  • Technique Bootcamp - Villa Lobos Material

    Episode 2

    These are the chords to the first 2/3 or so of Etude #1 by Heitor Villa Lobos. It's just a ton of six string voicings, so it's a great bunch of chords to learn for working on all kinds of right hand stuff.

  • Technique Bootcamp - Chromatic Scale Six Ways Material

    Episode 3

    The chromatic scale is basically all of the notes. There are many ways to play the chromatic scale, and here we will learn six ways to play it - once traveling up each string.

    Episode 6

    This is a basic Major 7th arpeggio that I use for warm up and scale practice, because of the way it moves across the strings. No pdf for this because I think it's important to learn the moveable pattern.

  • Technique Bootcamp - Right Hand Pattern #1 - Arpeggio and Thumb Material

    Episode 7

    If you learn only one exercise this Summer I recommend this one! It's a fantastic warm-up and also a great exercise to work on the balance between thumb and fingers which we need so much of the time.
