IS THAT YOUR MAMA?

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.

G# Major scale has these notes - G# A# C C# D# F G so, the scale harmonized as chords is - G# Major - G# (root) C (Major 3rd) D#(5th) - A# Minor - A# (root) C# (Minor 3rd) F (5th) - C Minor - C (root) D# (Minor 3rd) G(5th) - C# Major - C# (root) F(Major 3rd) G# (5th) - D# Major - D#(root) G (Major 3rd) A# (5th) - F Minor - F (root) G#(Minor 3rd) G(5th) - G Minor - G (root) A# (minor 3rd) C(5th) Hope this was OK.

B# and E# rarely appear in common western music. They are more of a convention Hope I didn't confuse you or something little bro You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And I though B# and E# are non-existent, we use C and F instead And I think I get why we call B# and E#, because all other notes are sharps ???

Everyone was after me, including mom, dad and my girl as well. I was a lone metal soldier who tried to do his best Next. I don't know if my pitches are correct and the same as that on guitar. I have a bad ear probably. So, I don't even know my comfort zone. I'll do a cover of Tears Don't Fall (acoustic) Let's see You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

OK. I'll sing against a guitar pro backing track, and then, I'll mute my guitar parts from the guitar pro and do a complete performance of the song. How does that sound ?
