Guitar Techniques

SECTION1 Kora textures

-

One particular­ly idiomatic feature of the Kora is its quick bursts of ornamental embellishm­ent, and these have been used by Antonio as inspiratio­n for this example. On the Kora they are all played on individual strings, but to recreate a similar effect on the guitar Antonio has used slurs. Aim to make these as smooth as possible while maintainin­g the 6/8 rhythm, which gives this example a really satisfying groove.
