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.

Hear ye, hear ye! The blues scale and its modes are coming!! Let's see what we can learn by using the blues scale with a twist so, this one is not a diatonic one, but that does not mean it doesn't contain any modes It's formula is 1 b3 4 5 b5 5 b7 and this will spawn some interesting combinations but a bit more special when being applied. The most popular one - the bluegrass scale - is created from the b3rd of the blues scale and it has the following formula: 1 2 b3 b 5 6 it looks like the major pentatonic scale with a b3 nice, right? You can transpose your blues scale licks down a b3rd from the root of the chord if you want to play them in this mode! Check out Example 1 for a dose of Bb bluegrass scale - observe how the 3rd and the b3rd are mixed Example 2 is a more developed application of this mode, somewhat resembling a southern style solo If we start on the 5th degree of the blues scale, we shall obtain a unique mode which will work best over dominant #9th chords. Its formula is: 1 b3 4 b6 b7 7. Tip: play the blues scale a fourth above or a fifth below the root of the chord over which you are soloing - this is our mode In Example 3, you can see this mode in action, by superimposing G blues scale licks over a D7#9 chord. I'll be waiting for you guys as usual in the chat room on Thursday, at 8 PM London time See you there! Cosmin
