John Stowell with Ulf Bandgren

This is an informal hands-on discussion of different approaches and strategies for the guitar duo format.

Among topics covered are

• conventional solo/accompaniment ideas,
• simultaneous improvisation and counterpoint,
• bass lines,
• chordal ideas,
• bass lines and pianistic voicings,
• and some extended harmonic concepts.

The dialogue on camera is unscripted and informal, and Ulf and John’s different but complimentary approaches to teaching and playing bring many interesting ideas to light.
