Modern Band Lesson 14

Introduction to Guitar, Bass, and Piano

GUITAR

In this lesson, students are walked through each notation line of “Believer,” by Imagine Dragons which primarily relies on melody reading, reinforcing notes in treble clef notation, and reviewing rhythmic notation of eighth notes and quarter rests, as well as reviewing concepts of repeat signs and 1st and 2nd endings. Students will reinforce picking technique through execution of eighth note lines that require skipping a string, as well as executing eighth note lines of strings that are adjacent to each other.
