Hi Pedja,
Next week at work I'm super busy & I knew I definatly wouldn't get a chance to record a video. I managed to get a good bit of practise on Thursday evening and Friday day on it. Sat not so much and had a few run throughs this morning. I've recorded a take I'm just waiting for my youtube to sort it's life out and once it is fully up I will stick the link in. I tried to stay in position for the chord tones as I thought this would be the correct approach instead of jumping round following chord box shapes. In the 2nd chorus I did move around a bit more. **edit** Assignment 1 The video quality isn't as good as I expected... maybe it will improve with time/youtube thing, anyway hope its ok. Regards Kieran This post has been edited by stratman79: Mar 9 2010, 11:05 PM |

Regards Kieran Hi Pedja, just so you know I have a copy of the new real book (edition 6) if that helps for setting future assignments. Kieran Hi Kieran! As I already responded about your 1st assignment via private message I think it is safe to move onto 2nd assignment now. In the 2nd assignment I would like you to work more on the rhythm and phrasing in your soloing. I can give you some suggestions for soloing rhythms that you can use : 1) 8th , 8th, Quarter (ta ta taaaa or reverse Taaaa Ta ta ) 2) Half note followed by two eights and a quarter note. 3) 8th , 8th, Quarter followed by Half 4) Eight note triplet followed by four 8th notes and a quarter note. What I would like you to do in your 2nd assignment is take Autumn Leaves again and record couple of choruses while soloing with various rhythms. Be free with rhythm more then melody, I am looking to hear your rhythm vocabulary here not your melodic choice. Anything from one chorus to more is acceptable as assignment. The more you do it the better you will become with it. Here is your assignment 2nd assignment : Rhythm vocabulary - Over standard Autumn Leaves, record at least one chorus soloing with various rhythm phrases. - Try to use as much variety as possible in rhythms but yet make things musical with that. - Tempo and key of your choice as well as accompaniment! Deadline for this assignment is 19th of March! (5 days from now) Let me know if you have any more questions! Pedja |

Hi Pedja,
recorded a take here. had a nightmare with my youtube, can't log into he one I use for GMC and it seems that part of the video has been cut only leaving the audio?? (maybe its taking a while to upload or something??) I'll try and re - upload it with the video in later. Anyway here's the file, not really what I hoped to acheive rhythm wise but as it has to be handed in, I suppose it will have to do and move on!! and returning to that 'e' on fret 9 far too much, infact as I listen back its really starting to annoy me!!! Assignment 2 thanks Kieran **edit** Here is the re-uploaded one. assignment 2 - take 1 (new upload) Still the screen goes black sometimes?? really don't understand why???

Assignment 2 thanks Kieran **edit** Here is the re-uploaded one. assignment 2 - take 1 (new upload) Still the screen goes black sometimes?? really don't understand why??? Hi Kieran, I checked both of your videos and as you said at some point screen just goes black. Maybe the problem lies in your video card in your computer. I had a similar problem when I was editing things in Vegas with my old computer. Too little ram memory and hard drive space and video card was getting too much thing to process. I got a new computer and I haven't had that problem since... I am happy with what I heard in your take. You used different rhythm and you managed to do what I asked for. I can still here that your phrasing needs work as when you play up beat type rhythms you tend to sound off (rushed or very laid back). Regardless of what phrasing we use, our goal is to always have a strong knowledge and feel of where the center of the beat is. This is why I have decided to give you one of my lessons for REC that should help you understand and hear this better. Here are your remaining 2 assignments for March. 3rd assignment : Lesson for REC - Record a video of Straight vs Syncopated Collaboration Solo found HERE - Use the backing track provided in this thread. - When you have uploaded your video on Youtube, embed it on this thread. - You should also submit your video (embed it) in the REC part of forum for final grading. - Deadline for this assignment is 31st of March! 4th assignment : Theory and harmony 1) Tell me everything you know about major scale. Construction, intervals, harmony and everything else you feel I need to know. 2) Tell me everything you know about cadences in major scale and its modes. Use C major scale for explanations. 3) Tell me everything you know about major scale modes? 4) Tell me everything you know about modal harmony? 5) Tell me everything you know about pentatonic scales? 6) Tell me everything you know about chord tone and tension relationship with harmony ? 7) Tell me everything you know about natural/harmonic/melodic minor scale harmony? 8) Tell me everything you know about natural/harmonic/melodic minor modes and harmony? Deadline for this assignment is 31st of March! Remember, pick one (or more if you can do it by deadline) and write me as much as possible on given subject. I want to read and understand how you approach and understand given material. Let me know if you have any questions regarding assignments and good luck Kieran Pedja |

Hi Pedja,
Here is the video for Rec 1 Couldn't get the sound as close as I would have liked, I ony have a small camcorder and when I push my amp the camcorder distorts (I think the mic just has a set level) It does break up a little but I think it is just about acceptable. Let me know if you want me to do it again. Regards Kieran |
