Free Guitar Lesson - Organizing Difficult Passages Into Groups of Notes

www.erichenderson.org Eric Henderson teaches his Technique for playing cleanly and fluidly. This lesson teaches the method of organizing fast passages of notes into simple groups of 3, 4 or 6 notes. This method promotes continuous accuracy and speed and makes a fast passage mentally as well as physically simple.

Eric's Mother first let Eric use her guitar when he was 6 years old, playing the guitar has been Hendersons passion. He was soon ready for his own, which he mastered so well that at 13, Eric was invited to Spain to become one of only three people to study privately with the master guitarist Andres Segovia.

Henderson spent the next four years in Spain learning to play classical guitar, while playing as much as 12 hours a day. In addition to Segovia, Henderson has studied guitar with Christopher Parkening, Angel Romero, Ernesto Bitetti, Emilio Pujol and Antonia Morales. He has studied Baroque interpretation with Ton Koopman and Henk Dekker, and theory and composition with Aureo Hererro. While in Spain he also had the honor of studying with the composer Federico Moreno Torroba, perfecting the interpretation of Torrobas Sonatina in A.

Thanks so much for your no nonsense approach to fast passage problem solving. It has helped me GREATLY! Did you learn that from Segovia or was it your own realization?

Thanks for the insight, Eric. I'm starting at age 64 and your "divide and conquer" practice technique makes good sense. Frankly, lessons are essential to get the hands in shape, but nothing could be more essential than practice techniques.

It would be a wonderful sharing if you would give a little story of each of your teachers, perhaps a practicing tip from them, and a bit of music at the end. Earl Ledden
