Bending String Institute Session 4

Welcome to Bending String Institute Session 4

When you buy the Orange Tree Guitar sample library you are going to get a beautiful presentation of presets, basically, a show of what this marvellous library is capable of.
When you capture the screen of your laptop, it proves to be something even more valuable: a ready set of lessons of most beautiful phrases with a plain view enabling you to do the same. Wow!
When you process it through a video editor by slowing it down 2 or 4 times, what you get is something you can follow to learn fret by fret.
You can use it to learn a regular guitar or a keyboard, or iPad controlled one.

Power chords and a nice vibrato

This phrase is based on A minor pentatonic scale. The most beautiful scale I enjoy playing and listening for all days of my life and beyond.

Take notice of how and when to use your bends, have a look to the bottom left corner for pitch bend wheel work.

Here is how to do it

We start from A, then A an octave higher, C, G, and D with a bend a whole tone to E.

Then we let the pitch wheel lose (we are already familiar with this, right?) to go down back to D, then C, and A. Now A and a power chord A (no third): A, E, A.

Now the lowest E, then G power chord (G, D), again lowest E, and a power chord G# (G#, D#), and A power chord (A, E).

Now again A, C, A, D, and C with a nice vibrato, and end it with A.

From A play G, and go down the pentatonic from A, G, E, C, C#, E, and A plus A power chord.

And you did it, again. Fantastic!
