Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

March 31, 2008 | Clean Sweep

Ever find something you really value during routine cleaning? Such is the case with our "Clean Sweep" picking exercise prepared for our June '07 Tip & Trick entry. It's amazing what a focused 3-4 minute investment of time can do to the rest of your practice session (let alone long-term cummulative pedagogical benefit), and this is one of those special exercises that can get your pick, grip, and ear set for maximum tone throughout the rest of your practicing. It's also a great performance warm-up.
