Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

Lesson notes from January 26th 2012
Dorian Mode - Part 1 Here's the stuff about the Dorian Building blocks Dorian Mode Formula: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 (ex: A B C D E F# G A - A Dorian) Differentiating scale degrees: major 6th (and 2th) Chord types over which the mode fits best: m, m6, m6/9, m7, m9 Typical progressions: Im IV; Im IIM; Im bIII IV; Im VM IV Im; Im IIm bIII IIm Observations: - if you want to emphasize the Dorian mode over a minor chord, highlight the major 6th and the 2nd - the fact that the 6th is major and not minor, gives this mode a 'sweeter' sound than the heavy sounding of the Aeolian - if we remove the 2nd and the 6th from the Dorian mode formula, we end up with the minor pentatonic scale -> use it in Dorian contexts while adding and emphasizing the 2nd (9th) and major 6th to obtain the Dorian sound. - the Dorian mode can be heard in blues, jazz and fusion a lot of times. I have prepared a backing track for you guys so next time we shall be discussing Dorian phrases in a real context See you this Thursday, at 8 PM London time for the second session on the Dorian Mode and in the mean time, check out the GP file and the attached PDF.
