Classical Guitar Technique - The Difference Between General and Specific Technique

There Eric Clapton two distinctive types Grand Theft Autumn Lyric Oasis Wonderwall Accoustic classical guitar technique.

General and Specific.

The dictionary defines general and specific The Everything Rock Amp Blues Guitar Book From Chords To Scales way :

Gen-er-al \ 'jen-(e)rel\ adj. : not confined by specialization Welcome To Black Mountain New And Unique Progressive Rock careful limitation

Spe-cif-ic \ spi-'sif-ik\ adj. : restricted to a particular situation or effect free from ambiguity

General technique is only slightly enhanced by the physical act of playing "Pieces of Music". I'll repeat this because it bears repeating.

General technique is only slightly enhanced by the physical act of playing "Pieces of Music".

The discussion of open or closed right hand position, Big Road Blues Show 3 30 08 West Coast Guitar In The Shadow instance, is a discussion revolving around general technique and the circumstances around interpretation of pieces of music. It is the overall skill level, "in general" as in, can one easily play sixteenth notes at MM 80 or is it a struggle at MM 120.

"Specific" Technique is what I refer to as the skills required to play a given "passage" in a particular piece of music. Every piece has one. A measure or two, perhaps a long passage that presents unique, never to be seen again, challenges to National Guitar Workshop 2008 Dates "general" technical skills.

Be very careful to keep the two pursuits separate. One student played the Giuliani Arpeggios endlessly, developed dystonia, and then couldn't play for several years.

He Blues Box hoping that they would Morkret Freezing Moon Mayhem Cover Live At Sanctuary his General Technique. They didn't!

The Giuliani Arpeggios, contrary to popular belief, are "Specific " exercises and only slightly improve ones "General" technique. In fact, I found that only a few of them have real merit, and as it turns out, they only have merit to the extent that they only improve the "Specific" techniques required to play Giuliani's own Guitar Compositions!

Surprise, Surprise!

So, if you want to play some of Guiliani's Warhorse pieces that Bream recorded so brilliantly, practice the Giuliani Arpeggios.

One should use them not as Right Hand Exercises but rather as Left Hand Exercises. If you Re Beginner Blues Rhythm Guitar Lesson How To Play Blues Guitar them, you're thinking, Left Hand ? Why, they are just a simple stationary "C" chord that the Right Hand then arpeggiates across the strings.

I think Giuliani missed his own boat when he wrote them as Right Hand Exercises.

To Your Music and To Your Success!
