Single note guitar solo

How to be creative in your single note guitar solo

In a guitar solo, we may outline a chordal progression, or reharmonisation of such.  One way of approaching a solo is to create a solid learning method focused on the aural understanding of the harmonic context.

I love to get acquainted, with any given tune or harmonic progression, by creating melodic lines that are a diatonic step away between them. These lines define the harmonic intention of my solo.

I also love to sing the bass lines and at the same time play these melodic lines.  After a few  practice sessions, I reach a point where I have a thorough understanding of the harmonic content. I am then able to modify, define, anticipate, delay or reharmonise such based upon the intention I wish to portray in my solo.

At the Melbourne Creative Guitar School I cater for all levels of learning. I believe music should help our thoughts flow. This ease of emotions will produce great personal satisfaction.

Flamenco Guitar for Sale

I have been asked by students to extend my  selection of handmade flamenco guitars, for purchase. These flamenco guitars I have for sale, are part of my collection, bought while living in Spain until 2012. I have enjoyed collecting such beauties. We have decided to sell some of them, to make room for new arrivals that I may purchase on my regular trips to Spain.
