First “Easy Touch-Style Method” Video Completed

Filed under: Easy Touch-Style Method,Eclipse,Guitar Rig,Space Station,TrueTapper,Video,YouTube — f1xSTRM at 9:24 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2007

Good News!

We’ve completed the first video of the “Easy Touch-Style Method” series. The purpose of the series is to provide a demo of how easy it can be to learn two-handed touch-style play using the streamlined method developed at Mobius Megatar.

The first video is an ‘Introduction,’ which simply explains what touch-style is, and provides a demo of how one can play by touch. It then shows why having more strings makes playing easier, and shows how clear it is when both hands can move exactly the same. Then, using four simple chords, we demonstrate –

  • How to arpeggiate chords in both hands using only nine notes
  • How to then change that to play roots and harmony notes with your two hands
  • How to use those bass roots to play left hand chords
  • How to use those harmony notes while playing walking bass inside the nine notes
  • How to play dual melody in both hands.
  • How to play chords and improvise
  • How to play chords and melody.

And so, for your elucidation and entertainment, we present –

PS: If you are wondering, the instrument used in the demo is our most basic instrument, the TrueTapper Eclipse. The audio recording was done entirely in Guitar Rig 2 with minimal effects. And, as you can see, the demo was filmed in the Mobius Space Station engine room.
