Hi Guys,
Today, a “Quirky” Fripp-esque/Crimson-esque guitar picking exercise.
Here is the first part:
As you can see this is very intervallic and as Robert Fripp might call it, “Finickity” picking pattern.
GUITAR TECHNIQUES:
Alternate picking starting on an upstroke works really:
Also, the pattern “Down Down Down Up” works well: [with a short amount of alternate picking on the C B E notes in the bass]
Moving on from this we have chromatic movement: So from here on in we employ strict alternate picking starting on an “Upstroke”:
In this next phrase we have a contrapuntal effect with arpeggio and scale movement put to good use.
We finish the first part with more descending chromatic movement with the last line imitating the phrase before it.
2nd Part “Chordal”
In the 2nd part we exploit whole tone scale movement:
We will decorate this by employing 4ths:
Now we will dismantle the whole tone scale by making a chordal quartal melody and strum this up a semitone and back to create a colourful sound:
This is then repeated up in Major thirds.
Up another Major third:
Finally we descend from the 12th fret with this little motif:
