Hello Friends of Guitar Clinic, how are you guys doing? I hope everything is fine with you! Last month we talked about our new subject and I hope you guys did a great job doing those mechanic exercises, because for this edition I came up with two exercises which show you two different ways to use two hands.

Example 1

This exercise is a mix of playing A minor pentatonic and E minor pentatonic. On the right hand ,you are going to play one note of the E minor pentatonic which is going to be followed by another note of the A minor pentatonic played using your left hand.The most interesting part of this exercise is how it sounds.I wrote this exercise in a very slow tempo, but you can play faster as soon as you have it under control. Notice that you can play the notes on your right hand using just one finger, but you also can use two fingers. Do this the way you feel more comfortable.

Example 2

This one is based on the diminished arpeggio which for those who don't remember is formed by root , 3rd minor, 5th diminished and 7th diminished. This sound pretty much like a neo classical lick, and you need to use your four fingers of the right hand to play this one. Make sure you get this well done before playing faster.

Thanks you for your time and soon my new personal website is going to air,
