The Things You See . This album is absolutely a must for Allan’s fans. He plays mostly acoustic on this album and the musical level is second to none. Just listen to the first couple of seconds of ‘Diminished Responsibility’ and you’ll know what I mean.

      In this video I'll show you how to produce harmonics on guitar and where to find them along the fretboard. A lot of young players tend to think that harmonics are just randomly spread all over the guitar. They actually follow a very precise series on every string. Just watch the video and check out the following PDF file and you'll see what I mean.

Slide: Hints and Tips

Don’t we all love playing slide? Here some tips on phrasing and a couple of ideas on open tunings widely used to play in this style.

The tuning I use in the second part of the video is what is know as G open tuning, so from the 6th string (low E) to the 1st (top E):

I am quite into open strings voicings as I think they are one of the few things you can only play on guitar and no other instrument, and I would compare the sound to that of a piano when the sustain pedal is used: the sound is fuller, sustained, rich in harmonics. in this video I will show you how to find more interesting sounds from the most basic chords, you’ll see it is very easy. I am sure you’ll benefit from this whether you are a songwriter, a jazz guy or into speed metal. In the PDF file you’ll find some of the chords I show you in the video.
