Horizontal Or Diagonal Two String Patterns
A useful method for organising fretting positions of single-note is to create a pattern using only two adjacent strings. Enabling a pattern where the fretting remains the same as it moves through different octaves. It could be scale or an arpeggio of a chord. The image below contains an example showing the notes of a […]

Arpeggiating Three Note Chords Using Diagonal Positions
There has been a specific focus with using three-note chords in recent posts. None of the above posts have looked into arpeggiating three note-chords as sequential single notes and none of the examples contained two adjacent notes plucked on the same string. Playing three-note chords sequentially offers interesting creative opportunities. Why Learn Arpeggios Sequentially? While […]

Close Voicing Moving Across Adjacent Strings
The previous two posts, Alternate Picking Using Three-Note Triads In Closed Voicing Along The Strings and Fingerstyle Picking Using Four-Note Triads In Closed Voicing Along The String, have focussed on moving between the inversions of a chord along the length of each string. Both posts explain using rhythmic motifs and a specific string plucking technique […]

Fingerstyle Picking Using Four-Note Triads In Closed Voicing Along The String.
This article continues similarly to Alternate Picking Using Three-Note Triads In Close Voicing Along The String. (See that article for a more thorough overview of the fundamental concepts.) Instead of using three-note chord inversions in close voicing, this post will focus on utilising a four-note chord, with one of the notes in the chord doubled up. Employing […]

Alternate Picking Using Three-Note Triads In Closed Voicing Along The String.
This article intends to help those who are comfortable moving between three-note closed voicing inversions along the length of the strings, but desire more interesting practice applications. In and of itself, moving between each inversion (as explained here) isn’t particularly interesting, creative or fun to practice. Hopefully, the ideas discussed throughout this post will help […]

Harmonising Triad Pairs In Open Voicing
What is “open” voicing? “Open voicing” is the term used to describe a chord where the notes have large intervallic gaps. Utilising Triad Pairs In Open Voicing provides a great way to double the amount of ground when practicing and developing Triads. If you want to find out more about the theory registered users can […]
