Passion & Blood - Speed exercise in A harmonic minor scale (Spanish guitar tutorial) (Patreon)

A new speed building challenge!
"Passion & Blood" - Original Spanish guitar etude.

Difficulty level: Advanced

This etude is inspired by some of my favorite guitarists: Al Di Meola, Yngwie Malmsteen & Richie Blackmore. 

It is a fusion of Spanish guitar, classical music (Vivaldi, Bach), and modern rock guitar technique

This etude is challenging, yet extremally effective for:

- Build fast alternate picking technique (explained in the video)

- Left & right hand coordination

- Pinky finger strengthening

- Memorizing the A harmonic minor scale 

Tabs of the etude are available for download, as well as the A harmonic minor scale (both horizontal & vertical).

Enjoy and let me know if you've any questions

Learn Spanish Guitar

One of the subject I enjoy teaching the most is Spanish guitar.

I highly recommend Hal Leonard's "Flamenco guitar method" & "Classical guitar method" books, they are very well structured and I often use them in private lessons.

In a 10 lessons series we can learn together the basic techniques required for playing simple Spanish guitar pieces. Send me a message if you are interested

Reading musical notation

Another very important skill is learning how to read standard musical notation (not just tabs). Many guitarists choose to skip this one and stick to tabs, since it's easier and more intuitive. 

But for those who want to better understand musical concepts (scales, theory) and be able to play with other musicians, improvise & compose your own music, I highly recommend taking the time to learn standard musical notation. 

This is also a very healthy "brain exercise" (like learning a new language) and is very beneficial for people with concentration difficulties (ADHD, etc.), overactive mind & anxiety, since it helps you to create a state of extreme eye-brain-body focus & coordination. 

Next year I am planning to start a small group course where we will learn the basics of musical notation reading together, in a structured, easy way, using one of Hal Leonard's books.
More details (Dates, costs) will come soon.
