Video Lesson - "Lenny Breau 101"

http://www.premierguitar.com PG's Pat Smith walks us through his lesson "Lenny Breau 101" published in the July '09 issue of Premier Guitar. In this video lesson, we see a few tips on how Lenny Breau did some of his signature moves like shell voicings, which is played by leaving out some notes while still implying a chord (the two most important notes in a chord are the 3rd and 7th). In addition, Pat shows us how Lenny thoughtfully used harmonics with his chords. Pat shows off some tips for artificial harmonics, but the real treat in this lesson is where he demonstrates how to play a chord one note at a time and by alternating the note with harmonics you can create a cascade of notes that gives the illusion of being all harmonics.
