Be sure to ask anything you need about theory, will be pleased to help you!
And here's our next weekly assignment, it's a AP Lick in key of Am, played over Am, F7 and E7 chords, kind a blues/jazz feel since it has few chromatic lines, string skipping is involved as well. Tempo is 120bpm, try it slow and build up the speed smoothly. AP_Lick.gp5 ( 2.32K ) Number of downloads: 11 -------------------- Youtube

I m on this.. grabbed the notes at 40bpm.. wow.. long way to go. Not sure if 120bpm is possible in a week. So, what is the trick here, I see there are so many off notes but it sounds good. Landing on the right note at the beat? 120bpm is the tempo I chose cause it sounds ok, you don't have to play it at 120 by all means but get as close as you can. Could you be a bit more specific about "off" notes you mention so I could give you explanation? -------------------- Youtube

I mean the chromatic notes.. sharps than regular Am Scale ? Well the regular Am scale was hardly in use there, we had A Dorian over Am chord instead. F7 chord provides us with Eb note and as usual tool in Blues/Jazz we get to connect chord notes by playing chromatic, Eb, E and F per example. The we had E7 chord that gave us G# note instantly, we might consider using A Harmonic minor over this E7 chord but Harmonic minor would hardly sound Blues/Jazzy. Instead we stick to notes of E7 chord (E, G#, B and D) while connecting few using chromatic, D,D# and E per example, also we used G note as a passing tone towards G#, 9th note in 3rd bar. -------------------- Youtube

yup.. just did it at 100bpm.. cool now its getting pretty extensive! My brains kind of slow perhaps.. I saw a video on youtube (on speed) that said.. its just not about practice.. or fingers.. its about how fast you can think.. That's very true, muscle memory has major roll but nothing can't be done without proper brain use. -------------------- Youtube

Oh yeah, pushing things a bit ahead of our current limits
could be quite useful to figure out how our hands should act, I'm glad you tried it!! Whatsoever, 114bpm sounds like a fine match, go for it. -------------------- Youtube
