MMI™ · GUITAR & PLUCKED STRINGS
Turn Shapes and Patterns Into Musical Understanding.
Guitarists and plucked-string players can become more independent when fretboard or fingerboard knowledge connects to ear, harmony, rhythm, notation, form and interpretation.
Know what the pattern means.
MMI can connect chords, scales, intervals, voicings, rhythm, theory and ear training so familiar shapes become part of a larger musical language.
Reading and listening can coexist.
Notation, lead sheets, chord symbols, tablature and learning by ear each have legitimate uses. The developing musician benefits from knowing when and how to use each tool.
Style with understanding
Classical, contemporary, jazz, folk and other traditions may ask different questions of technique and interpretation; broader musicianship helps the player adapt intelligently.
