Great thanks a lot!

Mind blowing discovery! Thumb pressure needs to be near nil. Any thumb pressure restricts my ability to correct it's curve! Leaving this here in case anyone needs this.

Hi Kenneth!
Really happy you're here at our forum! We're all here to learn! Let me know if you ever have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them right here on the forum. Kind regards/Emil Ernebro

@brock-sirko No problem! :)

Hi!
Thanks for asking and I'm really glad you're working on the lesson and that it has helped you to reach another level! Great work!!
As of now, I don't have that recorded in a slower speed - sorry! Half speed should sound OK when changing the tempo in the player at our site, but I get what you mean when we change to 1/4 of the speed it's difficult to hear what's actually happening. Sometimes it helps to just practice using the metronome for awhile and then go back to the backing track. Try it in a slower speed using only metronome and then see how you do when going back to the lesson backing track. Kind regards/Emil

Hej Björn!

Det är verkligen en smaksak med gitarrer, men personligen tycker jag om mindre gitarrer med OM (eller liknande)-kropp för just fingerspel. Det finns en tydlighet i fingerspel som jag upplever kommer fram på ett fint sätt med den typen av gitarr, om man jämför med större gitarrer eller Dreadnaught etc. Jag har faktiskt inte koll på hur Furch GC SR är, men en snabb googling så verkar det som en väldigt fin gitarr, och en av deras mer exklusiva instrument. Jag tycker Furch är ett väldigt bra val. Mycket gitarr för pengarna också!
Min som sagt, min smak för fingerspel är OM-kropp eller liknande. Det är viktigt att testa testa testa! :)
Ha en fin dag Björn!

Welcome to ProGuitar @ol-red!

Maybe you could post a picture of the guitar? It will probably help others to find more info on it.

@doug744
Haha exactly!
Most people know him from the films, but he is one of the greatest songwriters for the guitar in history! Incredibly talented, funny and musical. He saw himself more as a "guitar writer" than "guitar player".. he said.. "I wrote it, now YOU play it!" :) But man,.. could he play... amazing!

@emilernebro Thanks for your answer regarding my question. I just changed strings and still have the same results. I believe it is my fat fingers and perhaps callouses on them causing the overtones. I'll just have to try out different muting options...

Doug

@emilernebro LOL, I was wondering if that was a solution before you posted this. I'll have to try it. Thanks.

Doug

@emilernebro I am working on Banjo Rolls. Just worked my way through the Cycle Solo and can more or less keep up at 1/2 speed. I posted a question regarding technique on a particular passage in the piece in another post. Cheers.

Hi there!

Thanks so much for watching my lessons! :)

That ending-lick is a quick improvised thing, I had to go back and watch to see what I did there. It's basically a blend of different scales and concepts. I use some chromatics as well as lydian dominant sounds. One thing that I did there that I use all the time, is that I'm playing a maj7 arpeggio down a whole step from the chord I'm playing over.
In other words, if you play over E7, you can go down a whole step and play a maj7 arpeggio! It sounds very nice! That's what I did just at the end of that lick :) try playing a Dmaj7 arpeggio over E7, and then resolve it on the major 3rd of the E7 chord.

Have a great day!
Kind regards/Emil

@jussi
Thank you so much for the feedback Jussi! I just fixed that, and you can now see the fingering for the right hand on the solo! Have a great day!
Kind regards/Emil

@dengqinghua_42
Hi!

When I make a pull off like that, I mute the e string with my left hand index finger. I do it without thinking about it, and it will become something you do without thinking about it if you’ve done it enough times.
Kind regards /Emil

@dengqinghua_42

Hi Rostislav!
Thank you for the very good question about the lesson "Voice Leading VOL. 1" !

In this lesson, (since it's volume 1) we mostly focus on the top voice of the chord, and we learn how to be creative and play melodies on top of the chord progressions using the diatonic major scale as well as arpeggio lines that connects the chords in a nice way. This is step one in learning about voice leading on guitar. How to be melodic in your chord melody and when you accompany someone on the guitar. This also helps you to learn more voicings on the instrument, which is important when you want to take the next step towards more advanced harmony and "voice leading" playing.

You can definitely use the concepts when you're creating your own arrangements, but this lesson is made for anyone who plays guitar and not necessarily only solo fingerstyle guitar players. In other words, these concepts works great no matter what constellation you're playing in.. solo, duo, or in a band setting.
In Vol. 2 however (this lesson is what I'm working on at the moment and will be released later this month), we're focusing more on the chromatic alterations, and how these voices can be moved in common chord progressions.
How to create great sounding progressions and voice leading, and how to use more altered chords in your accompaniment or solo guitar playing!
Stay tuned for Voice Leading VOL. 2, which I hope you'll enjoy too! :)

Have a wonderful week Rostislav, and thanks for being part of our community!
Kind regards/Emil
