Shaun Baxter: A Pinch or Two + Sliding By + Cluster Bomb

This technical study (here played at a moderate speed) is a typical example of the ones featured on the AMBA online Foundation Degree for Guitar. This particular one is devoted to applying pinched harmonics.
On the course, written entirely by me, you will get detailed bar-by-bar instructions of how to execute each study in the most effective way, and will then be expected to apply the techniques that you have learned within your own composition(s).
