I help guitarists advance through a unique and highly individualized program. However my soundslice channel is mostly a random mix of personal projects. See link and instagram posts for more: www.jakeestner.com/hybrid , www.instagram.com/JakeEstner
I give an example or two for each of these:… More…
Very cool use of "hammers from nowhere" More…
nice comp voicings for low vocalist (me, hah) More…
Was just revisiting rhythm changes recordings, listened to a lot and wanted to grab some really solid, logical lines that made the changes without either a ton of substitutions, or being more blues based.… More…
Emily sort of makes a "pick shape" with her thumb and index finger, and at times strums with just the index finger, at other times may "smack" the strings into the body/pickups of the guitar. Whichever… More…
Frikkin hard! Original guitar part + melody together. 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…
"Bitonality" quick instagram post from harmony master Rick Beato. More…
I had been working on an arrangement of the intro line from Tigran Hamasyan's "The Grid" (that's not what this is) - "the Grid" is fast 16th notes in groups of 5, 5, 7, 5, 5, 5, then repeat. To try to… More…
This is very stupid. More…
With a few exceptions, all of these chords are either 1 5 9 7 or 1 5 9 b7, from lowest to highest. For some reason I really like this structure, you could think of it as a triad over its fourth, or a 9th… More…
This is three separate parts combined into solo guitar. Taken from a lead sheet Gilad posted on his website. Originally it's bass, melody, and a syncopated accompanying guitar line. Tried to put them all… More…
I took a “lick of the day” from Horace Bray that was Holdsworth-inspired, then arranged it to have an additional melodic voice, making it more dynamic to play unaccompanied (if you have no friends 😔 ) More…
Thomas Griggs on tour with Aaron Intervals in 2018. Bm vamp! Some observations:… More…
This is more so a teaching concept than an arrangement, although I do think it sounds nice.… More…
Saving this one for later, been doing a few things with it. (You can turn on TAB if you want; just thought the concept was easier to see on the staff)… More…
This was from an instragram post and I believe Tosin said he was messing around with concepts from Daniele Gottardo, but the riff is Tosin's creation.… More…
Careful with the harmonics and sustain in the chorus More…
I did this with the pick strokes/slurs that felt easiest for me in a single practice session, but if I were to spend a longer period of time on it I would probably work out some different pick stroke/slant… More…
Envious of this picking in the fast run - no sleight of hand there re: hybrid, sweeps, etc: just very solid alternate picking, hitting each note with a lot of power. More…
Adam Levy contacted me about transcribing this scat solo he did while on vacation. I had to think carefully about the best way to notate this particular solo. After exploring several different methods… More…
