La lección de hoy trata sobre una técnica sumamente interesante que realiza el virtuoso Eric Johnson. Se trata de una técnica que por mucho tiempo pensé eran armónicos, pero al mirar de cerca, me di cuenta de que era algo completamente distinto. Espero les guste la lección!

In today's lesson I go over a really cool technique that Eric Johnson likes to use to embellish his playing called the Koto Technique. The first time I noticed the koto technique thought that he was playing the usual right hand harmonics that you see a lot of classical players use. But upon closer inspection I found that he was using a completely different technique altogether. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

La lección de hoy trata sobre una técnica interesante que aprendí de un una transmisión en vivo por medio de Twitch del guitarrista de Chon; Mario Camarena. La misma consiste en mezclar acordes arpegiados con algunas notas añadidas por medio de tapping con la mano derecha. Es la unión de dos técnicas relativamente sencillas y comunes para crear un sonido nuevo y más complejo. Espero les guste!

In today's lesson I go over a really cool technique that I learned from the guys in Chon. The whole concept of the technique stems from the song "But" and it revolves around arpeggiating a normal chord while adding some tapping right after arpeggiating the chord. Essentially it's two simple techniques that work together, creating a more complex and cool sounding effect. Hope you guys like the video!

En la lección de hoy explico una técnica bastante interesante para crear un sonido muy similar al de algunas de las movidas de Cory Wong (Vulfpeck, Fearless Flyers). La movida consiste en tocar una triada de manera en que estes tocando dos notas a la vez y mover estas dos notas un semitono de la raíz y regresarlo a la raíz. Espero les guste el video!

In today's lesson I go over a really cool technique that I got from one of my students. The whole concept stems around your everyday major and minor triads and just moving them around a half step down and then a half step back to its original position. All the while you're doing this, you are keeping your picking hand muting the strings at play to create that Cory Wong-ish sound. Hope you guys like the lesson!

La lección de hoy es sobre la técnica de Hybrid Picking y el cómo Kiko Loureiro (guitarrista de Megadeth y ex-guitarrista de Angra) la aplica de una manera bastante específica por medio de ciertos voicings y ritmos. Esperoles guste la lección!

In today's lesson I go over a very interesting technique that Kiko Loureiro (guitarist for Megadeth and ex-guitarist in Angra) likes to employ. It is a very original and signature sound in Kiko's playing and it all revolves around the technique of Hybrid Picking. The technique consists of playing mostly a power chord type of figure with a specific rhythm. This is all applied to the instrument by playing with both the pick and fingers. Hope you guys...

Esta última lección trata sobrelos arpegios al estilo Fingerpicking de Andre Nieri; aunque realmente no, realmente es una manera de hacer un poco de trampa con estos arpegios. En vez de ejecutar estos arpegios por medio de Finerpicking, explico cómo poder tocar los mismos con Swybrid Picking (una técnica hecha famosa por Marshall Harrison). Este truco lo aprendí de mi amigo y gran guitarrista Israel Romero y el mismo es sumamente práctico a la hora...

In today's lesson I go over a technique that I have been in love with ever since I first saw it in one of Andre Nieri's videos; although, I don't actually go over it. Ok, I'll explain, Andre Nieri has these amazing Arpeggio not really "Sweeps" that he performs with the aid of Finger Picking. In this approach he has some very specific arpeggios with String Skipping in them which makes using Sweep Picking almost impossible. So my friend Israel Romero...
