Speaking of Harmony - Episode 34 - Groove: Rhythm vs Harmony
In this episode I talk about a particular aspect of playing guitar grooves (specially the Brazilian grooves): tight, short figured and rhythmically groovy vs harmonic lush, open string/harmony oriented. These two approaches can be mixed up in a song or applied separately according to the scenario - Solo vs ensemble, 2 harmony instruments together, etc etc. Different settings will call for a specific approach, but it often suggests a mix of both, according to the song structure and character. Enjoy!
