Start using the beautiful sound of the guitar's open strings in your modern improvisations! I've put together a system for recognising the scales which can make use of the open strings.

Open strings are commonly used within different styles, from cascading country #guitartechniques to harmonically dense guitar voicings. This concept allows us to explore ways to get the open strings into our vocabulary so that we can use them for improvising and for single note lines.

This is a super fresh approach for your #jazz solos, lines, and musical language. Apply these techniques to more modern sounding #harmony and it will definitely take your guitar playing to the next level of sophistication.

The open strings ringing is truly a beautiful sound and one which is pretty unique to the guitar... so let's use them!
