Talking Technique: Beautiful Practice in Minor
Last July, I published a Talking Technique lesson called “Beautiful Practice“. It recently made a reader’s favorite list for 2016 here on No Treble thanks to your likes, shares, and comments. Thank you for that!
The lesson brought together music theory, comprehensive fretboard knowledge, and lots of technique aspects. I thought we’d bring the lesson back with a twist, namely playing the exercise in minor. We will again be playing through diatonic triads in an open voicing through the diatonic cycle.
If that sounds difficult, don’t worry – we will go over that in the video. Be sure to follow along with this handy PDF to get the most out of the exercise.
