There’s nothing “sexy” about this
intensive from TrueFire’s educational guru, Brad Carlton. No fancy moves, no
killer licks, no theoretical epiphanies – absolutely nothing herein that
will get your blood moving fast. Unless of course, you share the same
attraction to the pain and suffering that pros have a penchant for while
developing Top Gun left and right hand
techniques.
These techniques comprise the requisite tool kit for achieving the economy
of motion and physical prowess necessary for monster play.
Carlton drills you on left-hand muting; left-hand stretching; left-hand
slurs; left-hand trills; left-hand finger rolls; right-hand staccato; hill
and valley picking; 1, 2 and 3-note per string picking; hybrid picking; 3 and
4-voice hybrid picking; pivot fingers; guide fingers; dragging fingers;
prepared guide fingers; 1-finger double-stops; harmonic finger rolls; finger
walks; string hopping; staccato voice; pedal tone bass; chord bass lines; 2,
3 and 4 finger exercises; standing on the bass; standing on the treble;
standing on 2 notes; and barre exercises.
Notice
anything odd about the preceding list? That’s right. No bends, tremolo,
legato, hammers or any of the usual “essential technique” suspects here (see
other TrueFire courses for the skinny on those). The techniques focused on
in Essential Techniques are not so much “expressive” as they are dexterous,
bordering on ninja for an intermediate to early advanced player (Attention
beginners! This is not a good place to start your guitar adventures).
Why then should intermediate and early advanced players dedicate time in the
shed to get a grip on these techniques? Short answer; no pain, no gain.
Better answer; to strengthen your physical faculty for performing at your
full potential.
We all have our share of “bad” left and right hand habits. These are the
speed bumps that prevent us from breaking through to that next level. They
keep us from developing speed, precision and fretboard torque. The toughest
part of Essential Techniques will be breaking those bad habits. The easiest
part of the course is learning the correct right or left hand technique. The
zen of Essential Techniques is the physical enlightenment you’ll notice
immediately in your playing.
