Upper Mordent
An upper mordent is a melodic ornament in the form of a fast beat between the
main (written) note and the higher note (relative to the key signature).
Lower Mordent
A lower mordent is a melodic ornament in the form of a fast beat between the
main (written) note and the lower note (relative to the key signature).
Turn
The turn (in Italian “gruppetto,” “little group”) is a melodic ornament in the form
of a melodic line of four notes turning around the main note and revealing the
two notes next to it higher and lower. The turn starts with note that is
immediately lower, then the main note, the higher note, and ends on the main
note. Just as the mordent, the turn is relative to the tune’s general harmony, as
set by the key signature.
Inverted turn
The inverted turn starts with note that is immediately lower, then the main note,
the higher note, and ends on the main note. Just as the mordent, the turn is
relative to the tune’s general harmony, as set by the key signature.
Left-Hand Tapping
This consists in hitting a fret with your left-hand finger with no previous attack
on the note.
