  • Hi Guys,

    Welcome to my lesson No. 103 called "Slow Phrasing"

    In this cool lesson we gonna learn how to phrase slowly and with passion.
    One of the most difficult things in music.

    When it comes to slow phrasing in a song, every note should be as precise as possible.
    But beside this it's also a must to play every note with feeling. Therefor the guitar offers 100.'s of different phrasing techniques (also called musical ornaments)

    In general:
    If you learn a new melody, first focus on the main notes (sometimes this is just a very simple line!) and then add different phrasings to it and suddenly the melody comes to life.


    Have fun!
