Premier Guitar Lesson - Harmonic Minor Example

This video is to supplement a very geeky article I got to write for ‪@premierguitar‬. You can check it out here, where you'll find transcriptions/tabs:
www.premiergui...
⚠️This article will NOT be for everyone, but it was an absolute joy and education to pour so much into this one. 🤘🤓
Hope it might be helpful, interesting, or at least entertaining to anyone willing to read a VERY long lesson on compositional techniques rooted in the classics and being used by modern day guitar players... and how these techniques can expand you creatively.
Thank you to the composer/gutiarists included--Steven Mackey, ‪@AlexandraZernerRocks‬, Jonathan Kreisberg, and ‪@OfficialDanieleGottardo‬ --for making the time to help me make sure I got things right.
And for anyone who actually makes it through the looooong and dense article, I'll be releasing a few more videos of the more technical examples in the coming days.

Love your tone! So smooth!

[@gretchenmenn]

Thank you so much!

@@gretchenmenn What's your signal chain? Your Silo SSS is just so warm and liquid. Not what I'd typically expect from single coils. I'm an EBMM guy myself. Majesties and JPs for the most part. You have good taste in guitars.

Just been trying to learn some Harmonic Minor which I discovered can be played on all of Minor Swing chords - I seem to remember somebody playing a brilliant version of Minor Swing - oh yeah - YOU !!!!!

[@gretchenmenn]

You are VERY kind. Gypsy Jazz is such a wonderful musical dialect, and I'm really trying to learn more about it lately. Have fun with those leading tones! The Major 6 also works well as a color note over the i and iv chords in Minor Swing (so F# over the A min and B over the D min). 🤘🤓

Great article! Appreciate the writing and the demo!

Ha! Just a quick idea, as the intention of the article is to encourage guitarists to try new compositional techniques. 🤘🤓🎼🎸But I'm working on a very involved new album, so new, substantial music is underway!
