KIRK'S COLUMN Finger style study in dropped D Hello from way up here in Canada! After a horrendously long flight via Japan, and a few frantic days setting up here just south of Vancouver, right on the US border, I'm back online and back in front of my little digicam creating a new lesson for you. This is yet another look at my favorite kind of guitar playing: finger style in dropped D. This unnamed piece is a chord progression in D, using all the familiar aspects of finger style guitar: bass line, top line melody, and a fleshing out of chord tones to fatten it all up. As always, it consists of a movie, midi files to play along to and tablature. There really isn't any way you can't learn this little ditty, once you compel your fingers to do as they're told. Go to http://planetalk.thatllteachyou.com/lessons, negotiate that irksome speed bump I put in the way, and get to twangin! My PlaneTalk guitar instruction book is still on sale, as it has been for the last seven years form my site. The move to Canada (family business) has not interrupted anything on that front, so, if you want to learn the trick to seeing the way music lays itself out the whole length of the fretboard, drop into http://planetalk.thatllteachyou.com and read all about it. If improvisation is your goal, then this is the book for you. My other site, http://guitarforbeginners.com is, of course, still up and running, all totally free content (over 100 pages worth) and chock-a-block with the same kind of movie/tab/midi lessons as this one. All the best, |
