Fretography: October 2014
http://fretography.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2014. The image of the guitar above is positioned essentially as you would see it holding it in playing position. Perhaps one of the worst habits you can acquire in your pursuit of guitaristic fluency is connecting the idea of "up" and "down". On the fretboard with anything other than pitch. It has nothing to do with how close a particular string is to the floor or ceiling.Think of how the same terms – up and down –. If you're still reading, your answer is "no.". Yes – it's so...

Fretography: May 2014
http://fretography.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 25, 2014. Here's on of my favorite exercises. You can cover most of the fretboard with a circular, repeating arpeggio comprising the notes G B D F A ascending, and A F D B G descending. When played as shown in the diagram — in the key of C — the same notes can be played in a symmetrical arrangement with the 5th fret at the center. There are actually 3 triads in this pattern; G major (GBD), B diminished (BDF) and D minor (DFA). Name the notes as you play them. Anyway, here's an hysteresis loop;.
