Hi Roman,
We are continuing with our MTP in January where we left of in December. I hope you had good celebration for new years and extra couple days of, now its time to do some work. 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 a song context - Record video of Triads in a song context 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 |

Thank you Roman!
If you don't finish it by 10th we will extend deadline by day or two so that you can complete it. Once you get going it will be easier as you go along

Hey Pedja,
i want to give you a quick update how the assignment is going on. So i thought the best way is to record a take for you. I used the 90 bpm backing and I am sure you can hear that i need a lot more hard work to get this nice piece of music to a good level. This was just a quick recording. I practice this lesson very hard. Sometimes i play it better and sometimes it sounds like on the track i recorded or even worse. But i will do my best.

Number of downloads: 204Hey Roman, Thank you for sending me the audio recording of the lesson. This is not bad at all man. There is only one chord that you got wrong which is right at 00:20. Check that one out in your guitar pro file and notes and make sure you do the right one there. Everything else is pretty good. By playing it consistently you will get the flow in it. I know when I was composing the lesson it was natural for me but then I didn't play it for a month or so and then I even had to remember what I was doing there  You get the idea man, look forward to final recording of it and video for REC!

Hey Pedja,
I picked topic number one, because in my opinion it is the base of our musical system and i have to know it by heart! But i also think that i covered some parts of topic 2 and 3 . cheers Roman

Roman 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,
sorry for the delay. Here is my take. It's far away from being good. Maybe it could be useful that you play over my backing and show me how the develop nice sounding licks or ideas instead of just noodling the pentatonic scale. Cheers Roman

Number of downloads: 183Hi Roman, I like this take, it is very melodic actually. If you want me I could record something over your backing track in couple of days. I am preparing your 1st assignment for February and I got gig on Wednesday so after that I could possibly do it. This definitely passes the last 2 assignments. I will close this thread for January and open a new one (February) for you soon. Thank you Roman! |
