  1. I personally think this session should be titled “Beginning the Blues” . In this session the Ditto Looper, Memory Man, Blues driver and Carbon Copy pedals come out.

  2. I know exactly where you are. Any day now you will insert session 4 and you’ll wonder what has changed.Once you have that “spotlight moment “ the course will be hard to put down.
  3. When you get to session 5 you might want to look at “75 Blues Turnarounds “ by Michael DoCampo.It has turnarounds emulating numerous players like BB, Page and SRV. My hat goes off to those that can play them all. When the author says “difficult” I just take out my that black magic marker.😎 100 blues lessons also contains a lot of information on the subject. https://www.guitargathering.com/community/index.php?/files/file/42-20-turnarounds-for-jazz-guitar/&do=download
  4. Thanks, I guess we will never know what happened unless Dion changes his story. I was mistaken Dion did say he flipped a coin with Valens only that he won, then gave his seat to Valens because of the cost.

  7. I was listening to Cat Stevens play “Father and Son” and I wasn’t sure what he was doing until I pulled up the sheet music, C/G https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0107640
  8. This post is aimed at the beginner who stumbles on this “intermediate” guitar course. Scale length is something that might play a role in your ability to play spread rhythms.I think that Steve stays with the “cut” boogie patterns, but when you add the flat 7th it’s unplayable for my hands with a 25.5 scale. https://blog.andertons.co.uk/learn/understanding-guitar-scale-length
  9. The Beatles song Penny Lane has a borrowed chord.What is that chord? Where is is borrowed from? https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0129460

  13. I was watching the movie la Bamba and towards the end they had the famous coin flip.I wondered if that was true.It sounds like it wasn’t, at least in the case of Valens and Dion DiMucci, Dion says that when he heard the plane ticket was $36 dollars which happened to be the same amount that his folks paid in rent, he couldn’t bring himself to spend the same amount for a short plane ride. So, he gave his seat to Valens. No coin flip.
  14. Here are eight of the most commonly used scales in Blues and Rock.Bluegrass and country will mostly use Major scales, but they also use the pentatonic, blues and minor scales. 1. Major scales 2. Pentatonic scales major and minor 3. The blues scale 4.Dorian mode 5.Mixolydian mode 6.Natural minor 7. Harmonic minor https://gosk.com/scales/
  15. I just changed strings and I left them a little long in case I want to boil them later to see what happens. The truth is I like the sound of old dirty strings better than that. Of new ones.
  16. I read that guitar strings don’t wear out they just get dirty. So, take them off and place the in boiling water for an hour then dry and reinstall. Anyone use this method?
  17. I see where a guitar teacher, Nick Tolman is using the Mel Bay Method Books to give Youtube lessons. So, if your Mel Bay methods books are gathering dust, because they are the most difficult beginner guitar books out there, now might be a good time to dust them off. He using the basic books but the material is also in the expanded editions.He said he would also be using the expanded books in the future,
  18. A lot going on in this lesson. Compound time signatures, use of the capo and rolling 8ths.Seems like a good time to print out a capo chart.Can’t say I’ ve ever seem Italicized chords before. Usually the chord and in parentheses the chord respective to the capoed chord sounding. One could spend many hours reading about this song. I read where Cohen wrote 80 Verses.Then there is that secret chord. Surely that would have been an advanced chord. Not to many songs teach diatonic chords, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lifts. The minor fall, the flatted third. The major lifts, changing from a minor to a major, I assume. https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0234223
  19. I’ve looked at some other instructors teaching 10ths and one mentioned using whatever fingers you wanted. He personally used the same fingering as Steve for his lesson as did the others I viewed. I find your method uncomfortable and difficult, but then I’ am using some pretty old hands. Also, I found that learning the intro for the song “El Paso” by Marty Robbins was a fun way of practicing 3rds. Plus, the song uses a minor third tremolo. Goggle “Musicnotes and El Paso”.
  20. Dolly Parton statue sounds like a no -brainer for Nashville.
  21. I guess we really do live in a "multiverse" bubbles for rich, bubbles for the poor. Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles. Country Music, all it takes is "Three Chords and the Truth"
  22. Lizard People By Fleetwood Mac Based on a survey a few years ago by The Public Polling Policy revealed that there were 12 million Americans (probably more) that really believe these Lizard people conspiracy theories. I was sadden to read about the Nashville bombing. I am sure Fleetwood Mac had a good laugh about the song.The shape shifting "slithering masses" probably twisted or oscillated with delight and couldn't wait to "Phone Home”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlAQ36PB-2E

  24. What "Bee Gees" song is often used to teach CPR? The song name kinda gives it away/
  25. I can see how this technique can be confusing. It appears to me a Tremolo be a simple slide up and back down? How about a simple Trill? Looking at the Blues standard "All Blues" has me wondering, the tab seems to indicate the tremolo indicated here is a slide. A tremolo seems to have more to do with volume changes, a change in amplitude. https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0056603 https://easymusictheory.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/what-do-slashes-on-a-notes-stem-mean/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols https://www.gearank.com/articles/tremolo-vs-vibrato Also the tremolo bar on electric guitars is a common, but incorrectly named. Using the bar just produces a pitch bend not a tremolo. I looked up “All Blues” because a lot of Jazz sites suggested it as the place to start when learning Jazz.
