Hi!Thank you for visiting my page!Although I never had any formal training,my main interest is improvisation .I see improvisation as the higher musical achievement as long as you define it like an instant real composition.All the great classical and "modern" composers were outstanding improvisors, because to me the process is exactly the same,except the time left to do it!When I discovered there was a system (harmony)able to make you understand perfectly from inside any occidental music ,using only numbers to describe notes combinations possibilities(intervals and so on...),I was fascinated!If you can understand a process used by others,it means you can use it yourself to serve your own expression in the same language!Even if you are not Bach,at least you play who you are!I am interested in many guitar expression techniques,but consider technique itself as very secondary.In my opinion,we have first to know wich note to hit,then we will hit it anyway,since we absolutely understood it!And if we miss it,we instantly change the curve of the line to blend with this new and unvoluntary path!!I have a free e.booklet (in french,but...)about guitar and bass harmony basic basics at Lulu.com.
