Secret of two chords actually is two fold, it revels neck visualisation trick and starting point for developing harmonic richness.Ī) Neck visualisation trick shows how GB splits the neck in 5 positions. Don't play whole song at the beggining, just the part you want to practice your stuff on. Always practice this alone at first then apply it to song. scat singing - wording, listen to GB, Jon Hendrix and other cats singing/scating. subdivisions ABC's - this one is from the Complementary books about the rhythm. Following stuff you've got to practice until you can forget about it and play (because you will use this to express your self musically) : - left/right hand technique related stuff - scales fingering and picking (but the way GB plays them), triads, tetrads, staccato playing, other picking excercises like bee picking, rest stroke etc. Peter also stress this too, if you want to learn how to play you MUST practice every day and you must practice the same stuff every day. So, practice, practice, practice and practice. He is also known as a player who practiced for years more than 10 hours per a day. He made some crazy breakthroughs in technique, internalization and expression of music, harmonic understanding, rhythm and phrasing and who knows what. George is a musical genius who managed to convert all the complicated things to very simple ones. But, after learning this you will not be a copy of George, what you will learn is how to think like him. So, generally it can be said that this method is assembled to show how George Benson plays. maybe I'll add few more disclaimers later on because I can, I'm the OP.įirst I would like to talk generally about the method, what it brings, how different is, what's so innovate in it etc. please leave your arguments, bad manner and nasty language out of this thread. my comments are based on more than 110 Facebook group lessons, couple of skype lessons with Peter and 2 Complimentary books about the Rhythm I acquired from Peter. I'm NOT trying to convince you that this method is the best (altough I personally think so), I'm just trying to show what it is. Also, I would like to add that I've started similar thread on Jazz guitar forum, so most information that I will share will be on both forums, although I expect that the discussion will be probably different.īefore I start first few disclaimers: - my English is what it is, sorry - my goal is to show you guys what this method is all about, but I can't go very deep into it because I can't and I don't want to. As some of you know, I'm Peter's student for 2 years now and I decided to write about my experience with Peter's teachings.
