Hi Guys,
As requested, here is the revisited version of the original blog I made regarding the video above. I hope it’s still useful,
ALTERNATE PICKING GROUPINGS:
The key to this mid tempo alternate picking style is to divide the groupings into “Tetrachords” [or four note cells] and count the BPM [e,g 130-140] time as you pluck the notes with the guitar pick.
In the video at the top of the page you will see how the fretting hand grips and releases in order to connect the line together, so, that the fretting hand is not stuck or glued in one positions and has the freedom to shift positions in a relaxed and quick manner.
Fretting Hand Consideration:
Release: For the next Connection or position shift:
In regards to the alternate picking the first tetrachord/cell starts on a “Down Stroke”.
It’s also useful to accent the 1st beat/note [and also the 3rd note if possible ]
Here is the full line/example:
The ii V7 I harmony consists of Dm7 G7 CMaj7
