Phoenix Guitar League Workshop - June 11, 2024 – Acoustic Guitar Lesson Preview from Totally Guitars

Complete workshop is here: https://totallyguitars.com/lessons/29...

On June 11, 2024 Neil Hogan was the presenter for the monthly meeting of the Phoenix Guitar League. Bart Marshel, the Guitar League host, asked Neil to talk about a couple subjects- like artificial harmonics and using 3-string triads as a second guitar part.
This is Part 1, where Neil played Manha De Carnaval and Last Train Home, and even gave a short lesson on a bossa nova accompaniment rhythm.

The complete session is available to all at Totally Guitars.

Notes on the additional parts-

Part 2 – Natural Harmonics

We started the discussion on harmonics with the ones we naturally have on the 12th, 7th and 5th frets, eventually getting to even higher ones below the 5th fret.
A question came up about how a capo affects them, then another on how they can be used to tune the guitar. This method leaves something to be desired as far as accuracy, and that issue was addressed.

Part 3 – Artificial Harmonics

The next step in the harmonics world is artificial harmonics. This is a way to get any and every note as a harmonic, not just those available at the 5th, 7th and 12th frets. Songs demonstrated include Bethena and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Part 4 – Learn Some Notes

This segment is designed to help the student with note recognition, particularly on the 6th and 5th strings. Part of the strategy is to lock in a few natural notes as reference points.

Part 5 – 3-String Triads

This segment addresses one way to add a second guitar part when somebody else is playing the main chords and rhythm. We also end with some last thoughts on harmonics before signing off.
