Cluster Voicings for ADVANCED Guitar

Master the sound of Clusters for both single note lines & chord voicings with this discovery process!

Using Clusters on the #guitar provides a very beautiful and rich sound. It's a pianistic approach which shows a high level of sophistication when done on the guitar.

A #cluster can be used to level up your chords but also using them within your single note lines and scales will give a very modern approach to your improvisation. Clusters are also a great way to decorate a melody!

In this video I discuss certain methods to discover what harmony a semitone and tone cluster can imply. I also share a simple process for discovering the cluster options for whatever scale, mode, chord, or harmony we are confronted with.

This video should hopefully provide you with a bunch of new #chord shapes to use within your compositions & improvisation and allow you to generate Clusters on command for various harmonic situations. This should leave you with a solid process to then explore and discover further so that you can creatively do as you please with this concept and master the sound of Clusters for your guitar playing.
