How do you brew a veritable renaissance in acoustic guitar music? Mix equal
parts of percussion, harmonics and alternate open tunings. Spice freely with
tapping, hammers, brushes and groove. Flavor with invention and compelling
melody. Place all of the ingredients in the hands of an impressive assembly
of masters including, but certainly not limited to, Michael Hedges, Kaki
King, Jonatha Brooke, Preston Reed, Andy McKee and Vicki
Genfan. Then stand back in wonder and amazement.
3D
Acoustic Guitar from Vicki Genfan is a dream come true for we apprentices
and enthusiasts of this emerging and exciting new style of acoustic guitar.
Three years in the making, 3D Acoustic Guitar is the very first comprehensive
study program to pass on the technical skills and insight that are requisite
to master the style.
There's no one better qualified to guide your apprenticeship than Vicki
Genfan. Vicki spent the better part of 20 years experimenting with and
exploring the use of
 open tunings, percussive techniques, harmonic tapping,
bass note slapping and all of the other nuances of the style. Her expertise
and artistry was clearly validated by winning Guitar Player Magazine's
coveted Guitar Superstar award in 2008, rising above hundreds of other
contestants in the annual competition. Judges Joe Satriani, Steve Vai,
Elliot Easton, George Lynch and Brendon Small were unanimous in their
decision.
Vicki has organized 3D Acoustic Guitar into two sections. The first section
covers techniques; thumb slaps, harmonic tapping, harmonic brushing, left
hand harmonics, body percussion, hammering single notes and chords, vibrato
and how to establish and maintain groove. Vicki goes into great detail on
each technique and includes very effective exercises and
etudes to get you up and running very quickly.
 The
second section focuses on creating and exploring alternate open tunings.
While Vicki composes and performs in 31 open tunings, she thoroughly
explores five of her favorites (C2, Dsus, D2, C-9sus4 and C 6/9) replete
with six jaw-dropping, full-length performances of her most popular tunes;
Cause of You, New Grass, Let It Rain, Impossanova, Kali Dreams, C-9
Improvisation and the award-winning Atomic Reshuffle.
Each tune is meticulously notated and tabbed using a very clear and
inventive approach for notating this particular style. Also included in this
section, Vicki's 12 Steps to Exploring New Tunings is in itself, one of the
most ear- and eye-opening tutorials on the subject of open tunings.
Perhaps the most significant quality of 3D
Acoustic Guitar is how accessible the techniques are and how quickly you will be
able to employ them in your own playing. Naturally, honing the skills to perform
Vicki’s tunes at her level will take you many years, but this course is really
more about getting a grip on the style's tunings, percussive qualities and
right- and left-hand techniques.
Whether you work with Vicki’s tunings or
invent your own, as she very effectively demonstrates, you will be generating
exciting new sounds and making incredible new and original music from the very
first lesson. Join the renaissance! |
