String-set exploration

I've often advocated 'thinking string-sets' to break the complexity of the fretboard down into smaller, more digestible chunks. Since chords are really the masters of any piece of music, and at their simplest consist of three notes, it makes good sense to start looking at the fretboard in this way. Knowing what you're doing is paramount, and it's much easier to analyze things when they're broken down into more compact forms.

In this lesson I've demonstrated that approach with a jazzy sounding exploration of G on the treble string-set, and only two positions of G. It's amazing how much music lies dormant and ready to be twanged just in and around two positions for the same chord.

Go to the lesson here.
