    Playing Fast Flamenco Style Tuplets With a Pick Using Hybrid Strumming

    That's a good point, Solodini. We could even say that the two approaches are the same cyclical process, just out of phase by 1/3 the period :-).

    Playing Fast Flamenco Style Tuplets With a Pick Using Hybrid Strumming

    Cool, thanks russmuller, I'll give that a shot. I've been working on triplets as -middle finger down -pick down -pick up That also loops pretty well. I'm going to try your idea as well though, thanks!

    Playing Fast Flamenco Style Tuplets With a Pick Using Hybrid Strumming

    Hey everybody, I just did a lesson on a technique I came up with that I'm calling hybrid strumming. The idea is to play rhythmic tuplets like a flamenco player, only using both fingers and the pick to strum. I hope you like it! Gianmarc

    How to know every note in any key (and all the basic chords)

    I recently did a lesson on my youtube channel that teaches you how to quickly figure out all the notes and basic chords in any key signature. I think this could be very useful for beginners, so I thought I'd share it. I hope you like it!

    How to Know Every Note and All the Basic Chords in Every Key Signature

    I did a basic music theory instructional video for my youtube channel last night that I think came out pretty well. It can take the viewer from not knowing the notes or chords in any scale to being able to figure out the notes and basic triads in any major or natural minor key signature in less...

    I'm in a music video! ("Let it Go" parody - Chemistry theme)

    Hey everybody! I just wrote/recorded a parody of Let it Go for the University of California, Irvine, Chemistry Department. I did all lead and backing vocals, and the guitars. I'm also the long haired guy in the video :-). I didn't bust out the 8 string for this one, but hopefully you won't...

    Break out of single position playing, navigating the fretboard

    I just did a lesson on breaking out of single position playing for my youtube channel. There is a brief demonstration in the beginning, and then the lesson focuses on explaining a strategy for mapping any scale of interest up and down the fretboard instead of teaching specific licks. I hope you...

    Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it. Live is a great band, saw them twice. Ed is an amazing performer. Lakini's Juice is a great song :-)

    Singing two notes at once

    Cool :-). I know the sound you're talking about, I can do it a little bit myself. I'll probably do a video on it once I get a little better at it myself.

    Singing two notes at once

    Thanks a lot everybody!! I haven't tried incorporating vibrato with the tongue, but the tongue is needed to shape the overtones (same way you change pitch while whistling), so it would probably be tough to pull off. Thanks for posting those other overtone singers. Christian Bollmann is...

    Singing two notes at once

    I love Alice in Chains, I used to listen to their self-titled album all the time back in the day :-). I'm afraid the reference here is escaping me though, did Lane Staley use overtone singing?

    Singing two notes at once

    Cool, thanks for listening everybody! I've seen that Ghengis blues thing, pretty sweet. I first got into singing overtones because I went to go see the Dali Lama speak, and his "opening act" was a Tuvan throat singer that accompanied himself with a guitar-like instrument like the one the dude...
