More ways to make sense of it.
Keep the shape, the sound and the musical idea close together. Choose what helps today’s practice.
02 / SCALE PATTERNS
Give each pattern a musical purpose.
Explore a scale in a manageable area of the neck. Use roots and chord context to find notes to return to, instead of running a pattern without listening.
Try a C major exercise03 / CHORD PROGRESSION PRACTICE
Let the changes come around again.
Listen to a progression, find the next chord and practise over a repeating loop. The free progressions already loop, so you can stay with one idea for as long as you need.
Practise with C–F–G04 / PICKING & FINGERPICKING
Find a steady pattern, one string at a time.
Follow the picking order and slow the tempo while your hands get comfortable. Begin with the Straight arpeggio or Common Travis starter pattern, then build from there.
