🎸 8 Strings Guitar Essentials (Warm Up and Riffs): Dive into the World of Thumb Technique with Rafael Bianzeno!
Course Introduction:
Welcome to the world of 8-string guitar, where every string tells a story and every riff is an adventure! I'm Rafael Bianzeno, and I'm thrilled to have you join me in this course designed to elevate your playing to new heights. Thank you for your interest in my video lesson, where we will embark on a journey through warm-up exercises, essential riffs, and beyond.
Right Hand Exercises & Thumb Technique:
Get ready to master the thumb technique! In this video, I'll guide you through some targeted exercises for your right hand. The key to nailing this technique lies in the proper wrist position – take a moment to observe my hand movements and pause when necessary to ensure you grasp the technique correctly.
- Wrist Positioning: Pay close attention to how I hold my thumb for a pick-like experience. This is crucial for the exercises that follow.
- Warm Up Routines: I'll share with you the daily warm-up exercises that are an integral part of my practice routine, preparing your fingers and muscles for intense playing sessions.
Exploring Rock/Fusion Chord Progressions:
Let's dive into some chord progressions that I use in my original song "Changes." These progressions are not just for playing the song; they're a gateway to understanding complex musical ideas and can be applied to a multitude of other songs and genres.
- Drum Guidance: Each example is accompanied by drums to guide your timing, played in various note values from quarter notes to sixteenth notes.
- Chord Progressions: You'll learn these progressions in a way that will make them second nature, ready to be used in your own music creations.
Mastering 6 Original Songs:
This course is not just about technique; it's also about applying what you learn to real music. I've included 6 of my original songs from the album "Changes," complete with tabs and backing tracks for you to practice along with.
- Tablature & Guitar Pro Files: All the song tabs are provided in PDF files, along with the corresponding Guitar Pro files for a more interactive learning experience.
- Backing Tracks: The accompanying backing tracks will allow you to hear how your playing fits into the larger musical picture, making it easier to learn and execute the riffs and songs.
The Journey from Exercise to Song:
As we progress through this course, you'll see how simple exercises can evolve into powerful riffs and full-fledged songs. My goal is to show you my personal approach to writing songs and incorporating the thumb technique into my playing style.
- Songwriting Insights: You'll gain valuable insights into my songwriting process, revealing how complex music can be created from basic exercises.
Enjoy & Practice:
I hope you find this course as rewarding and inspiring as I did while creating it. Remember to take your time, practice regularly, and most importantly, have fun with the instrument! I'm excited to see where your 8-string guitar journey takes you. Until next time, keep those strings ringing!
Happy playing, Rafael Bianzeno
