A little piano trickery from piano instructor @danieltecumsehhayashi (Daniel Hayashi) 🥳🔥🎹 #pianolessons #piano #pgh #pittsburgh #sunburst #musicschool #funwithmusic #jazzchords

A spiffy little trick from guitar instructor @jonathandigiulian. Check it out… Artificial harmonics are when a guitarist creates a harmonic where it does not naturally occur on the instrument. One way to get these artificial harmonics involves using a specific right hand technique demonstrated in this video. The guitarist most commonly associated with this technique is Lenny Breau. Dig into his recordings to find tons of examples of this beautiful sounding guitar technique. #guitarlesson #spiffy #harmonics #pittsburgh #pgh #guitar
