Merci beaucoup. I'm just learning the fretboard now, using the circle of fifths progression as well as taking the 2-5-1 throughout the circle. What type of guitar are you playing at the end? It looks narrower. I have shoulder problems and so I'm playing the ukulele. A regular guitar is not possible, but that looked interesting.
You play an Ukulele? Six-stringed guitar Uke? - The guitar in my video is an original 1835 french guitar, which actually is smaller as the modern regular guitars. You could eventually consider 19th century replicas: they have normally a reduced scale length (630mm) and nut width linke electrical guitars. There are not too expensive models available that are not made by single luthiers.
I assume this is applicable to situations where you change from two two-note chords? I ran into a difficult-for-me situation in an arrangement of Bach's minuet in G that has this situation
Yes, absolutely. A chord needs at least two notes; if both are fretted and you want to play them legato while changing to the next chord, you run into this situation. What Minuet is it you're talking about?
@@joachimgeissler614Minuet in G. The arrangement in Christopher Parkening's method book 1. The measures 3 and 4 have a difficult C+F# to B+G, bass-soprano voicing 😁
@@dk7472 Ok. I would suggest to lift the 3rd on C (and the 1st on C) in the moment you play the F#. The Bass-Line isn't perfectly legato in that way, but that's no problem after a 3/4 note. - Use the 2nd on F# to prepare B-G in the air. In that way you have the melody legato, which is the important thing here. ;-)
@@joachimgeissler614Thank you!!! This does seem to help. I've been applying the tips in this video to some of the exercises I'm working on and so far it has been helpful. Keep up the good work!
