    Playing Smooth - Eliminating the Robotic Sound in Your Playing

    By Steve Krenz

    Growing players tend to have a choppy, robotic sound to their playing.  They are playing the right notes (mostly) but it sounds like a broken robot is playing them.
    
    Goal: Play lines & chords flowing together – each note leading to the next.  Each chord dovetailing or overlapping into the next.
    
     
    The Solution: Focus on where notes are ending. Become aware of the overlapping of tones.
    
    1) For Single Notes Lines – Play lines with even rhythms letting each note flow into the next.
    
    2) For Chords – Let the notes ring together.  Move fingers independently so that some are holding notes while others are moving.
    
    Grab your guitar and let’s learn!

    Soloing Over 7th Chords & the Blues

    By Steve Krenz

    Soloing Over 7th Chords & the Blues
    
    Seventh chords are some of the most common types of chords but can be tricky to solo over at times. 
    
    
    Seventh chords have three main tones – the root, the major 3rd, & the flatted 7th.
    
    Here’s the problem: If you want to solo using pentatonic scales then neither the major or minor pentatonic scales work perfectly.
    
    The major pentatonic scale doesn’t include the b7.
    
    And the minor pentatonic scale doesn’t include the major 3rd - although it does include the bluesy sounding minor 3rd.
    
    So, it’s helpful to find other ways to approach this common chord.
    Grab your guitar and download the PDF and let's get started!
