Bach's Invention No. 8 (#2)
- Page 1
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
Works by JS Bach are a great way to build chops and dexterity while playing some great music at the same time. Bach wrote a series of two-part inventions for harpsichord which work well as two-guitar duets. Although this is...(more)

Bach's Invention No. 8 (#2)

Pretty intense, huh? After the first twelve measures we end up in C Major, and the whole thing starts over again. This is the second part of the lead line that plays with the companion part shown in the 2nd sequence in this...(more)

Now for the last section. Time to bring it on home. The same three-note pattern is used in the first few measures, and then a nice long run brings it to a close. The companion music is tabbed in the 2nd sequence.

Carcassi's Caprice in D Minor (#3)

by Christopher Sung (9297)

Matteo Carcassi wrote a lot of guitar pieces that can help the intermediate guitarist with their alternate picking or finger picking, and knowledge of the fingerboard. This was the first classical piece I ever learned and it...(more)

Carcassi's Caprice in D Minor (#3)
- Page 2
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
In the last half of the piece, we reiterate the same pattern mostly through D minor and A major. In the last four measures, we always use the same pattern on top (the D minor triad), but use different bass notes for it to so...(more)

Eric Johnson-type Licks (#4)

A few years ago, I spent some time trying to get familiar with some of the devices that Eric uses to make his playing so fresh. Although he is known for his tone, and the violin-like brilliance in his playing, I found that h...(more)

Eric Johnson-type Licks (#4)

Another interesting aspect of Eric's playing is the way he mixes triplets and sixteenth notes, often within the same measure or phrase. In this example, he shifts effortlessly between the two throughout the line. Although p...(more)

Eric Johnson-type Licks (#4)

Here's another example in E where there's accentuation on the F# (the 9th of the scale) and shifting in and out of triplets and 16th notes. I can really hear the shift if I slow it down using the tempo control at the bottom ...(more)

Funk Comping Patterns in E (#5)
- Page 1
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
Whenever I play funk, I always try to think percussive, like you're an integrated sound of the drummer's kit. This usually means lot of muted notes, and letting it out when there's space in the music. In this example, I jus...(more)

Funk Comping Patterns in E (#5)
- Page 2
by Christopher Sung (9297)
-
You can get a little involved by playing more of the chords using three or four note voicings, but still using the same kind of percussive effect. When we play the low C# on the 4th string in measure 3-4, we really start to ...(more)
