  • Greetings from Granada (Andalucia, Spain)!

    In this lesson we have a 4/4 beat with triplets. We have a folk taste using the electric guitar which sounds like a soundtrack film score. I use hybrid picking as usual in my style and octaves intervals for skipping strings. Some fragments sound like Eric Johnson, one of my favorites guitarists.

    Music Style: Folk, Ethnic

    Tonality & Chords:
    D Major
    D Mixolydian scale
    D Dorian scale
    D pentatonic minor

    Techniques:
    hybrid picking, double stop, octaves, sliding notes, harp harmonics

    Sound:
    I used a guitar Fender Telecaster Thinline 70's with clean sound and a little delay.

    Tuning: standard tuning: E,A,D,G,B,E

    Tempo: 120bpm (Slow parts at 75 bpm)

    D IONIAN MODE
