Chord options

Hi! It's always fun to try to find interesting chord options for basic progressions. Here's some for 1-6-2-5 progression in D major. These kind of voicings really pop out from basic chords.

Turn around with double stops

Hi!

I tend to forget to use double stops in different playing situations. Here's one simple example of double stops.

Cheers, Mikko

Picking exercise

Here's example how I tend to practice picking technique sometimes. 1. Take one note, take another note. Move them one at a time and try to make motifs. 2. Press as gentle as you can with fretting hand. 3. Play clean by avoiding extra noises. https://youtube.com/shorts/cjDkgQ_8YmE?feature=share Free ...

Delay kind of efect by picking

Hi! I love using this down-down-up picking pattern. It reminds little bit like some fast delay effect. You can take simply just 5 chord (power chord) and use circle of fifths to make this kind of etude. All the best, Mikko https://youtu.be/_AjCgNIybPs Lähetetty minun SM-A035G laitteesta Tapatalkilla

Picking hand

Hi! Do you lean your fingers on the top of guitar's body? Most of the times I do but when recording I try to keep them away like in this video. That because they causes a noise when touching the guitar. Also in some fast runs I keep fingers on air. So personally I think it's good to learn both techn...

Finnish pop song on solo guitar

"Jos vielä oot vapaa" might be Finland's most beautiful popular song made in 1970. It is orginally sung by Markus and here's my guitar arrangement for it.

I wanted to try something new to me and that is Travis picking-kind-of-technique. I made guitar version of old song I really love. It's called Eva from 1959 composed by Benedict Silbermann. It was orginally sung by French singer Jacques Vérrièrs but Olavi Virta made superior version out of it and it...
