Your 1st assignment will be based on Triads lesson but this time you will do 2nd part of series. 1st assignment and REC : - Triads in C major scale part 2 - Record video of Triads in C major scale part 2 lesson found HERE - Use backing track provided in the thread when recording it. - Try to apply left hand fingerings I applied but stick to right hand fingerings all the way. - Upload video on Youtube and post it in this thread here. - When you are done with video, post it in REC part of forum for grading! Deadline for this assignment is January 10th. Let me know if you have any questions! Pedja This post has been edited by Pedja Simovic: Jan 3 2010, 10:07 PM |

Thanks Pedja, you're too kind with my RECs.
 Those triads lessons were interesting. It's nice to extend my vocabulary. I still need to check the cadences and substitutions a lot more because I still don't have them memorized. Currently, what I do the most is improvisation over a backing track or over a loop I record. I would like to improve the way I improvise so it sounds less repetitive and to be able to record better loop or track with more structure, two line of guitar and to finally create a full song. I am really always composing/improvising/creating and not playing a lot of full songs/cover. So I think I need both, theory and techniques. Not sure how you organize your lessons but if we can do both it's great.  I certainly need to improve my speed, accuracy, tempo, rhythm, legato, etc... etc... etc... A lesson that summarize quite closely my goals is this one : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Angus-...-Billy-Gibbons/ I am probably not very clear, am I ?

Keil I really like the way you lay out things here. I am going to assign you besides chord vocabulary, theory and harmony more assignments that are improvisation based so that you can accomplish your goals above. 2nd assignment will be posted soon so stay tuned. |

Keil here are your remaining assignments for January.
3rd assignment : - 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! 4th assignment : - 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! 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 these assignments is 31st of January! Let me know if you have any questions ! Pedja |

Hi Pedja, here's my take...
I played a riff on Em7 and Fm7 and then improvised only on minor pentatonic (aeolian) on Bm, C#m, Em and Fm (fret 7, 9, 12 and 14). This is 100% improvised, some passage are not that good in my opinion. There are not a lot of notes but I am pretty happy with the mood. Well, enough said...

Number of downloads: 212Hi Keil, I like your take a lot. Very musical. For assignment purpose I asked only from you to pick 1 chord. I know that could sound "boring and predictable" but that was the assignment. This is however very musical piece and I will accept it since you used superimposing and did more on top of that
