SESSION 2: Playing Song Melodies and Solos in Closed Position |
Using Arpeggios and Closed Position to Play Song Melodies and Solos, Part 1 |
In this workshop Joe works on developing your knowledge of and fluidity within a closed position using your first finger (and pinky) on the root note. Call it an “oasis of knowledge,” moveable for every key! Using several melodies and transcribed solos, including David Grisman’s “East Virginia Blues” and Dan Tyminski’s “I Can't Get You Off of My Mind,” he shows you some patterns and how they are applied in the real world. In this video, Joe reviews the closed-position arpeggio shapes you learned in the last session and introduces arpeggios in first and second inversion. He also shows you the melody to “East Virginia Blues” and David Grisman’s solo.
