YOUR GUITAR QUESTIONS ANSWERED by Will Landrum http://www.willlandrum.com/ Since I receive so many individual questions ranging on such various topics, I realized that some of these questions may be on everyone else's mind too and it would be beneficial to publish them here. So here are some "questions and answers", "inputs and outputs" that I've compiled for your guitar playing edification. ++++++++++ INPUT:
Will, OUTPUT: When spelling out the notes in a key, you must follow the step rules, (obviously) and also all seven of the note letters must be accounted for. Yes. F is E# tone wise. But in the key of F#, the E is sharped. In other words you can't have an F and F# in the same key. It's theoretically incorrect. Same thing with the Gb scale. ++++++++++ INPUT:
Hi Will, I have average sized hands, but it looks like you would have to have hands the size of Paul Gilbert or Steve Vai to pull this off (excuse the pun). Here's a small section for you to have a look at. Thanks.
p = pulloff (13) = My suggestion Am arpeggio p p p -12--16--8------------------------ --------(13)-10------------------- -----------------9---------------- --------------------10------------ ------------------------12-------- ----------------------------12--8- OUTPUT: You're right! It's ridiculous! If you discover something in sheet music that seems just way to much of a stretch, try to find the same notes in other places on the fretboard to achieve the same results. This will allow you to move forward AND keep your sanity! If you haven't already figured it out, you could play the first string eighth fret C note on the second string, thirteenth fret to accomplish the A minor arpeggio. ++++++++++ More next week!
