(Method of instruction)
Jimmy's initial musical instruction with his students begins
with the basics of tuning-restringing your instrument. String/note names,
getting to know your goals with the instrument, and what playing style you wish
to pursue. From there the real instruction begins with:
-
Chordal structure (major, minor, augmented, and diminished),
position playing, triads "closed and spread voiced" intervals. The
pentatonic scale, the diatonic melodic minor, and harmonic minor modes,
arpeggios "both triadic and four part", the diminished scale, song analysis, intonation, and improvisational techniques.
-
Picking techniques including: Strumming patterns, alternate
picking patterns, sweep picking, natural harmonics, pinch/artificial
harmonics, legato style picking, sliding, hammer-ons, pull offs, triplets,
quintuplets, septuplets, bending the strings, and the use of your tremolo
bar "if applicable".
-
Using different techniques/special effects to alter tones
including: vibrato, staccato, tapping harmonics, and effect pedals designed
for acoustic and electric guitars.
-
Learning songs that student request's, such as songs on the
radio and writing songs to apply the materials talked about
above to implement the techniques in every one of my students playing.
