The blessing and curse of guitar is the never ending cycle that there is to learn on this instrument. I recently learned how chords in a diatonic key relate to each other. This was a huge surprise to me because this concept was new to me. My first impression of this was, "Wow this could totally revolutionize my soloing!" An example of this was the relationship between the Tonic and Median of any key. I noticed that if the Tonic is a Major 9 chord and the Median is a Minor 7th chord they are the exact same. Only the root is excluded in the Median. I then realized that I could use the E minor 7 arpeggio to solo over a C major Chord to create a major 9 sound. Any other substitutions that come to mind?
Happy Picking!

Various Stylesposted in Acoustic Guitar Forum
It has always been super interesting to me to see the various styles of Fingerstyle Guitar. Whether it be the style of Chet Atkins (Boom Chick Guitar), Merle Travis, Martin Taylor, or even Tuck Andress. All of these legends bring so much to the table as far as technique, feel, and rythm. I would be interested to here what all of you had to say about some of these topics. I thought I'd start a thread discussing the various styles of play. What are some similarities? What are some differences? It would be interesting to here all your thoughts!
Happy Picking,
