gratz, but seriously, how could you lazy out with such a big opportunity and not exericse?

My first thought when I read this was that I was hoping it was because you had gotten that gig! And I see your post in the other thread! I'm very happy for you. I have been working on this assignment and will get something up for you in the next day or so.

Hi Alex hope you had a nice christmas
Well lets go back to some fusion training again.

Well I listen to a lot of music and try to pick up things from there and come up with my own, but I need to learn more licks down the fretboard too, so I was thinking of learning greg howes improvistation of sunny, where can I learn some more cool licks?

Also can we pratice playing in changes? We can start from the beginning if you would like
We have done some pratice over this but we can go back and start from there

You did a Great Job, Keep Playing and Keep Posting

Hey man , I heard that you are going to leave well it has been a pleasure learning from your video's and learning some of the licks. I hoping to hear from you in the future !

Oh and since you are the one that thought me to remember the fretboard, check this out, its our bandpage and there is a demo of our band on there.

Many thanks Alex for the good words of encouragement.

I feel privileged to have learned from a true Master.
You made a real difference not only in my playing but in my understanding of music.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your wife a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Sincere thank you,

JPB

Hello Alex! With the winter holidays I've got a month of absolutely free time and I was thinking about renewing our mentoring programm. What do you think?

what happens to all this stuff we wrote? maybe you can give me a bunch of lessons to learn?

Thank you Alex for this Collab it was fun and a real interesting Thing to do !

Do you know a good proggression suitable for lydian mode alex?

I started mapping out the triad's as pairs and naming them but got stuck after the basic ones were done, so I found this

Can you check it's correct

For the Key of C

I
C E G + D F A = D F A C E G = ii-m11 = Dm11

Basic Outline

Show the 7 triads in note name

Show the 3 shapes for the major triad, the minor triad and Dim triad for string set 654

Use G major key (it's got nice locations on the fretboard)

Show triads on fretboard for each inversion

Give exercise for G major inversions with metronome
Give exercise for D minor inversions with metronome
Give exercise for F#dim inversions with metronome

Give triad exercises up and down diatonic scale.

Do the same for 543, 432, 321 string sets

Give chord progression exercises to practice linking inversions across string sets and to make something musical

Superimposing Triads

Explanation and showing the examples

Show examples on fretboard of triads linked together on same string set
Show examples on fretboard of triads linked together on adjacent string sets

Exercises for using these over chord progressions



If you can give any help with effective exercises to drill and for good progressions to practice the triads and arpeggios over, I'd appreciate it.

If you think I've missed anything, or the order I've put things in isn't the most logical for learning also let me know, I'd appreciate the feedback


This might take me a while, especially as I'll be using it as a learning tool and practice agenda whilst compiling it!

the question is about the left hand and the right hand, playing on a piano
[attachment=29887:post_143...44530863.png]

Every thing I want to learn, how chords are made, I know the major and minor chords, scales/Modes, melodies, Rhythm Guitar,Licks, song building, Music styles, What ever you can teach me

Thanks!!!!!!!This was really challenging and gave me a completely new way to look at things. I really like moving scales for each chord and how it sounded. I'm looking forward to your next assignment.

Alex

One of your video chats on Joe Pass arpeggios and also this mentoring thread, put an idea in my mind for a theory based project.

Seeing as I have Neck Diagrams, I thought I'd put it into good use and create a Triads document.

I think I need your input as I want it too be a useful tool for me and everyone here at GMC

I'm going to choose a key (probably C major)

Show the triads (and inversions) on string sets 123, 234, 345, 456

Then add superimposed triads to them to make extended chords

I guess the next step would adding non diatonic triads to get other extended chords b5 etc

To make it more useful, rather than just a reference document to included useful exercises to help, get it under the fingers, on the fretboard and from the mind to the ear.

Would you be interested in helping me with this, we could use it as the basis of my mentoring, I'm guessing I'll learn a lot compiling it.

Jazz part updated, and I have a new idea for the song, a piano lydian part in the middle, and ending it all with some jazz again
Cant come up with a good progression.

The song is in G. It contains the C lydian mode.. so the question is go for G lydian or C lydian to get the same key?

How to present it ? _ I don't know quite frankly!
Here is my track after this morning's lesson.
Based on E min of course (definitely a minor!)
I tried to include the principles of harmonization.
I tried to combine scales the best I could while staying creative on the melody!
U be the judge once again!
I worked hard to get one that would loop perfectly.
Kept the lead up front as much as possible.
Gave it some time for the progression to be - allowing a silent here and there.
Balancing the rhythm and lead guitar to give it the right dimension. Worked a bit on panning.
I am sorry, did not include an arpeggio - but working on it.

This is a Salute to a true Guitar Master
Many thanks - sincerely,..

I was gunna ask a question about this and went to quote it and notice there was suppose to be a youtube link, hope this works

[attachment=28485:3.png]

if it worked there should be a youtube video here



the attachments are the music theory notes that you gave me, looks like something I would have to play on a piano

Yes you are definitively right! (as usual!)
With some tweaking on the mix down and a better balance between rhythm and lead guitars.
Here's a new take. (Same cut)
Makes sense. Thanks

Here is another take. A little smoother than the one above, I think. And I added some eq and double tracked it just for fun.

Will do Alex - Cheers mate!
