. Si vous avez compris le principe, vous saurez jouer l'accord de Fa# majeur. La fondamentale : le repère Pour les accords que l'on vient de jouer, c'est la note jouée sur la corde de Mi grave qui donne le nom à l'accord. Comme vous connaissez les noms des notes sur la corde de Mi, vous savez jouer tous les accords majeurs (il y en a 12). Par exemple pour jouer Si bémol majeur il suffit de trouver la note Si bémol sur la corde de Mi puis de jouer la position “accord majeur” utilisée juste au-dessus à partir du Si bémol (6ème case). Voici quelques exemples d'accords. Et les accords mineurs ? Mais attention.

Guitar Chords Magic | Free Guitar Chords | Guitar Chord Charts 70 Things Every Computer Geek Should Know. | Arrow Webzine The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question. If you’re that type of person and are looking for a few extra skills to pick up, or if you’re a newbie aiming to get a handhold on the honor that is geekhood, read on to find out what skills you need to know.

Chord Progression and Chord Theory Lesson at Access Rock The Aesthetics of Popular Music Popular music is widely assumed to be different in kind from the serious music or art music that, until very recently, monopolized attention in philosophical discussions of music. In recent years, however, popular music has become an important topic for philosophers pursuing either of two projects. First, popular music receives attention from philosophers who see it as a test case for prevailing philosophies of music. Even now, most philosophy of music concentrates on the European classical repertoire. Therefore, if there are important differences between popular and art music, widening the discussion to include popular music might encourage us to reconsider the nature of music. Although the category of popular music presupposes differences from serious music, there is limited consensus about the nature of these differences beyond the near-tautology that most people prefer popular music to art music. Table of Contents 1. Gurney is not entirely negative about popular music. 2. 3.
