The Guitar Tarot is a set of exercises designed to immediately get you out of your comfort zone. By shuffling note cards, interval cards, triad cards, and seventh-chord cards, you are guaranteed to run into sound combinations outside of your muscle memory, outside of the chord and scale patterns you are used to. This stimulates your ear and your imagination to explore other sonic possibilities all the while expanding your knowledge of the guitar fretboard.
Beyond a basic understanding of the guitar, exercises in the Guitar Tarot are designed to challenge players at any level. You will be surprised how quickly it reveals gaps in your knowledge of the fretboard.
The Guitar Tarot is not geared towards any specific style of music, but rather challenges your muscle memory, your ear, and your imagination, enhancing whatever style of music you play.
“When Mateo first showed me his card system I knew I could find a really interesting use case, and ended up creating a tone-row that I used in various ways while scoring the game Hyper Light Drifter. Since then it has had a big influence on my thinking around using chance in order to step outside my normal operating mode.”
