Just wanted to follow up and see how are you doing? Do you have any questions or need help with anything let me know!
Thanks for the exercises! They look interesting. I start with it today.
And yes, I have one question
Do the dots in the tab notation have a special relevance?

Hi Alex!
sorry - had a pretty stressful last week. I didn't find the time to post something.
I started with your AP-excercises and, man, they are really cool. I hate those "1-2-3-4"-pattern exercises. And, yours are really musical
During playing that patterns, a matching chord progression came to my mind. I recorded it and practiced along with it. That was much fun.
I would like to record it for you. So I could show you my first steps with it.
Is that okay?
Hey Alex!
I just recorded a take of some of you AP-excercises combined with the mentioned chord progression:
Can you give me some feedback on that? Am I doing it right? Do I practice slow enough? Is the hand movement okay?
Thanks!!
Awesome! Glad to hear from you!
So I have a new assignment for you! We will start to get into improvisation more and I will explain you more tricks about making your solos "smart" and be able to improvise on the spot!
I also will join you on the next week and will record pieces myself to give you some ideas! It will be like a collab but only you and me!
For now I would like you to get more familiar with this track!

Over A7
F# minor pentatonic

Over D major 7
B minor Pentatonic
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
This is a very fun exercise and it will help you to get use to play different scales and pentatonics!
Let me know if you have any question!
Hi! I just wanted to follow up and see if you are ready to start one on one collab and get into improvisation more! Let me know!
Just wanted to check and see if you are still interested in getting into improvisation?? I have a new assignment ready!
