Here you may play the two primary vamp arpeggios for Sections [A],[B],&[C]
attacked in either pure crosspicking or, hybrid Pick and roll style,
where:
A] K\/k are alternate flatpick strokes
B] r)a)m) refers to the 3 free right hand fingers.
See suggested PICKING PATTERNS for more elaborate detail.
The lowest fret (number) is stopped by the 1rst Left hand finger in both
cases. These are two typical rhthym chords grips, triple-stop R_7th_10th
voicings, played with the open strings E & B interspersed, giving the "altered"
sensibility in their respective modes. Open strings [0] at {nut} here.
Note position, and distinct Root, 7th, 10th,
altered 5ths and 9th (# or b)are referred to in either voicing.
Arguably, the slippery 3/8ths 'tag' on the Bass 'E' string both chords,
/G#_\A_/E(0!) /A#_\B_/E(0!)
but, the short Root_chromatic_semitone-up& open-string-descent)
may nod to the altered SUPERLOCRIAN scales for each,
~A~ & ~B~ being the respective 2nds of each scale.
One might even try adding the 'tag`s' E pitched an octave up,
on the ~A~'s Seventh fret*, as the piano seems to. |
The [A][B][C] VAMP meter is 18/8= 3 x (5/8)+ (3/8) for each chord.
Here's a chance to compare:
CROSSPICKING= K\/k Versus Hybrid PICK AND ROLL K\/__r)a)m).
Picking both styles, the downstroke upstroke pattern K\/k varies in this vamp,
with each chord calling for reverse pick direction on the second repeat of the
chord k/\K, on the 3rd upbeat, in a flowing manner,and back to the K\/k
K\/k ,
k/\k ,
K\/k ,
;--;-
and the 3/8th 'tag' shown completes the even number of 1/8ths on an upbeat
