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:

Hey Denis,
Good work man! Here are some pointers :
1) Scale degree VII with 3 part harmony is actually diminished triad. Instead of writing minb5 you should use dim symbol.
2) In general when labeling minor chords, aim to use min instead of just m as it is not complete
Everything else was good man. Now you can do 4 other keys since we have time before 2nd assignment!
Do D A Bb and Eb major keys.

Fantastic work Denis!
I will post your 2nd assignment today or tomorrow. Think about taking these chords and learning them on your guitar! I will give you some of my Triads lessons as well as 4 part harmony lessons.
Pedja
Here is your 2nd assignment Denis!
2nd assignment :
Theory and Harmony essay
This assignment is sort of like an essay or written theory behind your current level of knowledge. This will help me totally understand where you at right now. I will give you couple of topics from which you can choose one (or more if you want to!) and write me as many things as possible about it. The deadline for this assignment is 19th of June. Here are the topics for your 2nd assignment :
1) Tell me everything you know about major scale. Construction, intervals, harmony and everything else you feel I need to know.
2) Tell me everything you know about cadences in major scale and its modes. Use C major scale for explanations.
3) Tell me everything you know about major scale modes?
4) Tell me everything you know about modal harmony?
5) Tell me everything you know about pentatonic scales?
6) Tell me everything you know about chord tone and tension relationship with harmony ?
7) Tell me everything you know about natural/harmonic/melodic minor scale harmony?
8) Tell me everything you know about natural/harmonic/melodic minor modes and harmony?
Remember, pick one (or more if you can do it by deadline) and write me as much as possible on given subject. I want to read and understand how you approach and understand given material.
Let me know if you have any 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:
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=35326&st=20&gopid=486193&#entry486193
Hvala!
Denis
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
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads_in_Major_Scale_Series_Part_1/
- 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 http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=33346&view=findpost&p=458549
- 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
( Could you please explain if this because we are looking for pure triades or would it just sound odd? I tried it and to me it souds ok. Perhaps this doesnt bring out the mode flavor which has a perfect Vth ??)
Denis let me respond to your question first.
B dim triad could be used over D Dorian mode but we wouldn't use it with D min triad as they are too much alike (one note difference). Nothing wrong with B dim triad, it has major 6th (characteristic note of the mode) , Root and Minor 3rd.
Regarding your assignment, you did great, thank you.
I am waiting for your remaining assignments. Please make sure you complete them by 30th of June!
Hello Pedja,
Here is the REC
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=35750&st=0#entry488628
BR,
Denis
Cool Denis, I am expecting your 4th assignment asap.
Hi Pedja,
Here is my last assignment for this part.
I have some problems with my youtube account so I'm uploading it this way. I'll upload it on youtube when I fix the account problems.
BR,
Denis
Hi Denis,
I watched your video, you did some very nice superimposing approaches. Your note choice was very tension based which was basically what my intention was with the superimposing assignment. Thank you for completing all the work in June. I will now close this thread for GMC management purposes and open July thread for you.
