BOAS-VINDAS

Bem-vindo ao curso! Aqui, trataremos de todos os detalhes a respeito do curso e o que você precisará saber para tirar o melhor proveito de sua experiência.

Guitarra Acústica/Elétrica e os Fundamentos

Esta aula ensinará os nomes das partes da guitarra acústica/elétrica e deixará você à vontade com o instrumento.

COMEÇANDO – HABILIDADES FUNDAMENTAIS PARA A GUITARRA

Nesta aula, você aprenderá a afinar e começará a tocar seu instrumento começando do zero! Seja paciente e lembre-se: concentre-se na precisão e toque em tempo constante, usando seu metrônomo. Isso é muito mais importante do que tocar com velocidade.

OS DOZE SEMITONS E NOTAÇÃO BÁSICA

Embora você não precise ser um especialista em teoria musical para tocar guitarra, é importante conhecer os blocos básicos de construção da música. Com essa compreensão, a música não estará mais envolta em mistério e complexidade. Esta aula apresenta ideias musicais fundamentais de um modo divertido e não intimidador.

ESCALAS: CONSTRUÇÃO E DIGITAÇÃO

Nesta aula, vamos nos aprofundar nas escalas. Não se intimide. Alguns de vocês podem ter ouvido falar em escalas ou mesmo praticado escalas. Pode ter sido em aulas de piano. Muito provavelmente, não foi muito entusiasmante para vocês. Esperamos que você considere a abordagem de escalas da aula 4 muito mais fácil e até mesmo divertida.

ACORDES: CONSTRUINDO TRÍADES SIMPLES E POWER CHORDS

Nesta lição, você usará todas as habilidades adquiridas nas lições anteriores para construir a base da harmonia. Você tocará certas notas da escala ao mesmo tempo para criar acordes. Vamos ver por que os acordes soam como eles soam, como construí-los, como tocar facilmente acordes em posição aberta, e como tocar acordes por todo o braço do instrumento.

JUNTANDO TUDO: A ESCALA PENTATÔNICA E MÚSICAS

Agora que você tem a “ciência” da guitarra nas mãos, você aprenderá algumas músicas. Você fará isso usando a melodia (das escalas) e a harmonia (dos acordes) que aprendemos. Você também aprenderá uma escala essencial para tocar melodias e fazer solos
