    Session 3 - Notes on the 3rd & 4th Strings

    in Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar

    Posted

    Session 3 - Up and Down strokes for Eighth Notes:

    I'm confusing myself. In Session 3, Eighth Note Exercises, the book says "when you have several eighth notes of the same pitch in a row, then alternate your picking (Down - Up - Down - Up)".

    Does this mean eighth notes on the same string that are "barred together" such as B C D on the second string are played Down - Up - Down? This makes sense to do I think.

    This is where I'm getting confused - What about Exercise 5 on page 17 of the Lesson Book where you have the eighth notes C and E barred together or the next notes D and F? These are on different strings and it seems a bit awkward to use the Up - Down - Up - Down pattern.

    Thank all of you for your generosity. I'm sure it's a big time commitment but you guys do an amazing job. This site runs pretty much flawlessly! Diane will be a great addition to the team! Again, thank you for all that you do, the GG family truly appreciates it.

    Who Out There Is Studying the Learn and Master Guitar Program?

    Posted

    I'm a Steve guy. I have pretty much all of the courses he has done. I've purchased many of the "monthly specials" that he's recommended as well from pedals and cables to song books and tools. I'm really trying to stay focused in one direction - "too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup". Whenever I've surfed the web and been tempted by other "learn this song" videos, I think to myself, if I just practiced a little more with LMG I could play this by myself without this video. It also feels a little bit like I'm cheating on Steve!

    Steve has given so much to thiis community that I want to support him any way that I can. It's a small investment considering what I've gotten back from him and all of this that he gave life to. I want to see it continue and grow.

    I'm on Session 4 - I've been here quite awhile but that's another story for another time. The point I want to make is that with all of the resources I've acquired from Steve, I have everything and I mean everything I need to become a real guitar player. Well, at least until he releases his next course......

    Steve on the Jumbotron!

    Sometimes, I play the DVD's on my mac and then use Airplay to my AppleTV on the big screen in my family room. This way I can better see Steve's fingering and which strings or notes he's playing. I also stand in front of the tv with the music stand raised up and the practice book next to me. I usually do this when no one else is home because I think I look like a bit of a dork! lol
