The Brown’stone: Expression, Articulation, & Speed!

This week in The Brown’stone on No Treble, we’re talking about expression, articulation, and speed. I’m going to give you a couple of exercises that involve using hammer-ons and pull-offs. I’ll use the major scale and the pentatonic scales to demonstrate how to make your lines sound more expressive. And with time, you’ll be playing these patterns with clarity, speed, and accuracy.

I think you’re going to dig this one.
