Hello Denis,
We are starting with your MTP work for June in this thread. You should post all your future assignments here man. For your 1st assignment I have decided to work on some theory and harmony (reading + questions) which will later lead into recording and playing assignments. So no worries, we will put all this written stuff to good use! 1st assignment : Theory and harmony reading with extra questions! - I would like you to read my posts from links provided below. - Once you read it all, memorize 3 and 4 part harmony in C major scale. - Learn to apply scale degrees rather then numbers ( I in C major is C, IV in C is F etc). - Write out in this thread all notes for 3 and 4 part harmony in C major as well as in F and G major scales. Here are the links: Major scale harmony and chord functions Cadences Deadline for your 1st assignment is 9th of June! Let me know if you got any extra questions. Pedja |

Hi Pedja, Ok I will do my best to write as much as possible ... but you won't be happy Also, if you find some time, could you comment here on my colab I did. Here is the link: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...mp;#entry486193 Hvala! Denis Hi Denis, I checked your collab take, there are two things that come to my mind straight away. 1) Tuning and 2) Climax of the solo. Tuning seems to be a bit off from actual backing track, always strive for perfection in that department (sounds flat to the actual backing). Your ideas are good however there is no final direction or destination in your solo, strong finish or ending. I also didn't here climax in your solo, where was it all leading? I haven't done collaboration in a while but if I do decide to do one in future I will let you know to join it so that we can work on those things. Pedja |

Denis here is remaining 2 assignments for June!
3rd assignment: REC lesson Triads in a major scale Part 1 - Check out Triads in a major scale Part 1 HERE - Use backing track provided to record it. - Upload video on Youtube and embed it here. - Submit it for REC grading and in this thread here. 4th assignment : Superimposing with minor pentatonics + improvising - Read Superimposing with Minor Pentatonics post HERE - After reading the whole thing with related link posts, think about choosing one chord and one approach you will use for recording! - After you have chosen your approach, record a backing track with that chord and on top of that record yourself soloing with 1 or all 3 minor pentatonics corresponding with that mode! - Post your work in this thread. Let me give you an example here. Lets say that you have chosen A minor as your chord. Now you also chose A minor to be treated as II (Dorian sounding). In that case you should play minor pentatonics from G major scale ( A , B and E minor pentatonics) over A min chord in the background. 4th assignment asks you only to pick 1 but it also allows you to use all 3 pentatonics if you want to. Backing track doesn't have to be anything fancy for this purpose. Just guitar playing the chord will do, if you want to add bass and drums to that to make it sound tighter go ahead! Deadline for both assignments is 30th of June. Let me know if you got any extra questions! Pedja This post has been edited by Pedja Simovic: Jun 20 2010, 12:43 AM |
