'Structured Approach to Introducing Open Strings in Tonal Jazz Improvisation'

ABSTRACT:
I’ve become interested in creative application of open strings quite early in my guitar practice and tried to apply them whenever I had opportunity to. However, I always felt that I’m lacking a certain overview of the options I have and whenever I tried to integrate them in my playing on a deeper level I lacked understanding what I’m doing. This research is an attempt to give somewhat of a structured view to the applications of open strings.

Through coming up with different strict rulesets concepts and exercises I’m trying to create a logical progression in which I would approach open strings and integrate them into my musical vocabulary.

After 2 extensive cycles with different approaches, I’ve made some conclusions and found certain things that work well. Further research is needed to fully confirm those, but the process has already been very helpful for my own development.

As part of the research I have created many examples (exercises) of different unique voicings as well as 2 jazz standard arrangements, 1 film score arrangement and an original tune inspired by these concepts.
