Full Circle - Learning from Twelve and Six Strings
|
When I think about my beginnings as a player and how I struggled to understand the picking patterns that constantly swirled around in my head, I recall how fortunate I was to have a 12 and 6-string guitar in my collection. In those early years, there was much trial and error to my composing and by engaging in the challenge of writing for and playing with 6 and 12 strings, I gave myself a head start on the techniques needed for conquering both instruments. A thoughtless pattern here, a harmonic there, a couple of bass notes chucked in for the heck of it, and something always came out of the cooker, particularly as I randomly searched for the hidden personality of my 12-string guitar.

Light My Fire - Chapter Four

So you finally have a few tunes under your belt. Now it is time for a process or creation of a method for a maintenance program of your ever-developing library of music. I have been able to maintain about a five-hour repertoire in standard and multiple tunings this way and for me it seems to work quite well.
