Guitar 4 - Samba

Hello guitar 4. While playing samba im sure all of you would silently grumble and curse and swear for the misfortune of getting such an easy part. Fear not, out of consideration of your feelings, there are some new requirements added to guitar 4 to make it. more challenging :D


Disclaimer: This shd alr be done automatically, not only by guitar 4s but by all guitar parts. its just that we dun use to enforce it but will slowly pay more emphasis to it in the future. But for now, guitar 4s jiayou.

Added requirements for guitar 4:
1) Nothing has change, your notes will still be the same. However, please make sure that you rest the notes you are suppose to and those notes don't ring to the next bar (if the chord has changed)

e.g. pg1. bar 1.
Chord: Am, Notes: A C E
note you're playing: E (diatonic)

pg1 bar 2
Chord: Dm, Notes: D F A
Note you'r playing: F (Diatonic) [i.e. E (from the previous bar) would be chromatic now and doesnt belong to this chord. so you have to stop the E before playing the F to make sure it doesnt ring in this chord]

however, in this case when u play F, E would already be stop cos they are on the same string, but there are cases in the piece where u have to stop (e.g. pg2 last line first bar the ringing open A) so analyse the piece yourself. I'm sure your MI will go through with you all wht to do.


yupp thats all. don't worry it isnt as scary as it sound. Eileen will go through with you all tml.


and for the other guitars: Try to do it if possible too. but it will be harder for you all. and most of the time there wont be open ringing strings so. i dno. discuss w ur mi whether u wan to do it anot.

its smthing that most guitar players will i dno. choose to ignore. but it IS impt. its as good as changing pedal on the piano. imagine holding the damper pedal for the whole piece -.- not really much of a prob for other instruments cos they don't face the prob of ringing notes. (talking abt mainstream instruments here. of cos there are exceptions like uh. the zither, but ah wells)
