- My notes
Hi there GMC'ers!
THE PROFESSOR Check out the theory behind 7sus4 chords for guitar, as this is a prominent sound in this lesson, as well as the Ionian Mode (Major Scale), as this is the melodic device used in this song.
I'd like to introduce to you some melodic phrases from my original song.
This song is a mellow ballad. At the first look, this song is simple. However, it includes various techniques.
The lesson will focus on these elements:
*Pinch (picking harmonics) technique
*Melodic harmonies (twin guitar)
*Slide nuances
Difficulty is not so high, so let's enjoy playing this lesson!
