Well, that was awkward

Somehow this is my most comfortable mode. Go figure.

I really like working in the sevenths sometimes and then not working them in other times. Makes it easier to try to tell a story with the notes.

I'm so glad I did this exercise. Probably the first time I played in Dorian and I was thinking in Dorian instead of just thinking in the relative Ionian.

Noooooooooo!!!!!! (Collapses on the ground and starts Hammer fisting the floor)

... I spent like a solid week with shedding all those triads and exercises and one five four progressions for level four...
... I was finally free, It's finally time to move on and live my life...
... And here we are for more triads! 😩

This level five course was a big step forward for me on guitar. I've been woodshedding these closest moves and up-down neck exercises in every key for the past week. Not going to lie, I'm glad it's over. That's a lot of wood shedding.

I just did a hybrid exercise mashing together closest moves with moving up and down The neck in a I IV V progression. I basically have spent the entire last week nailing this down in every single key and every string combination (321, 432, 543, 654). I think after this I'm never going to not know what note I'm playing on a guitar again. #eatyourvegetables

It gets a little sloppy in the middle, but I thought I'd I do another take it wouldn't be improv (this was the 2nd or 3rd)

I didn't go too crazy with this because I see there's a whole other course just for hybrid picking (looking forward to it)

This is fun. Difficult for me at first to make it sound major, I'm used to doing minor blue scales but I got there I think.

Here's your blues, boss

Anyone got the chops to sing NSYNC? This is waiting for Melody

This needs melody or some drum work

This is my back bedroom desk (every room in my house doubles as an office). I wasn't set up to do music here but I realized I needed to because my main lair in the garage is cold and it keeps me from practicing in the winter.

Do people recognize this one?

This isn't new, but I'd love your thoughts on what she does different harmonically from Elton John's original.
... My favorite thing is that she's off pitch going into the first pre chorus, proving she's not using Auto-Tune.

My most special guitar is my 'Marlboro Martin'. Had it 22+ years.
