Score Details

Study in G Lydian
(Right Hand Study no. 251)

for Intermediate to Advanced Guitarists

This study is an intense right-hand workout in both speed and dexterity. Using the colourful lydian sound in a minimalist canvas, the melody is often played linearly, traversing a string in both directions.

The use of “pima” arpeggios reigns with “p” and “I” often used on the same string for melodic purposes.
