I had to spend a lot of time on this. Also the recent master class "learning to play over chord changes" really helped me out with it

I did not do well with this lesson. It took me an embarrassing number of takes to even get this. I am not good at thinking about "emphasizing thirds and sevenths" on the changes. Not at all.

I tried two of Michael's and one that I already knew.

This was fun. My fingers kept trying to go back to playing it as a (relative) minor blue scale because that's what I'm used to 😂.

Felt like I was emphasizing the b5 when I did it, but listening back I can't quite hear where the b5's are. But trust me they're there.

Here it is, pretty rough

I rolled the coursework all of section two of the blues course into this song, So there's a shuffle, a walking base, a 7th chord comp, and a ninth/sixth comp, and the progression alternates between major (I7 IV7 V7) and minor (i7 iv7 V7)... To make it a better jam track to solo over, the 6th / 9th comp track drops out for the second half and would come back in when the loop restarts.

Both rhythm and lead are each tracked in parallel on universal audio Ruby/Dream pedals (AC30 and Deluxe Reverb Sims, respectively)... For the lead tone there's a Amazon klon knock off juicing both Sims, plus the ruby internal boost is on and cranked. The Ruby/dream each have their own reverbs that are on modestly.
... The whole thing came out a little cleaner than it normally would because I happen to be using an old Harmony rocket that only has a neck pickup.

I love these progressions

I dig this

First loop is the first way and the second loop is the other way

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)
