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”.

What "Bee Gees" song is often used to teach CPR? The song name kinda gives it away/

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.

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.

Thanks for posting. Larrivee, there’s a guitar name I hadn’t heard of before.

Correct. Its an interesting " Key" better know has the mixolydian mode. Its a good option when playing the blues.

You know the major keys C,D,G, etc. What is the Dominant Key?
“Music that modulates often goes to this key”.

Some consider it a cheap trick because it can be used to repeat the last chorus without writing anything new.

Paul Davids talks about them. I came across them in a free Artist Works jazz lesson on minor 9 arpeggios. Needless to say I was in a "brain fog" for few minutes.

She had many fans and probably was the favorite castaway.
The theme song chord changes look like they can be a challenge.

“A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges”. Session 18
I recently started to spend more time trying to understand just some simple jazz. Now that quote makes a lot more sense. Before I let chords like F13 ,Bbmaj13, Fm7 (jazz version) and A9 scare me away.Now I realize how much jazz as to offer and how it can help one utilize the fret board by juggling scales, arpeggios and chord shapes using simple jazz Standards.

A while back I was watching a movie and they mentioned quavers and I hadn't a clue what they were talking about.

I looked at the tempo for this song and assumed it was a really slow song. Then I noticed the 6/8 time signature.

Guitar legend Tony Rice dies on Christmas Day. Progressive Bluegrass (newgrass). One of his songs was “Gasology” I wonder if that was his answer to “Classical Gas”?

Well, TRIVIA is perhaps not the correct word. What famous guitar player has a Ph.D in astrophysics?

I came across this "short cut" while viewing the sound track music for La Bamba. They look a lot like tremolo marks.

I know that Steve has this song in his course in the key of A. Here's a version in C that might be of interest to beginners.

I guess I never really understood the impact the Beatles had in South America.

Thanks for posting, very informative.
The major scales, like C for example has three major pentatonic beginnings C F and G and three minor pentatonic beginnings A D and E. ( l lV V )
When someone is playing a 12 bar blues over a l lV V chord progression using the relative minor scale in the key of C and using the 5 pentatonic patterns, they would use this knowledge quite a bit.When playing the Am pentatonic and using the subdominat F (lV) it really doesn’t need to be resolved. It would also make a good passing tone. It could also be a leading tone going from Am to Dm e F g.....D
Something along the same line, when you are playing a minor pentatonic and you go down 3 frets you are in the 5th position of the parallel major pentatonic scale. Which also can be used to change things up while playing the minor pentatonic scale.
Reminds me of the saying “there are no wrong notes just wrong choices.https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0112209

Mohammed, Diane has given you a lot of good information.
I thought I would share with you my current practice lesson
1. Hand stretching exercise. (I do this while preparing my morning coffee and usually under warm/hot water.)
2. 15 minutes work on scales,modes and arpeggios, those needed for my core material.I use a timer. for all my practice, if I take a break I stop the timer. Once I learn the material I will use a metronome to improve, it’s not my favorite tool and if I don’t have a fairly good “handle” on what I am playing the metronome doesn’t help.
3. 15 to 30 minutes on my “Core Material”. This practice period my core Material is Autumn leaves melody 5 th position, (jazz standards) Sundance, 5th position. (Mel bay) 12 bar blues solo 5th position, (activemelody on-line) This particular practice routine can last months.(I usually work on more than one thing to keep my sessions interesting and to avoid fretting hand fatigue.
4. 15 minutes chord melody chords for Autumn Leaves, barre chords and other chords used in the 12 bar blues solo sheet music.
5, 15 minutes working on a solo for Autumn Leaves. I am using scales and arpeggios I worked on in the first fifteen minutes of practice.plus, I also searched the internet for material for Autumn leaves done by better players and found two etudes and one solo to help me create my own solo.
6. Have a lesson plan with all the material organized. so you aren’t wasting time looking for chords or patterns. Have a major scale worksheet and a fretboard worksheet. I keep all the material in a folder.
7. in the evening I usually spend a little time reading music theory pertaining to my lesson and listening to the song I am trying to learn.
Beginners have it easy. The material is already prepared in their guitar course. A private teacher will also have lesson plans ready to go.
My “Guitar Goal” is learning to play the blues,
“ if you sound good, you're probably not practicing.” unknown

Corvid 19 claims another life. Charl was his given name, but due to a clerical error Charley became his legal name. It must have been a real shocker for 10,000 folks in 1966 when he walked out on stage. They had no idea what he looked like. I think you probably could have heard a "pin drop" at the "Old Red Barn Stadium". Guitarist and professional baseball player, he will be missed.

Mandy, I am saddened to hear of your loss.
