MONDAY @ Track 6 RHYTHM FIGURE #36 GENRE: Folk/Rock TONE: Acoustic or Clean Electric 0:00 MUSIC DESCRIPTION: Like last Monday's example (Rhythm Figure #29), this folk/rock figure, performed in 6/8 time, is a barre-chord workout. Afier opening with an open A chord, the example moves up the fretboard, where arpeggiated fifth- and sixth-string barre chords outline the F#m, D, and E changes, as well as the final A chord, TIP: When moving from one barre chord to the next, keep your index finger lightly barred across the strings, sliding it up the neck to its next destination, rather than lifting your entire hand from neck and having to replace it. This approach results in cleaner and more efficient chord changes. ie Pore PoE Peel TUESDAY @ Track RHYTHM FIGURE #37 GENRE: Country TONE: Clean 0:19 MUSIC DESCRIPTION: This five-bar figure is the A major version of last Tuesday’s modern country rhythm (Rhythm Figure #30) with a couple of modifications. Instead of an open-position A chord opening the progres- sion, a fifth-fret triad voicing is paired with the open A string. Also, in measure 3, a fully fretted sixth-string major barre chord handles the IV chord—in this case, D major—in place of an open-position power chord (i.e., Ds), TIP: To perform the hammer-on in measure 1, barre your index finger across strings 1-3, hammering on with your middle finger. This approach will put your fingers in place for the three-note arpeggiation that follows. In measure 3, after strumming the bottom four notes of the D barre chord, use an upstrum to articulate the top two strings in the second half of the measure. news a samc ” Ante eenoem--—-+ $ + | 4 t 1 Sk et 8 ; i ceo Tt Pa rr Z 4 ij iB 0 9 eof + t
