This 45 minute class is packed with useful and fun II-V-I inner line counterpoint maneuvers in a minor key. The exercises help ingrain in one’s mind and fingers the key concepts in arranging and improvising in a linear, multi-line manner.

Steve shows you how to create inner moving lines within 10^th and 13^th intervals. The examples follow close voice-leading principles and will help develop both left and right hand finger independence and dexterity. After a section of 3-note chromatic approach patterns in the inner voice, Steve includes longer phrases with 16ths and 8^th note triplets to add rhythmic variety. Bass syncopation is later added for further rhythmic interest.

These basic concepts will help get your arranging and solo guitar improvising and technique to a new and exciting place.
