Speaking of Harmony - Episode 45 - Timbre is Key!

Published: April 30, 2020, 8 p.m.

In this episode I talk about a very important trait of the guitar - the ability to play the same pitch with different tone color - Timbre. That is a major asset to explore, and I show how to explore that by playing a little excerpt from the tune "Autumn Leaves" in 3 different regions of the instrument, pointing out how different they sound on a scale of bright --> dark and how playing the same idea in different regions can give you other paths and new doors to explore with both melody and harmony. Enjoy!
