[Monthly Recording Challenge 61 - "Precious Metals and Materials"]

This month I have been working on some sessions of the L&M Blues Guitar and Blues Licks from Justinguitar. So my entry is not really an existing song but just a blues in Gm with some improvisation. I was looking for an appropriate name, and found out that Celestine is a sky blue mineral. 

I am making my first (baby) steps in improvisation, and any comment on my trial is appreciated.

Thanks for listening,

Wim.

 

 

[The Metronome]

I learned Autumn Leaves from a series of videos from Justinguitar.

Beautiful, Ian. I enjoyed listening ?.

I am surprised with the quality of the Voice Memos recording on iPad, and will try the same for recording my acoustic guitar instead of using the build in piezo pickup.

Thanks for posting.

[Session 17 - Going Beyond the First Position]

The “Three-Notes-On-A-String” scales are navigational patterns, just like the pentatonic forms. They should be learned in terms of intervals, which are easily transposable to any key, rather than notes in those patterns. The notes of the fretboard in any given tuning don’t change, but their function may change depending on the context.

So, learning the notes of the fretboard using scale patterns will work eventually, but it may cause more confusion in the beginning and delay the progress. I suggest you pick a method that directly deals with the layout of notes on the guitar fretboard and how they relate to the musical staff.

I second @V7#5b9.

Session 17 is very useful as another approach to learn to play major scales, and the 3-notes-on-a-string exercises were part of my daily practice routine for many months.

To learn the notes on the entiteit fredboard however, I used another more direct approach explained in this video:
