OK! Let´s start now.
The Mentored Training Program allots in the first week the (Beginner) Strumming and Arpeggios lesson by Muris. I simply quote from the Syllabus: QUOTE Week 1 Timing & rhythm (Part 1) -Chords to a backing track Beginner- Strumming and Arpeggios Goal - To play the whole lesson. Purpose - practice timing and sense of rhythm. If this lesson gives problems - it will be a useful discovery. Dealing with the problem will help progress to the next level. instructions - A Video showing progress should be provided playing with the backing provided (slower backings can of course be used) As you see, this lesson should develop your timing and rhythm skills. What you should do first is to have a look at the tabs and try to play the whole lesson while reading. This helps to memorize it. However, the are a few things you should pay attention to:
Now, some theory! You should know what a chord is: a set of three (a triad) or more different notes that sound simultaneously. And what is an arpeggio? It´s a broken chord in which the notes are played one after another. That lesson is written in A minor natural, but it ends in C Major. We have the following notes: A B C D E F G A. From this we can build these chords: A min: A C E B dim: B D F (this one isn´t used very often in standard chord progressions) C Maj: C E G D min: D F A E min: E G B F Maj: F A C G Maj: G B D In this lesson, the progression goes like this: ||: Am, C, Em, G, Dm, F, G, C :|| (2x). Let´s take the degrees: ||: I, III, V, VII, IV, VI, VII, III :||. As you can see, every chord of that scale is used (except from the B diminshed chord). Progressions where nearly every chord of the scale is used are very rare, so you don´t have to remember this one. I just want you to know what is happening here. Any questions left? |

Where are you?
I wanted to ask you what techniques (or other topics like timing, etc.) you want to develop. |
