Hi there, my name [Gb] is Gilad Hexelman and today I'm going to be talking a little bit about
guitar counterpoint _ and counterpoint in general, but also showing you some of the techniques
that I have _ been using to practice counterpoint on the guitar.
A big thing is to make everything that you work on sound like it's actually _ _ two voices,
two people _ singing or two instruments playing.
That gives it a more human quality rather than just technically playing them together
but not making them sound individual.
_ _ One other thing you can do actually is play and [F] sing one of the lines.
So play both sides.
[Db] So maybe I'll sing the top one.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _

Okay, so I did a little mistake there but actually it's a good thing that [Bb] I did that
mistake because when that happens, what I usually do when I practice this kind of stuff
is try to understand what was the mistake.
If you go backwards a little bit, you'll hear that at some point my head actually jumped
to the other line.
So instead of singing the top line, I started singing the bottom line by mistake. _ _
That's usually for me the sign that _ my concentration is not quite there.
So then I have to do it again and really concentrate on just nailing the top line and that _ usually
would resolve the problem. _
But just an example of actually the way I practice anything is when there's something
I can't do or I do a mistake in, I found that the hardest part is actually to stop right
there and say like, I'm not doing something right.
How can I fix it?
So for that, the thing that's most important is to first of all understand that something
is wrong but then _ _ understand what it is that's actually going wrong.
And from there again, the easiest part is actually to fix it because that's just technical.
That's the way I see it anyway.
So try it again. _ _ _ _ _
