"Study in Standard E"
by Mickey Cochran

This is an original improvisational chordal study. Utilizing the bass E as a drone string while harmonizing chords in the key of E. A great example of pianistic fingerpicking with a New Age feel. This is completely exploratory and even with the few open chords utilized, the possibilities are ever expandable.



Try experimenting with this technique to see if you discover any of your own pathways. The more you explore the more likely you will find yourself coming up with your own original melodies. This improvisational study falls back on my many years of ragtime guitar study. In essence, approaching the guitar more like a piano, yet still staying within the range and character of the Acoustic Steel String. This improvisation has ended up as a full blown finalized Guitar piece on the upcoming CD: "6 & 12-String Drawings from the Acoustic Forest". To hear an example of this piece fully rendered, check out "Acoustician".
