Hi Alex!
I've just made a take. Here is it - http://soundcloud.com/artem-6/alex_task_1 Still don't feel confortable at 80, therefore I think I should keep on practicing with it. Cheers, Artyom. |

You did very very good! Sometimes you are rushing a little bit! I can suggest to add this exercise into your warm up routine and continue practicing it! I will post a new assignment for you in a few hours! We will start getting into melodic exercises a little bit more! -------------------- |

Hi Alex! I've just made a take. Here is it - http://soundcloud.com/artem-6/alex_task_1 Still don't feel confortable at 80, therefore I think I should keep on practicing with it. Cheers, Artyom. So I have a new assignment for you! Here is the backing track that you can use to practice your assignments! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/blues-mentoring It's a standard I - IV - V blues progression in E So the chords are: E7 - A7 - B7 I would like you to jam over it and get use to the feel and the groove! For now I would like you to use E minor pentatonic in this position: Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |

Hello! So I did my take!
Here it is! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/smolentsev I used the same pentatonic shapes that I gave you! So now I would like you to continue and record your 8 bars! Try to keep it less busy and be as melodic as possible! Please record your take after mine and leave the rest of the backing track so I can do the next part! Let me know if you have any questions! -------------------- |

Hi Alex! Here is my take. I add my 8 bars as you asked. http://soundcloud.com/artem-6/task2_smolentsev_take Very nice take! Melodic and very relaxed! I like it! So since the chord progression is Emi7 - A7 - Dmaj7 I would like you to use those scales over them: Over Emi7 E dorian Over A7 A minor blues pentatonic Over D maj7 Try to combine them together that's what I did What I am looking for is to really hear the A minor pentatonic over A7 chord! This exercise will help you to learn how to play over changes! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |

Hello!
I recorded another 8 bars (from 43sec). http://soundcloud.com/artem-6/task2_smolentsev_take2 I used only E dorian and D ionian. You asked me to use A minor pentatonic, but it sounds a little bit weird here, especially note C. Is it correct to use Aminor over this track (as I understand the key of the track is E dorian)? |

You did a good job! I like your sound and ideas are great! Your guitar is a little out of tune! I would like you to play A minor pentatonic over A7 chord the whole point of this exercise is to hit those changes and playing A minor pentatonic over A 7 chord is totally fine, same thing when you are playing E minor pentatonic over E7 blues! Try it out! Just jam a little and let me know how it goes! -------------------- |

Hi, Alex!
Sorry for delay, I was limited in time a little. More 8 bars recorded (from 0:59). http://soundcloud.com/artem-6/task2_smolentsev_take3 I used A minor pentatonic with blue note as you recommend. I like the result. It's very interesting and useful exercise for me, because I don't deal much with improvisation and phrasing. Thank you. Artyom. |
