11 Bonus - June 2021 - Patterns 1
🕑 Added 2021-06-27 18:01:01 +0000 UTCIn this monthly bonus material we will take a look at patterns. I consider this is a crucial practice element, not only for guitar players but, for all instruments. They have always been a major part of my practice routine.
You can use patterns for several purposes. They are an effective way to practice scales and to become familiar with them. This way you will avoid playing scales in a superficial manner, just ascending and descending. You will also gain a superior control of movements for both of your hands, and adapt to as well as anticipate various situations in songs. And finally each sequence of a particular pattern will enable you to have a much better understanding of melodic shapes.
In this PDF I'll present the most common patterns you should know. And in the next monthly bonus I'll show what I call "sweet patterns" that sound much more exciting :) I wrote all the exercises in the key of D major, second position. But you should apply these patterns for every scale you use, in any key and any position.
