This allows the student to begin to become aware of WHAT they are doing as much as how to do it. With intermediate guitar lessons in Raleigh, scales become groups of notes with more specific intention rather than spaces on the fretboard. Tablature with more advanced notation is explained to accommodate more complex techniques. Sliding notes, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and bending notes start to become familiar.

Strumming patterns with more complex sequences of “up-strums” as well as “down-strums” and their tablature notation are explained and practiced.
