Here’s an original tune called “Shelter Island”. I recorded this one on my “Chameleon” CD. Shelter Island, close to Long Island, NY is where I had my first clear visions of wanting to play solo acoustic guitar. It was a delicious time, brimming with possibilities that had not yet been tapped, musically. I had an electric with me on that trip, and a dream. I had not even uploaded the first youtube vid!!! A folky little melody came to me at a later time, but I named the song after Shelter Island. It almost became a ballad but after hearing Tommy Emmanuel’s “Dixie MCguire” I wanted to put a thumbpick groove to it. This song will hopefully appear in Issue #71 of Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine, so if you want tabs you’ll have to hold out until that issue prints!!!!

www.creativeguitarstudio.com Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question: My question has to do with a concept I have recently come across called Modal Interchange. I think it has to do with a major scale and a minor scales notes or they’re chords. I just have not been able to find anything online explaining this in a way that I can clearly understand. There is some part of this principle that has to do with borrowing chord tones from modes, but I just don’t get this. Can you please help! – Donnie, Milwaukee, WI. Modal interchange has to do with keys running off of parallel roots. So, for example; Lets say we were in the key of G Major. And, after playing the root chord of G ma7, I borrowed a chord out of G Minor and played that borrowed chord next. For our discussion lets use G Minors 6th step chord of ebma7. This process is the idea of modal Interchange. You can do this as I just did, going major key borrowing from Minor, or vice versa.
