I help guitarists advance through a unique and highly individualized program. However my soundslice channel is mostly a random mix of personal projects. See link and instagram posts for more: www.jakeestner.com/hybrid , www.instagram.com/JakeEstner
Got curious about Horace's "7 over 4 over 3" thing so I wanted to notate it. So the middle voice (D and G strings) has 7 equally spaced repetitions per measure, the top voice (B string) is 4, and the bottom… More…
"Bitonality" quick instagram post from harmony master Rick Beato. More…
Playing with some lines for superimposed harmony over ii V I. Started with looking for some nice (and less tired) sounds for V13b9 More…
If you try playing this, great to pay close attention to which notes ring out. More…
Well, this one's simple, it's just uh...dorian, I think... More…
Actually transcribed this in my pre-soundslice days, but just realized I had it on guitar pro and was curious to upload and try to sync it up. Really weird rhythms, might later go through and see if there… More…
Great arrangement and reharmonization from Griggly Bear here. I covered this and my video is also uploaded to the score - you can toggle back and forth under the 'recording' button. Also I put the lyrics… More…
Tried to transcribe this and figure out as many of the little nuances as I could: grace notes, slurs, vibrato, exact timing ,etc, and then also arrange it in a playable way on the guitar. On instagram… More…
Voicing/Etude Experiment form a few months ago. Caption on the original post was:… More…
Was playing around with a rhythmic idea, maybe later might flesh into more of an etude or piece: the melody is a group of five notes repeating, but it alternates every two measures between being played… More…
Transcription I did last year of the Great Griggles. Lot of whacky stuff. Maybe some day I'll get back in there and A. finish it, and B. notate which notes are hit with the pick and which with finger. More…
Actually just did a bit of this for a demo video I was making for Youtube to show the process of making a slice.… More…
A while back I transcribed this cool arrangement of “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Arianna Powell - reposting it now as it’s a little more seasonally appropriate. I thought this was a cool mix of… More…
One of the Messiaen modes essentially repeats itself every major third (like the diminished scale, which repeats itself every minor third.) You can get some pretty interesting sequences going where you… More…
- Simple straightforward chord melody for first two A sections. Great arrangement if you are new to chord melody or 'jazz' voicings. (If any of the chords are too tricky to grab, try taking out either… More…
Interesting diminished sequence with some tricky turnarounds. I believe every note is picked, no hybrid or slurs, but could be wrong! More…
Messing with a 'hybrid picking roll' concept. Tuning is down a m3 except the low E only down a whole step. Think of the chords as Am to F. More…
Low chords are in a '12123' rhythm - eighth then dotted eighth, and repeat every three groups so I'm calling it a 15/16 time signature. High voice is a quarter note. Have fun?… More…
Top voice repeats every 7 16th notes (eighth, eighth, dotted eighth, essentially) bottom voice is quarter notes. Watch out for getting the right sustain with the left hand, it's tricky!… More…
A fun idea I came across last year - F#m and E spread triads, ascending voice leading, but with a melody of the same two pitches alternating in the same register even as the voicings ascend. So what happens… More…
