Fingerstyle Guitar — Week 2 — Day 12

Day 12 — Mini-piece 2 (8 bars: C – Am – Dm – G7)

Builds on: everything — Day 8’s thumb mobility, Day 9’s new pattern, Day 11’s changes.
Good for: your first 8-bar form and first texture change inside a piece: same harmony twice, two different right-hand patterns. That’s an arranging idea, not just a drill.

The form: play the progression twice. Even though the time signature changes, keep the same note lenght (and volume) for each note.

Thumb roots: C and Am on S-5, Dm on S-4, G7 on S-6 — Day 8 pays off here.

• Warmup — 2 min (from the Day 8)
• Learn the moves (3 min): walk C – Am – Dm – G7 slowly, no rhythm — the Dm→G7 hop is new
• Pass 1 (3 min): the loop with p-i-m-a, one bar each, in time
• Pass 2 + join (3 min): the loop with p-i-m-a-m-i, then both passes back to back — the full 8 bars
• Cooldown (3 min): full piece once more, listen to the texture shift at bar 5
• Fretboard +5 min — A (day 2/3)
