Phrasing
Articulation & Expression — The Player's Tone Vocabulary
Articulation as tone: staccato to tapping, sortable by hand and modulation — plus the real vibrato-vs-tremolo distinction, verified against Fender's manuals.
PhrasingRiff Development — Turn One Idea Into a Song
Turn one riff into a song: sequence, inversion, retrograde and seven more moves, sortable — then transform your riff and watch the pitch contour change live.
PhrasingMelody, Speech & Beat
Satriani writes melodies, Vai writes speech, Polyphia writes to the beat. Three crossings between instrumental guitar approaches, written as playable recipes.
