Tim Miller – Guitar Ensemble Techniques
Your favorite guitarist didn’t become your favorite guitarist without the support of other musicians. The most important skill for a guitarist to learn is the exact same skill that was so important in kindergarten: playing well with others. Guitar Ensemble Techniques gives guitarists the essential and practical skills to play well with others in any ensemble situation. This course begins with daily warm-up techniques that help you prepare for rehearsals, jam sessions, and stage performances. From there, you’ll explore chords, scales, improvisation techniques, time accuracy, tone production, ear training, and the many aspects of jamming with other musicians. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to confidently interact with other musicians in a group setting and bring your A-game to any jam session you join.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- warm up effectively for a performance
- accompany other musicians with essential chord forms
- improvise over a variety of different chord progressions
- perform with a solid rhythmic foundation
- play with a personal touch that allows your unique sound to shine
