String Bending Institute Session 7
Welcome to Bending String Institute Session 7
When you buy the Orange Tree Guitar sample library you are going to get a beautiful presentation of presets, basically, a show of what this marvellous library is capable of.
When you capture the screen of your laptop, it proves to be something even more valuable: a ready set of lessons of most beautiful phrases with a plain view enabling you to do the same. Wow!
When you process it through a video editor by slowing it down 2 or 4 times, what you get is something you can follow to learn fret by fret.
You can use it to learn a regular guitar or a keyboard, or iPad controlled one.
This phrase is based on A minor pentatonic scale. The most beautiful scale I enjoy playing and listening for all days of my life and beyond.
Take notice of how and when to use your bends, have a look to the bottom left corner for pitch bend wheel work.
Here is how to do it
We start from 7th fret D, D#, E, G, A, C, A.
The D, plus a bend a half tone up and back to D, then C, A, C and A with a vibrato.
Now we bend the pitch wheel a whole tone down and strike E, let the pitch lose to get from D to E, then G, E, and A with a vibrato.
Then back G, and E. Now again D, plus a vibrato and a bend a half tone up and back to D, then C, A, C, D, and C with a vibrato, A with a vibrato, then G and E.
Now a double-stop E-A, a hammer-on E to F#, then back to E with A still sounding, and then D.
Now another double-stop C-A with a hammer-on from C to C#.
Now A, a double-stop D-F#, and a double-stop C-E with a hammer-on from C to C#.
Now A, G, a double-stop G-C with a hammer-on from G to A, and a pull-off back to G.
And again a double-stop D-A with a hammer-on from D to D#, and a pull-off back to D, C, and A with a vibrato, and G.
And you did it, again. Fantastic!
I really don’t know what to do with myself when I hear those beauties, come back for more. Much love!
