Guitar Improvisation -all styles- by Enrique Vargas

In this course in video format with scores, by Enrique Vargas, the art of improvisation is presented without linking it to a specific style.

The following topics are discussed in depth, in a structured and chronological way:

• • • Basic picking techniques,  the most advanced alternating and sweeping techniques,  and various tricks to develop an impressive speed
    • The Basic modes and the corresponding modal harmony
    • The  three components of melodic construction: scale, arpeggio and chromaticism; Intervals and their properties.
    • Harmony and ways of constructing chords by thirds and fourths, “add” chords, etc.
    • Dominant scales such as superlocrian, overtone, diminished, augmented, whole-tone
    • The way to use “inside” and “outside” pentatonics, connecting them following chord progressions.
    • The most advanced rhythms will be taught, using as a sophisticated learning tool Hindu Konnakol.

The video and musical text are displayed simultaneously on the screen. In the improvisation examples, the sheet music and backup tracks are provided separately so that the student can practice his/her improvisation.
