Hi Roman,
We continue now with our work for February. For first 2 assignments I have decided to continue with superimposing with minor pentatonics only this time you will have to read the thread about major chords and record some superimposing with minor pentatonics over major type chords. Here is your 1st and 2nd assignment 1st assignment : - Read Superimposing with Minor Pentatonics over Major type chords post HERE - After reading the whole thing with related link posts, think about choosing one chord and one approach you will use for recording! 2nd 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 C major as your chord. Now you also chose C major to be treated as I (Ionian sounding). In that case you should play minor pentatonics from C major scale ( D ,E and A minor pentatonics) over C major 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 first two assignments is 14th of February. Let me know if you have any questions. Pedja |

Roman we continue with your remaining assignments for February. We have 3rd, 4th and REC assignment to cover.
3rd assignment and REC : - Record Open Triads in a major scale series part 1 lesson found HERE - Once you are done with video recording, upload it in REC part of forum for grading. Make sure that you include voting pool. 4th assignment : - Record backing track using two random chords! - Chords could have the same quality (two major chords for example) or different quality ( minor and then major chord). - Chords don't have to be diatonic ( in other words you could record C and Eb major chords in backing track!) - Over these chords, solo using superimposing with minor pentatonics! - Once you recorded your solo, upload it in this thread. For example... I choose to record two chords that have same quality, major chords. First chord is C major while second is Eb major. Duration is the same for both of the chords. Now what I need to do is decide what I want my C major and Eb major to sound like. I decide that I want C major to sound like Ionian, so I pick E minor pentatonic to solo over. In other case I choose my Eb major to sound like Mixolyidian, so I pick Bb minor pentatonic to superimpose over it. Now I record a solo using E minor and Bb minor pentatonics over C major and Eb major chords. The duration of solo is your choice! Let me know if you have any questions. Deadline for these assignments is 28th of February ! Pedja |

Number of downloads: 124Hey Roman, You should work on pressing with your index finger and thumb around same position on guitar neck. Perhaps a little bit on the left should your thumb be. Also try lowering your index finger when barring. I see tip of your finger above the fretboard a lot, you can lower it down a bit without any problem. Try those things and let me know how it goes! |

Hey Pedja,
last day, last assignment: here it is :
A4.mp3 ( 997.59K )
Number of downloads: 154I hope you like it. I used C Major and G Major in the backing and E minor and A minor Pentatonic for Solo. let's see how it goes on with the new MTP rules and maybe i have the luck to join up again with you in 3 months. I learned so much from the beginning with you. I never wrote it here but with your help i was able to write my first own song. I wrote this song for my girlfriend and it was a nice Christmas present. If you want to listen to it here it is :
NikolausGeschenk.mp3 ( 5.17MB )
Number of downloads: 173So i have to say it again: Thanks for the great time, i learned a lot and it was really fun to work with you and complete your assignments. Cheers Roman -------------------- My gear:

Cheers Roman Hey Roman my friend, Great work with REC, assingment and song for your gf. I was very happy to read about that and then listen to the song and enjoy it. I must say that I am very unhappy with new MTP rules, I don't feel we should stop working nor that you guys should pause for 3 months. I am sincerely hoping they would find a new way very soon. Otherwise I will stop teaching 9 of you guys here which is definitely something I don't want to happen. Lets keep in touch, write me on my board as I have to close this thread and submit it for your completed work in February! |
