• Tuning

The PATTERNS guitar method offers a coherent approach to learning to play the guitar with excellence. It enables players to express themselves directly through the instrument, as if speaking or singing, by connecting the fingers of both hands with a musical sense through listening. It employs the guitar's visual patterns, enhancing learning through a systematic and comprehensive study program.
This condition is achieved by practicing daily scale exercises for at least forty minutes, focusing on simple patterns along a rail succession and visualizing finger placement on the strings. The exercises are always performed with a metronome for time reference and with prior listening to the chords for their harmonic context. With consistent practice of these scales, a solid instrumental and musical technique will develop over time, serving as a foundation for any Western musical style or culture that the guitarists may choose to pursue, while also providing a method for future teaching.

Contents Vol. 1
This volume of the PATTERNS method offers a variety of skills designed to nurture guitarists while introducing them to the symbols of guitar notation. It encompasses the primary techniques of right-hand performance and closely links them with the fingering of left-hand scales, emphasizing arpeggios, overtone techniques, and tremolo and murmur methods. It includes procedures for changing strings and tuning the guitar, highlighting the innovative approach of muting during tuning and the technique of "poly-unisons." In the Accessories section, guitarists will find detailed information about the essential tools for their new journey as guitar players, organized in prioritized order. A collection of valuable tips covers everything from nail and hand care to maintaining daily practice, overcoming stage fright, using a metronome, and nurturing creativity.
Each exercise is illustrated with a diagram, musical score, and tablature. For online practice, videos on the YouTube channel @PatronesGuitarraEmilio reinforce it, which include the metronome, as an alternative to reading sheet music. The exercises are studied as a set of "Goals" that the students must achieve little by little in their own time.
The PATTERNS method significantly accelerates the development of fundamental guitar playing techniques, enabling players to become active creators, true to their emotions and musical imagination.
