Advanced Expression Techniques on Guitar

Advanced expression techniques on guitar are the fastest way to deepen your musical expression and unlock the emotional range in every note you play. In this course, you will refine touch, timing, and tone so your phrases sing, groove, and breathe with intention.

Led by seasoned guitarist Costas Baltazanis, the curriculum focuses on the techniques that most directly impact feel. You will explore how nuanced left hand control, dynamic right hand articulation, and rhythm design work together to create compelling performances that connect with listeners.

What You’ll Learn

• Left Hand Techniques: sliding, hammer-ons, pull-offs, vibrato, and bending for expressive phrasing and accurate intonation.
• Dynamics: ghost notes, muting approaches, string mute scratches, and tasteful tremolo bar use to create contrast and color.
• Rhythm: choosing pick or fingers, building motifs, crafting volume swells, shaping micropulses, and using space to let lines breathe.
• How to combine these elements into musical ideas you can apply across genres.
