No problem at all, take your time and have fun at festival,next week sounds just great!!
Regarding timing, there are no certain hints but only more listening and better understanding of timing. It IS tricky to start with new kinds of timing if we have been playing straight grouping all the time, we need more time to adapt, that's all. You'll get there eventually, no worries, listen to the timing and you'll imitate it correctly after a while, stay with backing and it'll be tight.

Oh yeah, you are SURELY getting there!!
Each take so far has been better and better and hopefully you'll practice this lesson among other things we gonna work in MTP so you could track your overall progress. Take rest from this one and lets try Fusion Jam, shall we?

Well you were pretty close, good job!
A note tho, Mark uses lots of slash chords in his progressions which was the case here as well, there is B/A and E/G#. This E/G#m is actually the one you named as G#m, maybe you were listening on PC speakers without enough bass, could be. Also there is one F#(major) chord in main theme, it goes right before last B chord in progression and it has "second dominant" role. Are you familiar with second dominant term?

QUOTE (maharzan @ Oct 5 2009, 06:56 PM) and by the way, I have now 'learnt' all the notes from fusion jam.. will be practicing from tomorrow at full swing. That sounds great, can't wait to see it!! Regarding so called "second dominants", it's pretty easy to understand tho so here's a quick and I hope useful lesson. The song is in a key of C#m or E major and regular triads are: E, F#m, G#m, A, B, C#m and D#dim. Dominant as it is should be major chord to have full domination over a chord, there are also minor dominants as we'll see in this exercise but what we need the most are major chords in function of dominant. Dominant is 5th degree in a scale, in E major scale we have B chord at 5th degree and it's all ready major so we're good with that one. Now let's have a look at parallel minor which is C#m, you might wanna look at it as a key of C#m for better navigation. It's dominant is G#m, this chord is minor and it's already included in a key. Now, G# chord has been appearing few times and it can be considered 2nd dominant for 6th degree chord (which is C#m) in a key of E. Now it's time to deal with F# chord, it works as 2nd dominant for our regular dominant in a key of E which is B chord. Pure "dominant" for B chord in a key of E would be F#m but it's minor chord and it doesn't really dominates that heavily over B chord. That's why we use F# instead. For better understanding of this I suggest you to play few chords, something like this: E (root), than F#m (2nd degree), A (4th degree), B (5ths degree), go back to E and then play F# (major) with following B, eventually you might wanna end whole thing on E. You'll hear how this F# major gravitates to B chord, it's 2nd dominant (for real dominant) in a key of E.

G-Force should work on all powers,
all you need is power cable with the right plug. G-Force should work on all powers, all you need is power cable with the right plug.
