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. Allowing […]

Alternate Picking Using Three-Note Triads In Closed Voicing Along The Strings.
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 […]
