Scale picking Practise Routine

2010-11-18T01:49:00.000-08:00

Let 1 2 3---7 are 7 notes in the scale
Time written shows how much avg time the practice takes

The practise I am writing is for any scale, but in example shown for Major Scale.
Suppose the scale has n notes, for major scale its 7. So taking full octave as:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Now for C scale it will be : CDEFGABC
So 1,2,3 = CDE, 2,3,4=DEF and so on

So practise are denominated like this.

1 The Major Scale

Prcactise all the 5 patterns of Am PS X 5(up and down) 6min

Random Direction Changes 6min

Random Notes

Play in 3rd's(1st take 2 notes, than 3 and than 4..v.imp exercise)

3,4,5,6 In A Line
Consider the following permutations


2 Groups of three    5min
2a-- 123, 234, 345, etc. Also part 2 is 123, 321 : 234 , 432 : n go on…sim for every prac
2b-- 321, 432, 543, etc.
2c-- 132, 243, 354, etc.
2d-- 312, 423, 534, etc.

3 Groups of four    5
1a-- 1234, 2345, 3456, etc.
1b-- 4321, 5432, 6543, etc.
1c-- 1243, 2354, 3465, etc.
1d-- 1321, 2432, 3543, etc.


4 Intervallic
3a-- 13, 24, 35, 46, etc. (thirds)    5
3b-- 31, 42, 53, 64, etc. (rev. thirds)
3c-- 13, 42, 35, 64, etc. (rev. every 2nd)

4a-- 14, 25, 36, 47, etc. (fourths)
4b-- 41, 52, 63, 74, etc. (rev. fourths)
4c-- 14, 52, 36, 74, etc. (rev. every 2nd)

5a-- 15, 26, 37, 48, etc. (fifths)
5b-- 51, 62, 73, 84, etc. (rev. fifths)
5c-- 15, 62, 37, 84, etc. (rev. every 2nd)


Note: I also do breathing exercise with this. So take case of playing 3rds. When I play 1,2,3 till the 8th note, I take breath and later on when coming back I leave breath. Please practise these routines with metronome.

Some sing along songs, ie sing with strumming

Blues basic positioning

2010-03-26T04:24:00.000-07:00

First we should know E shape Amin pentatonic scale

Now adding the Blues note to A mps i.e. D# in this case we get Blues scale

There is analogy between blues and normal english sentence we use.
Alphabets - Scales
Words - Licks
Sentences - 2 3 licks combined
Poems - Solo

Intro: (C) (C) (C) (C)

That (C) sleepy little campfire popped and kinda crackled
We were heating up the pork and (G) beans
And Bubba said, "man, it don't get get any better
than this if ya know what I (C) mean"
We sat there for a minute - listenin' to the crickets
Thinkin' this is hard to (F) beat
'Til (G) Junior stood up - spit in the fire
Said, "Boys, I hate to disagr(C)ee...

"But, if a (F) bus load of women
Really good lookin' women
Just suddenly pulled in (C) here
And (G) ol' T. Garcia Showed up with fajitas
And a hundred gallon keg of (C) beer
And (F) Haggard dropped by
And brought Willie with him
And they started takin' re(C)quests
Now don't get me (C/B) wrong boys
(Am) This is pretty (G) good
But, it (F) could get (G) better than (C) this"

If Bill Dance and Hank Parker floated by in a boat
And volunteered to be our fishing guides
And Richard Petty pulled up in that ol' 43 car
And asked us if we wanted a ride
We'd all sit around singin' Pancho & Lefty
Playin' poker - smokin' big cigars
Now don't take offense ya'll, I'm perfectly content
Just sittin' here, under the stars

"But, if a bus load of women
Really good lookin' women
Just suddenly pulled in here
And ol' Emeril Lagassee Showed up with kielbasa
And a hundred gallon keg of beer
And Haggard dropped by
And brought Willie with him
And they started takin' requests
Now don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But, it could get better than this"

Solo

"But, if a bus load of women
Really good lookin' women
Just suddenly pulled in here
And Little Jimmy Dickens showed up with fried chicken
And a hundred gallon keg of beer
And Haggard dropped by
And brought Willie with him
And they started takin' requests
Now don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But, it could get better than this"

Now don't get me wrong boys
This is pretty good
But, it could get better than this"

Improve Your Guitar Teaching

2010-03-15T14:11:00.001-07:00

Although there are many different ways you can help your students become better guitar players and musicians, we can group almost everything you do into three main categories:
1. Inspiring and motivating your students – teaching guitar well is often more about inspiring your students than teaching a new scale, chord or song.
2. Teaching them ‘new things’ to play/practice – Most guitar teachers understand this basic concept, but often struggle to know exactly how much ‘new content’ is too little or too much for each student. Most teachers ‘overwhelm’ their students with simply too much material in a short amount of time.
3. Helping them to solve their playing/musical problems – The best way to improve your guitar teaching is to understand exactly how to help any student overcome any problem.
Each of these areas has its own challenges, but for most teachers it is the last category (helping students solve guitar playing/musical problems) that can be the most difficult to consistently do well.
When teaching guitar to solve problems and bad habits, the first thing to do is be clear about the process itself:
Identify the true cause of the problem. Remember that ’symptoms’ of problems and ’causes’ of problems are often totally different things. A misdiagnosed problem (just like a misdiagnosed medical problem) can make things worse than doing nothing at all.
Find proven solutions to overcome this problem. Yes, this seems like an obvious point, but often teachers ‘guess’ or use the trial and error approach to teaching guitar. Surround yourself with other experienced guitar teachers. Ask them for their advice on your specific challenge, doing so may save you and your student a lot of time and frustration.
Communicate the causes and your solution to your student’s problem. Again, this may seem like common sense, but fact is, most teachers do not fully explain the cause and solutions to the problems students have, they sort of skip this part and move directly into implementing the solution. The reason why communicating the cause and solution to your student is so important is that, without the student truly knowing what these things are, they often won’t truly practice your solution diligently at home.
Implement the solution (training). To be the most effective, you need to do more than ‘teach what to do’, you need to ‘train’ them to do it. The ‘teaching part’ can usually be done quickly, but it is the ‘training’ that takes the time. Think more like a sports trainer and less like a school teacher as you implement solutions while teaching guitar (more on this below).
Hold their hand – You do not need to treat all your students like children (unless they are children), but when teaching guitar, it is important that you monitor your students’ motivation level and help them to keep it high. A mediocre guitar teacher who keeps his/her students highly motivated will almost always get much bigger results than a great ‘technical’ teacher who does little or nothing to keep students inspired and motivated – yet this is an area most teachers don’t do consistently well in – because they underestimate its importance.
Because students typically have multiple problems in their playing (inconsistent articulation, weak sense of timing, excess body tension, inefficient hand movement, excess string noise, just to name a few common ones), and because there are typically multiple causes to each of those problems, the hardest part about teaching guitar, as it relates to solving students’ playing problems and breaking bad habits, is knowing the best order to deal with the causes of a student’s problems. Timing is critical and so is the order.
Many (well intentioned) teachers make the mistake of trying to use ‘linear logic’ to help students break bad habits and overcome challenges. There are many problems with this, the main one is we don’t teach machines, we are teaching people. Everything we do, and when we do it, has a positive or negative impact in the mind of our students. In theory it might make perfect sense for a teacher to make the student deal with the most basic problems first. That seems logical right? Well, those that follow this all the time will have a hard time keeping students long enough to help them become the guitar players they wish to be.
Contrary to what many guitar teachers believe, fixing the most fundamental problems your students have in the beginning (or trying to break too many bad habits at once) does more harm than good for most students. Yes, problems and bad habits must be dealt with in order for your students to reach their maximum potential, but too much of this at the same time may kill the will for your students to endure the natural frustration that comes with learning to play guitar.
Each student is different and you need to get a sense of how much tolerance the student sitting in front of you can handle in the present moment. If you overestimate this, the result is likely going to lead to massive amounts of frustration for your student and he/she may give up lessons and playing guitar completely.
How long does it usually take your beginning guitar students, as an example, to sit or stand with ‘perfectly correct’ posture, use perfect left and right hand positions, use the correct picking motions and articulation etc. etc. when playing and practicing? Sure you can teach this in a minute or two, but how long will it take that student to instinctively do this all the time on his/her own without you reminding them? For most students, it takes a long time.
Is it okay to let your students continue to play and practice guitar when you know many basic things are wrong and that they will form bad habits by allowing them to go on in this way?
Most guitar teachers would say, “no, it’s not okay” and then proceed to immediately try to correct all of them as soon as possible. Other guitar teachers simply don’t notice or don’t care enough to address these things. They figure as long as students keep coming back to lessons, everything is good.
The best approach for teaching guitar is neither. To be clear, your top priority should be to keep your student coming back for as many lessons as possible – not simply because you make more money that way, but because, if a student gives up lessons, you can do nothing to help him/her. Obviously, you must deal with problems and bad habits though (to not do this would be the same as only feeding kids candy and never real food).
When teaching guitar to solve a problem, avoid dealing with the entire problem and all its causes at once. Begin with the one thing you can do for your student that will be easiest for him/her to correct. This will help to build confidence that he/she can begin to overcome the problem and that doing so wasn’t extremely hard to start with. Pay attention to how much of this you think they can handle right now. If it looks good, then give them the next thing to fix.
Although some guitar playing problems and bad habits can be really big issues to deal with, try not to make the entire lesson only about solving problems. Most students need to get a sense of forward progress and even though solving problems is forward progress, they can’t always see that themselves even after you explain it to them, so give them something else that is fulfilling for them to play and practice. A little sugar with the medicine helps it go down easier .
Test your guitar teaching skills.
