An introduction should be played here
Hi guys, today let's record this video
to see how to play like Flamme Kapaya
Why Flamme Kapaya ? Because most of guitarists from the young generation
my generation (I am 29 now), and the younger
for most of us we've been looking up at Flamme Kapaya because of his guitar technic
But the truth is there are many amazing guitarists who has influenced me particularly
and they are not all famous
but for the moment let's say that Flamme Kapaya has been the main one
We could talk about other great guitarists in another video, those who brought good melodies
but it's not the topic of this video
Today let's talk about how to play like Flamme Kapaya with his fingering
I want to talk aboout the manner of holding the pick and to play with the right hand
synchronized with the left side
I have already made a video about that but let's revise it with other exercises
mainly for accuracy and power for the right hand
and synchronization with the right hand which is the most difficult
You have to know that the main difficulty you will meet when you start seben and all kind of arpeggios
Arpeggios is this manner of playing strings one by one
** sorry the guitar is not perfectly tuned (again) **
This is a manner of playing arpeggios, unlike this ...
This is when you place chords and play all the strings with the pick
So one of the first difficulty you meet when you play arpeggios
is this accuracy you need to get while using your pick
and synchronization with the right hand
Unfortunately for this there is no magic solution other than working hard
to automate the process with precision and to improve your power
to get your wrist muscles used to this kind of motions
with accuracy and synchronization with the left hand
It's very hard when you start
but it worth it, to get the right sound the right fingering, a very good style
So firstly how to hold your pick. Me I hold it like this ...
The thumb
Often you will noticed that guitarist other fingers are free
to use the pick and sometime the fingers like this one
to kind of pinch the strings like this
Unlike the gipsy jazz where most of guitarists hold strongly the pick like this
with a strong fist holding it by gipsy jazz lead guitarists
Sorry I can't do it, I prefer my way
with my hand open and placed here
I use my little finger here like a compass needle
Hey ! I forgot
The plectrum toughness
my one is pretty flexible
It's a 0.71mm
So it's neither too hard neither too soft like a sheet of paper
It's handful for this music style
where we stroke the strings
Exercises that I often talk about, the manner of playing is
the up and down way. Power is in the fact that I am accurate and each string
is heard precisely
There should not be missed strings like
There are so much lead guitarists playing so fast we can't deny it
and if you don't pay attention you would say "this guitarist is amazing"
but the truth is he misses so many strings and has a lack of accuracy in his style
I recommand you to work to have that accurate phrasing
very clean even when you will play with more speed
each string and each note have to be specificaly heard
I have already said but I repeat it
So if your tune played with the mouth is ...
I look foolish singing seben like this
With the guitar it should be this
This kind of transition inside the seben
This is the kind of part for some guitarists who lack accuracy
where you will notice missed strings
So you have to practice slowly
The exercise for that is to play up and down with the pick
in the right side if you hold your pick in the right side
do this type of exercise like in the key of G
Starting by this chord for example
Take your time to grow your power, your accuracy, and synchronization with both right and left hands
Then slowly speed up as you will need it to play arpeggios for seben
For rhythmic arpeggios I gave this exercise in another video let's see it again quickly
There is already a video about this exercise so if you want to see it again
you can click on this "i" button to get the link
There are so many synchronization exercises between the plectrum side and the fretboard hand side
but you just have to take your time whatever the exercise you will decide to practice
Choose one with a tune that will be easily used directly in your seben
like this one I said before
It's a short tune to absolutely practice in up and down picking style
It's G then C, D then C
And G. It's a "2 temps"
with shortened chords
By the way when you practice this kind of tune you improve your memory
this is also a hard part : to remember all notes one by one
it's hard in the beginning but then you will be able to play any musician's tunes easier
Then step by step you will speed up and add other tunes
So there are many many exercises to practice speed and power ...
I particularly stress the fact that you a have to practice up and down picking style
Up and down picking style is essential
Flamme Kapaya, as we pick him as an example, plays so much up and down
Everytime !
Even when he could play with a down stroke
He still plays up and down picking style like that
That's the case for him and all great guitarists
always up and down, up and down ...
Unless you play sweep picking
or double triple notes picking
in this case you will play down strokes like that
later I will explain more about this sweep
but most of the time keep in mind that we'll play up and down
even for rhythmic guitar
Always up and down picking style
So I encourage you to practice this taking your time
I know it's very hard it's one of the main difficulty as you will miss strings a lot in the beginning
and won't be perfectly synchronized so practice it slowly you will get it step by step
everyday you'll practice
on a scale, major or pentatonic scale, even some melodies it will come by itself
That's it it's a little technic to play like the greatest guitarists
among the bests who have the best melodies, the best technic and phrasings
very accurate and powerful
As I said before you have to play seben with accuracy, imposing presence, no shyness
No no no ! We dont' want that ! Be present while playing lead guitar
And this is something to practice slowly
It's not over with this technic I will keep talking about it
this manner of playing, for rhythmic guitar as for lead guitar
We'll add other exercises in next videos
Those we've just seen are already helpful, good to start and to get used
to play lead guitar with accuracy, power and an imposing presence
As always tell me what are your thoughts
Like and share this video and suscribe to the free lesson
which appears here, then you will receive it with pdf files, and the next lessons
and the messages I send in private
Anyway we are together, and you know how we always end ...
Always with a SEBEEEN !!
A DIPLOMATIC SEBEENN !! THIS IS THE SEBEN CONCEPT !!
