Restrictions for the Modern Guitarist
Got very little sleep, this stuff is great Dana, working systematically through all 5 shapes wow!! instant original ideas, phrases, excercises etc. Not to mention doing it through changes or adding articulations/ rhythmic variations. This stuff really is starting to feel like a launching point to a whole new realm of ideas I could stop the video right here and spend a year just on this part lol.
This morning I have already filled up a piece of sheet music with ideas that I have never done in the last 30 years and I am just scratching the surface, just remarkable.
Bob Pfeiffer - Guitarist
Improv Blocks is a series of modules on different restrictions, the first being
"Any Two Notes".. its simplicity has opened up so many beautiful phrasing ideas, it is impossible to express. It also has the wonderful effect of feeling that you can be adventurous and create something completely unique with ease, at any time ...
Improv Blocks is about another very serious idea as well. Instead of running endless scales and arpeggios,. This cutting edge approach brings everything down to small increments that help you develop your ear, technique, visualization and of course, most importantly, your phrasing. This process has opened up doors that I didn't even know existed. By disciplining myself and working consistantly on these different restrictions.......more and more I have been able to walk away from lick playing and move into a completely different and exciting world of improvisation..based on a new way of thinking! .................Dana Robert Rasch
