Hello GuitarMasterFriends, lot of time has past since my last touch technique lesson so now it's the time to work hard in this technique. Come on, let's gonna move our right hand fingers ;)

ABOUT THE LESSON:
I play a fast melody with my rigjt hand while I play the root notes with my left one. It seem easy, isn't it? ... well, it's really difficult, specially if you don't have strengh enough, so it's important to play as accurate as possible and as perpendicular as posible, because in this way you will need less efford and it means a better tune ;)

SOUND TRICKS:
Use clean sound with some reverb and a strong delay. And the most important is to use a great compression, because it's not weird that the notes played with the right hand sound with less volume than the notes played with the left hand.

HOW TO ABOARD THE LESSON:
First of all learn the melody, you can begin playing it with the left hand and then try to play it with the right hand. Then practice the first part (video 2) and look that I don't play more than one note in each time. Then try the next part (video 3) and it's important that you think in BOTH HANDS TOGETHER.
Last part is not difficult, just notice that you are playing THE SAME PATTERN with both hands ;) Remember, think in both hands together.

SCALE: E minor

TEMPO: 130 bpm

That's the more difficult part. Before playing this part try to play the righ hand melody and get a good sound, 'cos that's the most difficult in this lesson.
Then you can play all notes and sincronize both hands.
