The Doors - "Break On Through" | Teleport Lesson

This one was so much fun for me. I don't think quickly yet, so this gave me enough time to just express what I was feeling as each chord came by.

Here is my take on this week's assignment. So much fun.

Here is my take on today's lesson.

Here is my take on this week's lesson. This was my favorite so far.

Here is my take on today's lesson. The resolving note of my melody cut out because it would fall into the next loop, so I appended it to the beginning.😁

Here is my take on today's assignment

Here is my second attempt. Still struggling with rhythm and tone. As a test, I tried plugging the guitar directly into the Teleport without my Headrush Flex Prime in between. Let me know what you think regarding tone between this post and the one before. Please comment if you have any tips on tone.

This one was really hard for me. I just couldn't get the rhythm. Posting the assignment, but I will probably come back to it as I grow musically.

Here is the song with melody, rhythm, and lead added

Please Come Home for Christmas - with triad strikes

I have started us off with the Eagles version of Please Come Home for Christmas. This first upload just has a drum, bass, and keyboard, all on the 4th track. It needs: Rhythm Guitar, Melody, and Lead Guitar.
Download it, fill in whatever blanks you like, and send it back up to the group.

Each shape of the dominant 7th for the 5-chord up the neck to build tension before resolving to the 1 chord - F

I am still slow and a little tentative, but I am able to get the melody in my head out through my fingers now, which is an amazing feeling.

Practice G Major 1, 5, 6, 4 using hybrid chord grabs

Okay, don't laugh, but I just made a discovery that many other students probably already knew or figured out. Through this exercise, I discovered not only do the root and the six-chord have the same pentatonic scale shape as each other (relative major minor pair), the scale shape for 2 and the 4 are the same, and the 3 and the 5 are the same (yes?)

I am slow to see the shapes because they are still new to me, so my approach is a bit timid. I am excited to get these internalized, so my flow is faster.

Slow and steady. I am new to improvising, so this is built out of the arpeggios and the scales we have learned so far. When I watch good guitarists, they know where they want to go much more quickly than I do. I am going to be one of those guys someday.

This course is wonderful, I am learning so much. Thank you!

5 Major scale shapes in D and G. This, like all the lessons, was a challenge. It isn't perfect even after multiple attempts, but I am only going to get better.

I am new to improvising. I tried to focus on the chords in the backing track and play mainly from the arpeggios. I am looking forward to improving.
