JD_2nd July 2016Love the phrasing development and progression with melody... Awesome Stuff G Man!
Hajduk3rd June 2016Love your playing Guido
playaxeman14th May 2016This give a good idea how to built a melody. Great concept.
hmm Kemper Profiling Amp: sounds very good: did you profile it yourself? Did you run the signal from the KPA straight into the Marshall Cab?
I think I will stick to my Hughes and Kettner Switchbalde 50 w for a while.
Guido Bungenstock14th May 2016Thx a lot, Kris. I thought it was just time to demonstrate How simple music could be. ;-)
Kristofer Dahl14th May 2016I love this lesson concept Guido, it's a great showcase of how something complex sounding is evolved from a simple melody. I think a lot of people get caught in all the little tricks they see people do, and actually miss the melodic thread in their lines.

Hi Guys,
Welcome to my lesson No. 30
This is lesson is about the most important (and sometimes the most difficult) things in music:
How to develop a melody? Or in another words: How to bring a melody to life so it sounds more organic or human?
To demonstrate the idea behind this, I start with a simple melody without any articulation or dynamic.
Then during this lesson i gonna develop more and more this simple melody by adding articulation, rhythm variations, dynamic, etc.
This will help you to create your own vocabulary and to find your own "voice"!
