Easy Guitar (with TAB) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1177429 Composed by Brian Streckfus. Arranged by Brian Streckfus. Instructional. Tablature. 13 pages. Brian Streckfus #777440. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1177429). Major/Minor/Pentatonic Forms for Guitar (Sheet Music + Tab + Fretboard)Learn every key on guitar with very few pages. Pages: 13Bonus Pages:1. A Major Scale across the full neck (to see how they all combine resulting in knowing the full neck)2. Blank scale chart to add in memorization and making alterations.Scales included:1. F Major2. C Major3. G Major4. D Major5. A MajorTips:1. There is a reason why it is not 12 or 24 scales. Since these scales are easy to move higher or lower, just these 5 Major will lead to all 24 major/minor keys throughout the entire fretboard. Therefore, making a C# Major scale chart is uneccessary, and if you are doing so, you may be over thinking music. Instead, it is better to ask yourself how do I play C major but 1 pitch higher and use previous work you have done to your advantage. 2. These scales do not end on the home note. This is a disadvantage in this way, however, knowing large portions of the scale neck in one position will allow you to play a key throughout the fretboard with no gaps in notes. In otherwords, learning one ocatave scales can have concise music theory, but it's impossible to know the scale in every part of the neck completely that way. Features:1. Color coding. Blue notes are home (tonic) notes. Red notes are away (dominant) notes. Simplifying harmony this much can often make you more creative not less since you are crafting the harmonies yourself. 2. Left hand fingerings added. Don't mistake these for fingering numbers.3. Letter names to aid in memorization.Notes:I realize that the hand written font doesn't look the most professional, however this is intentional. I tried making these in photo editors, but since every shape was perfect they were actually harder to memorize from (kind of living driving in a tunnel with no landmarks).

Easy Guitar (with TAB) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1163675 Composed by Brian Streckfus. Instructional,Singer/Songwriter. Tablature. 1 pages. Brian Streckfus #764016. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1163675). This study/etude makes modes a much more fun and practical exploration, rather than feeling like abstract theory. Also, since all seven are used in the key of C major, this study/etude allows someone to quickly memorize how modes work. The modes are diffucult to memorize because of their foreign names. This makes this piece have great replay value since it will take a few run throughs to memorize them. Tips:1. Each mode has one special note. It is a great exercise to figure them out. For example, the B natural in D dorian sections is the special note. This B natural should have been a Bb in the key of regular D minor.2. This piece is a good example of what I like to call half step gravity. For example, in measure 12, the B has more gravity to go to C than A because C is closer. B to C would be a half step. B to A would be a whole step.3. This piece is a good example of bass notes setting the tone and vibe. I invite performers to change the bass notes to see what I mean. For example, a constant C bass note would lead to a problem free sound, whereas a constant B bass note leads to a more uncomfortable metal music sound.4. This piece is a good example of how we hear a chord from the bass note on up. For example, an E minor chord with a B in the bass might actually function more like a B7 with suspended notes.5. This piece is a good example of a perfect authentic cadence (PAC) with a final A minor chord tonic (home) chord with an A in the bass and soprano voices.

Brian Streckfus #870305. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1278738). Pages: 7Key: Transposed from G minor to A minor (whole step down tuning)I included both the tablature version and just the sheet music version so that this is more inclusive. Just be careful of your printers settings if you don't want to print the whole pdf!Chopin is my favorite composer and this is great piece. It is ambitious to arrange and perform this on guitar. Compromises have to be constantly made, and so of course some bass clef notes or duplicate letter names have been removed. The B section is especially difficult since all notes might be possible if it was played an octave up, but then the mood and tone completely changes. 1. Arranged for guitar. 2. Slurs added 3.

Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1136061 Composed by Brian Streckfus. Instructional,Jewish,Multicultural,Religious,Sacred,World. Guitar Tab. 1 pages. Brian Streckfus #736086. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1136061). If someone is yawning saying, I'm sick and tired of playing music in the key of C Major, I want to use a scale hardly anyone uses. Then this piece is for you.1. Guitar Arrangement2. Guitar Tab3. Less stereotypical chords 4. Fingerings and letter names added to aid in sight-reading 5. Voice leading considerationsThe Scale I used is: D Eb F# G A Bb D. The name of it would be something bizarre. These names include: Jewish, harmonic major, or a mode of G harmonic minor. If I included a C#, it would be a symmetrical scale that can't be retrograded, adding to the mathematical mystique. An exotic sounding atmosphere was what I was going for.Tips:1. Since it is exotic, microtonal pre-bends seem appropriate to make it even more exotic sounding. That is what the upwards pointing swoosh means. Perhaps the sound of a sitar was what I was going for.2. Slides also make it sound more exotic.3. Exotic music uses drone tones more often than American music. Therefor, droning a low D made sense.4. The naming of chords would be quite difficult since it is more of an alien music language than a western one. I just left them out this time. Names would happen such as Dadd4(b9)omit3. Pretty alien chords if you ask me, and you can see that the western chord nomenclature is struggling to name it elegantly. Anytime chords are build in 4th and 5ths rather than 3rds, usually the name that results is quite complex.5. I added unisons because it makes it sound more mysterious in my opinion.
