Welcome, classical guitar enthusiast! If you've been diligently working through the "Classical Guitar Essentials" series, you're now at a pivotal point in your journey. You've reached Grade 4 in the London College of Music exams, and that's no small feat! You've laid a solid foundation and are now comfortable navigating standard sheet music notation. This is where the real adventure begins.
Course Overview:
Part 1: Technical Mastery
-
Scales and Arpeggios: Dive deeper into your guitar's fretboard with the introduction of 3 octaves scales. This will significantly enhance your fingerboard knowledge and dexterity.
-
Preparation for Grade 4 LCM: The technical work in this section is crucial. Mastering these scales and arpeggios is key to building stamina and perfecting the muscle technique needed for longer playing sessions.
Part 2: Repertoire Expansion
I've handpicked three challenging yet rewarding pieces to expand your repertoire. Each piece presents its unique set of challenges:
-
"Etude in Em" by Francisco Tarrega: This Grade 4 LCM staple will not only improve your bar chord skills but also challenge your left-hand stretches.
-
"Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring" by J.S. Bach: A well-loved tune in the key of G major, this piece will test your knowledge of arpeggios in G and D major.
-
Main Theme from "Game of Thrones": Introducing a capo to tackle a challenging bar chord. This iconic melody will elevate your playing and showcase your newfound techniques.
Part 3: Intervals and Harmony Exploration
Intervals are the building blocks of harmony. While this topic is complex, I've given you a sneak peek in this course, with a deeper dive planned for later in the series. We'll wrap up this section with "Blackbird" by The Beatles, a piece that will bring these concepts to life.
Part 4: Effective Practice Strategies
You'll discover valuable tools and resources to streamline your practice routine. Don't miss the article at Classical Guitar Corner, an incredible online resource dedicated to classical guitarists. It's a treasure trove of information and techniques, all freely available.
