    • reharmonization

      Hi Emil,

      would you please one day make a lesson on how to reharmonize a song from scratch (without even using a lead sheet) from a simple chord-melody to a sophisticated arrangement with chord substitutions.
      Best regards and a big thank you for your wonderfull lessons!

    • Filter lessons by date

      Hi Emil,

      just wanted to give a small suggestion concerning organizing your lessons. I think it would be great to have "latest" filter to zoom in on the newest lessons on your site.

      Have a great day.

    • RE: how to mute the 4th string?

      @emilernebro
      Thank you Emil!
      I've looked it up. It's 44 mm. Good to know!
      I've started experimenting with an acoustic guitar which has a 42 mm wide nut. It feels too small for my hands but! .... the problem with the unclean muted sound is gone. Apparently i have to try other sizes too untill i have found the right one.
      It is a huge relief for me now!
      Thanks again!

      Best regards,
      Kavi

      @emilernebro
      Hi Emil,
      I use a thumbpick.

      I also wanted to ask you about the nut width of your guitars. Have you got a favourite one which to your feeling fits like a glove? And also is there some general rule about what nut width suits fingerstyle method the best?

      Best regards,
      Kavi

    • how to mute the 4th string?

      Hi Emil,

      I've got a problem with my palm muting technique. I am not able to produce clean muted sound of the 4th string despite the fact that my hands are pretty big. I have tried different positions but to no avail. The only solution I came up with is to move my hand slightly down when picking the 4th string. But it feels very uncomfortable. Sometimes it drives me crazy. I have started to think that my hand is built differently. I am playing guitar with 50 mm nut width. Might it be that it is too wide for fingerstyle technique? Would you have some suggestion on this?

      Thank you in advance!

      Kavi.

    • Scales you use?

      Hi Emil,
      up to now I have counted up these scales that you said you used the most.
      Is this list correct?

      1. Minor pentatonic
      2. Major pentatonic
      3. Blues scale
      4. Ionian
      5. Lydian
      6. Myxolidian
      7. Aeolian
      8. Harmonic Minor
      9. Melodic Minor
      10. Dorian
      11. Half step/whole step diminished
      12. Altered or Superlocrian
      13. Bebop (circus) scale

      Is there any other scales not listed above which you use in your improvising and which you think would be worth studying?

      Thank you in advance!

      Kavi.

    • RE: Practice Sessions CHORDS #2

      P.S. I now see that my post was categorized under IMPROVISATION LEVEL # 2 which is of course not correct. Sorry for that! Probably it should be labelled as Jazz Guitar Forum. So if the forum admins can fix it i would be greatefull.

    • Practice Sessions CHORDS #2

      Hi Emil,
      Your voice leading in a ii V I sounds so tasty. Is there some theory behind it? Would you kindly explain how you choose what chord to play?

      Best regards,

      Kavi

    • RE: Do Tommy and Martin practice modes?

      Emil,
      thank you for your clarification! I really enjoyed it!
      As for me your answer could not be long enough :)
      I have been trying to go to both the extremes - either to play everything by ear or by theory. And I failed ha-ha-ha.
      But what is slowly slowly coming out of it is the understanding that every one of us finally has to find his /her own way to master those sweet "secret" tones.

      Warmest regards,

      Kavi.
