Welcome to Guitar Therapy - One to one Tutorship

Greetings all string-pulling, jumping, slamming, ass-kicking, ax-wielding musicians. This is for all of you guitar freaks out there! Don't be fooled so easily though, my private coaching sessions do not only cover guitar, but also music theory, learning pathways to advancing your music skills, composition, and basics of arrangements as well. So whether you want to shred out, or learn to write your own songs on your guitar, you are at the right place.

It's in a long time we are making, and I think it's finally time to give it away for the new generation. First, before I go any further, I want to say that I'm not a guitar guru, nor a music maestro, I consider myself always as a student of music. Yes, my primary instrument is music, and I also play piano, drums a little bit, and the bass as every guitarist would or should. I've been playing for 29 years and have enough experience teaching not only guitar but music production as well. I have formal education in music theory and music production from the International College of Music [ICOM]Malaysia in 2006. I've had the privilege to work with a lot of local artists in the Maldives and abroad. My main field in the music industry involves post-production work and compositions for TV and Ads and the like. I have played in local bands, some of the work which you will find in the Maldives local streaming app Baiskoafu. In the teaching field, my first job as a PADI diving instructor helps me mentor my students more effectively. I implement a lot of what I learned at PADI by the use of their teaching techniques and methods.

I'll be updating this blog regularly from now.  I hope to provide great content for not only my blog but also to my course Guitar Therapy tutorship as well. I will continue to freak down the structure and components of the course in this blog, so that all of you who are interested may get a deeper grasp of it's learning path.

Barre Chords [MT-6]

According to the Wikipedia definition it states; "In music, a  barre chord   is a type of  chord  on a  guitar  or other stringed instrument, that the musician plays by using one or more fingers to press down multiple strings across a single fret of the fingerboard (like a  bar  pressing down the strings). In guitar chord diagrams we seen how they are demonstrated in our previous sessions. A bar chord is demonstrated in similarly diagram as shown above. The diagram is interpreted in the guitar tablature manner, where the chord diagram is flipped 90 degrees. If you keep your guitar flat on your lap, that's the view of the diagram in tablature. [A topic which will be covered more extensively in GT sessions later]. The most important factor is knowing what the root note of that barre chords is. Root notes, octaves and more of these will also be covered at GT when I go in-depth with music scales and its applications. The root note on first diagra...

An In-depth look at Guitar Tabs

As we have seen in our previous session, which focused on the introduction of tablature, the diagrams differ from those of chord diagram illustrations. The numbers on the horizontal lines indicate the fret number rather than the finger number. You can see this when you keep going above the 5th or 6th fret on the guitar diagrams. To learn something, I believe the best teacher is a practical application itself. Therefore I have devised a fretting exercise, an improvisation from a Steve Vai exercise I came across a long time ago. It is advisable to use a metronome or if you can, maintain a count yourself while doing the exercise. First, we do it in a simple chromatic run starting from 1st fret on the 6th string. Examine the diagram below. It’s a simple chromatic exercise you start with lowest string and chromatically decend. Once you do then you ascend in the oppsite starting with your pink from the highest string. It’s important to have a metronome on or try and count yourself as you do ...
