Exercises to Improve Phrasing and Feel

PART ONE: We begin by working with rhythm and its ties to phrasing melodic ideas. The main principle we cover is learning about how to build the melodic and rhythmic connections with similar and varied rhythmic meter between statements.

Eight examples are shared in Part One and each concept is offered in pairs so that the examples may be compared to each other. Through altering time and changing how a melodic statement is felt (on different beats) we can understand how timing will have a noticeable impact upon our phrasing of each statement.

Watch Part 2 of this lesson for examples that cover technical moves and that focus on how different types of composition tools can have an effect on a guitarists phrasing. Paid members can download the handout and the MP3 jamtrack in the members area at: CreativeGuitarStudio.com
