Download or read book Seeing Music on the Guitar written by Andy Schneider and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the first book of its' kind to put you inside the mind of guitar players everywhere. Successful guitar players develop an ability to "see" the music they play on the fretboard of the instrument. They see the music they play as a simple relationship of shapes and relative positions. As easily as you already can distinguish a triangle from a square or circle, stringed instrumentalists see music on the fretboard of their instrument. Further, just as you could draw those basic shapes of triangle square or circle from memory, guitar players can visually "draw" chord shapes on their fingerboards and move those shapes around easily, creating new music.This is an inherently special gift those who play stringed instruments have been given. No other kind of instrument makes it so easy for the musician to have a visual roadmap of the music, making things like improvisation or transposing a song to another key so easy. Your fingers will follow these maps to get to the music. This book will show you how to see music as simple shapes and use these shapes to more quickly and proficiently play and create music.This book is for two kinds of students:1. The absolute beginner. Welcome.2. Those who have learned something about the guitar, maybe some chords, maybe even have a good bit of playing experience, but lack knowledge of the way music is built. They have a grip on how to play some music, but don't understand why they're playing these things. Why chords use particular notes. Why some chords in a song are major or minor. Without this knowledge of the "whys", it's difficult, if not impossible, for them to develop as a player. For them, the guitar becomes a giant, frustrating exercise in memorization. It shouldn't be.In this book, you'll see that there really is very little music theory to be memorized. You did a lot more memorizing in your first year of math class than you will here. There are literally thousands of chord voicings available to a guitarist, yet they can be boiled down to a few simple ideas that anyone can grasp. You'll see the simple relationship between chords and scales and you'll learn how to play any chord, even one you've never seen before. No knowledge of sheet music is necessary here. While reading music is great and certainly encouraged, this book doesn't use it. The approach here is to understand how music is constructed and 'looks' on the neck of the guitar. While we won't get into any particular musical style or specific techniques, the information here is common to all Western music: Rock, Folk, Country, Pop, Classical, Jazz.

Download or read book Guitar Hacks written by Graham Tippett and published by Graham Tippett. This book was released on 2017-04-16 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3NPS (three-note-per-string) scales, as used by legions of guitarists but popularized mainly by Joe Satriani, are one of the most efficient ways to navigate the fretboard and get your scales down IF you follow the guidelines in this book. As the name suggests, a 3NPS scale is any scale that contains three notes on each string, and as you'll see in this eBook, this makes for a very consistent way to map out scales on the guitar fretboard. What we’ve done here is revamped the 3NPS scale system and turned it into an incredibly effective means to learn a wide variety of scales all over the fretboard by streamlining the number of patterns, as well as the picking system. This is not a scale theory book, and contains no pentatonic scales. This is a quick and dirty (and very effective) method for learning 3NPS scales all over the fretboard; something to work on in the woodshed. It will improve your picking technique and speed. It does not require a great amount of thinking as you only need to learn two picking patterns, which is really one in two directions, and only three scale patterns instead of the usual seven per scale.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Guitar written by Miles Okazaki and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to be useful for guitarists at any skill level. Beginners can use it as an introduction to the foundational concepts of the instrument, intermediate players can use it for training and theoretical work, and advanced players can explore the sections on advanced theory, extended technique and the exhaustive tables of melodic and rhythmic possibilities. It is divided into two parts: pitch and rhythm. Part 1 (pitch) begins with the properties of string, harmonics, and tuning systems. It then moves methodically through pitch information, beginning with locating all versions of a single pitch, building pentatonic, heptatonic, and all possible symmetrical scales. This is followed by a study of intervals, with all possible locations of every two pitches, and a long study that moves through every possible fingering of three pitches, with a series of exercises to master triadic syntax. Part 1 closes with a study of four-pitch structures and complete tables that show all possible pitch sets in circular visual notation. Part 2 (rhythm) begins with a complete course in "Symmetrical Picking," a method based on drum rudiments that builds control in the picking hand through an exhaustive variety of movements. The focus of this section is building a strong rhythmic foundation, with a focus on efficiency, accuracy, speed, dynamics, and groove. It is followed by a study of legato playing, working with ornaments and slides. The study of playing with fingers on multiple strings takes up the remainder of the book. This begins with the study of pulse against pulse, playing two simultaneous tempos. The book concludes with a study of polyrhythm, playing one rhythm against another. Plain English is used as much as possible to describe theoretical concepts, and hundreds of illustrations were made for the book as an aid to those who either don't speak English or prefer to think visually. This approach is designed to be inclusive and to promote creative practice. The main idea of the book is described in this passage (page 154): "Even in this small area there is a lot of material, potentially a lifetime of study. The amount of information can feel overwhelming to students at any level. For this reason, the book is designed for self-directed practice, with an emphasis on what the player "could" do, rather than what the player "should" do. The principle is to develop your own learning process, rather than following someone else's. The ability to make choices is essential in finding a personal approach to the instrument. Pick and choose the studies that seem interesting - there should be enough variety to accommodate a wide range of personalities. If any particular concept or exercise has been useful as the starting point for a new creative direction, then the book has done its job. Its purpose is not to push any dogma, method, or style, but to open the door to options for guitarists of any background that are looking for new perspectives.

Download or read book Infinite Music written by Adam Harper and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, new technologies have brought composers and listeners to the brink of an era of limitless musical possibility. They stand before a vast ocean of creative potential, in which any sounds imaginable can be synthesised and pieced together into radical new styles and forms of music-making. But are musicians taking advantage of this potential? How could we go about creating and listening to new music, and why should we? Bringing the ideas of twentieth-century avant-garde composers Arnold Schoenberg and John Cage to their ultimate conclusion, Infinite Music proposes a system for imagining music based on its capacity for variation, redefining musical modernism and music itself in the process. It reveals the restrictive categories traditionally imposed on music-making, replaces them with a new vocabulary and offers new approaches to organising musical creativity. By detailing not just how music is composed but crucially how it's perceived, Infinite Music maps the future of music and the many paths towards it.
