Hi Keil!
Welcome to your December Mtp Thread  Due to your computer/recording/hardware problem, I have decided to go easy on you for your 1st assignment. I hope you will resolve the problem soon so that we can kick it in full gear! For your 1st assignment we will instead focus on some theory and harmony which you will get the test for. Let me know if you need any help with it and here is your 1st assignment for December!Your 1st assignment for December is due week from today (10th of December) Theory reading : - 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: Major scale harmony and chord functions Cadences Let me know if you have any questions and if I could help in any way! Pedja |

Keil excellent response!
I would prefer you used Maj7 instead of M7; same goes for Min7  Read the post on cadences again and let me know if you need any extra help. |

Keil I hope you got your recording gear and computer finally sorted. I want you to work on Alternate picking for 2nd assignment. If you are not able to do that right now we can postpone it and do Theory and Harmony related assignment now. Let me know ASAP.
Deadline for your 2nd assignment is 18th of December. Alternate picking - Record each lick in 3 different tempos! Make sure tempos are at least 15-20 bpm difference. - Try to show me your maximum tempo for these licks, I want you to push yourself here! - Feel free to ask for more exercises if these are too easy for you! - Upload your takes in this thread. Ideally I would like you to do videos, put them on Youtube and embed them here. You can find these exercises played in the thread HERE Let me know if you got any questions! Pedja

Hello Pedja, I am currently checking a bit more about Major Scale Harmony :
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=30271 ... and I found something strange. In the paragraph about Dominant harmonization you say : QUOTE VI scale degree = B diminished = B D F = It has 7 2 and 4 ! 7 is essential note as its leading into 1 which is C note in this case. I already discussed importance of 2 and 4 above. Thats another great chord right there. But isn't it the VII scale degree ? A bit further your say VII btw but it's pretty confusing the first time. --------------------  My Guitars: Fender Stratocaster Billy Corgan Signature, Ibanez RG270 My Amp: Peavey Bandit 112 My Pedals: Blackstar HT-Dual, Boss DD-7, Boss CS-3, Boss RC-20 My Wishlist: New bridge + Pickups for my Ibanez, EHX POG2, EHX Cathedral / Holy Grail |

As you saw I never edited that post it was all written at once. Now I edited it and corrected that typo. Glad you noticed it! |

I recorded all the exerices in 3 different speeds (50 - 65 - 75).
There are a few tempo problem I think and I can't get faster than 75 without being sloppy so I stopped then.
