We're re-issuing one of Dennis's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Dennis:
Hey all you Harpsters of Sonic Junction! This week we will work on the next two choruses of “Scaled Down”. These choruses will include rhythmic chords, smooth drawn-out bends, and a lot of vamped single notes. Keeping the groove and playing in the pocket will be a big part of chorus 5 here, so make sure you are comfortable staying in the groove rhythmically while playing vamped single notes. Remember, a metronome is a good practice tool to help to get better at this...and have some fun with this!
