This first micro study focuses on the 120 bpm tempo and being able to coordinate the RH with the LH, across the fretboard in one fluid idea.<\/p>\n<h3>KEY Strategy<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Know your notes &#8211; well<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a classic 6 note repetitive idea that was inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aldimeola.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Di Meola<\/a>&#8216;s early phase &#8211; the &#8217;70&#8217;s Gibson Marshal era. (Elegant Gypsy is a fantastic album to check out from this period. See below for some ear\/eye candy from this album.)<\/p>\n<p>The idea works the 1 2 4 &amp; 1 3 4 LH finger combination. Its musical material is formed out of diatonically transposing micro study 14 into the phrygian and aeolian modes, along with a 1 octave, and then 2 octave transposition. (Check the dots below). This time it takes in the fretboard over 2 octaves.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1913\" src=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-two-modes-graphic.png\" alt=\"Micro Study 16 Put together 1 two modes graphic\" width=\"2209\" height=\"2698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-two-modes-graphic.png 2209w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-two-modes-graphic-246x300.png 246w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-two-modes-graphic-768x938.png 768w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-two-modes-graphic-838x1024.png 838w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2209px) 100vw, 2209px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already, check out this post, <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/fretboard-orientation-1\/\">Fretboard Orientation<\/a>, on learning your fretboard properly, as I am using the displaced octaves technique (See Below) from it, in conjunction with micro study 14&#8217;s musical material.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1914\" src=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-octave-targets-graphic.png\" alt=\"Micro Study 16 Put together 1 two modes graphic\" width=\"2138\" height=\"2705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-octave-targets-graphic.png 2138w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-octave-targets-graphic-237x300.png 237w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-octave-targets-graphic-768x972.png 768w, https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Micro-Study-16-Put-together-1-octave-targets-graphic-809x1024.png 809w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2138px) 100vw, 2138px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here the idea is to practice the chunk\/idea at all of its start notes, F#, in a fluid line that ascends the fretboard<\/p>\n<h3>Other Info<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: This study is in the key of G major, however the original idea is built off the 7th degree of the scale and so is more appropriately a mode &#8211; mode 7 or a locrian scale fragment. This original then gets further transposed, diatonically &#8211; basically staying in the key just working off certain target notes, to: phrygian and aeolian mode as well.<\/p>\n<p>(Not sure about modes?

Stay one step ahead of your fingers, mentally. As you play, talk to yourself about where you are going; kind of like a navigator does for a pilot. That way the ideas will fluidly flow across the fretboard.<\/p>\n<h2>Want More?<\/h2>\n<p>Click the links below if you want to get faster with your arpeggios.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yKdl-rh\">Beginning of #6stringinspiration series link<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Want the Dots?<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarrocks.com\/cgr\/?ddownload=1912\" title=\"Micro 15 &amp; 15 + extra\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ddownload-button button-blue id-1912 ext-pdf\">Micro 15 &amp; 15 + extra<\/a>\n<p><iframe title=\"Flight Over Rio\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7mLAQh2HBWk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Micro study 16 &#8211; fast scales 3, is part of a series &#8211; #6stringinspiration &#8211; of short and sweet studies that target very specific musical bars or techniques.
