Hey, looking forward to it. My goals are to learn to compose and record and really just want to get better at everything. I think my weaknesses are my timing and technique as well as being able to play what I hear. For strengths I think I have good finger speed a good base in theory (self taught so I could be wrong ) and I'm persistant I'll keep at it till I get it right. I don't know if I really have any favorite guitar players I get inspired by so many different people and bands. Dimebag Darrell was a big influence but I like so many different kinds of music that its hard to pinpoint anybody specific other than anybody who can play a good groove, or something technical. Thanks Awesome! So here is how we will be doing it We will be combining transcribing and playing on the go plus will add some improvisation and composition into the practice routine! To start I would like you to transcribe this chord progression! Write out the chords and the key! This simple assignment will give me a better idea for your future challenges! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/transcribe-7 Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |

That sounds great!!!!!!!! Ok so I think I got it. A, E, Bm, E, A ,E ,Bm, E, A, E, A, Dm, A, E, A, Dm, A. Key: A major I chose A major because it began on A and ended on A and because of the F#, G#, and C#, but I'm not sure how the Dm fits in but A major seemed the most fitting to me????? Thanks, Chris -------------------- |

Ok, so the Dm was just "borrowed" and has no effect on the overall key? But is still related through the A7 in D harmonic minor. How do you know when a chord is just borrowed from another scale or key, instead of causing it to modulate, or have a more direct effect on what key the piece is in? And since I bombed on this test, what's next. I look forward to the next challenge! Hey, I was also working on your "In the style of Keith Richards" collab and came up with this. Is this ok? I have a few more days to work on something else. I wanted to get your opinion before I put it in the collab thread. I love playing bluesy stuff and I just finished my first collab with Gabe and now I'm hooked and I didn't want miss this one.
