Maintaining your level of guitar playing is an ongoing process, and what you may have discovered already, is that learning a new technique - or even seeing theory from a new perspective – can really inspire and reignite your creativity.Each musician will have a different approach to the guitar, and that’s why lessons are always structured to suit each person's strengths - developing an area that you may have previously looked over can be done in a way that suits your current playing style.The easy-to-follow theory and concepts offered can instantly expand your knowledge and phrasing, will demystify any unknown areas of the fretboard and help you combine scales and chords with ease. The key is knowing where you are in relation to the melody, chord progression and the entire song - from there you can move in whatever direction you want to go.Here some of the areas covered in each style:
Acoustic
• Modes & their application• Applying diminished & augmented chords• Playing outside the key & connecting different keys• Combing rhythm of the fretboard hand to different picking patterns• Constructing your own tunings• Building your own advanced chords in any part of the neck• Building your own harmonised scale patterns• Advanced understanding of timbre & chord voicings• Dobro/ Lap-slide picking• Advanced listening development
Electric
• Advanced application of modes• Combining scales & playing outside the key• Building chromatic chord progressions• Atonal/ limited-transposition scales & application• Slide/ hybrid picking styles• Incorporating Extended Chords & Arpeggios• Advance syncopation & chord substitution
