Hey Sonic Junction Friends -
Dennis Gruenling here with the breakdown for the second chorus of my study song “Trill Seeker.” This chorus involves some drawn out distorted blues notes, rhythmic chords, and of course some more trills. Make sure you are practicing your trills to be able to pull them off evenly, consistent, and with clean notes. For the sections involving the chord accents, really make sure you have a good grasp of the groove, so the chords add to the pulse of the song. You may want to practice the chord accents by themselves to make sure you have a full understanding of the timing.
Enjoy!

Hi Dennis, When you scoop up from the slight bend on the 5 draw am I hearing a tiny piece of the 6 draw to get the distorted note ?
Yes, but just slightly.
Hi Dennis, Thanks for the quick reply. Really enjoying the lessons and appreciate the time you take to explain the details and subleties in your chorus breakdowns.
Hi Dennis --- can you remind me how you get the "distorted" note --- are you picking up a bit of an adjacent hole?
Yes, but only a little, as a little goes a long way with this technique.
hi Dennis! i 'm hearing' TA' when you do the chords at end of riff, is that what your mouthing mate?
Yes, that is bascially it. The "T" articulation is important. Good ear there :)
