Hi Guys,
Today just a couple of John McLaughlin “Style” acoustic guitar licks/cadences on ii V7 I’s
LICK #1
The first one has a phrasing that really feels like two groups of sextuplets. This in turn creates a sort of juxtaposed phrasing as it is picked in 4 note tetrachord groupings starting with an up beat.
But, the alternate picking pattern starting on an Upstroke pushes this juxtaposition quite naturally.
The second part of the first bar simplifies this by employing basic 2 notes per string phrasing:
The next bar being played over the Dominant 7th chord employs the same type of mixed phrasing as the first bar:
We conclude with 2 triads of Eminor and F Major:
LICK #2
This lick starts with an upbeat and an upstroke on the open E string:
From here we start on a downstroke with 4 note groupings of Tetrachord connections:
The final phrase employs the same juxtaposed notes/groupings as the first exercise which finally rest on the tonic chord of C Maj7:
