Etude based off some picking experimentation. Tough to let all those notes ring out, and also to control the timing in all those quick sweeps. More…

An arpeggio sequence I was working on as alternate picking practice, applied to Giant Steps chord changes arranged as spread triads. More…

All right so a little bit of an unconventional slice. A lot of people covered that "fingerpicking addition" thing I posted the other day, but had trouble nailing the last measure in 9/8. Some played it… More…

Tried writing a little etude that was rhythmically in groups of 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.… More…

Something I put together for a student that I thought came out well. The sus4 to dominant is just another way to play ii V - ii V with V in bass. This mixes in a few different elements to get a nice flow… More…
