Hi JVM,
Welcome to your December MTP Thread. I read your Guitar CV and found some very interesting things in there Since you asked me to push you more on theory (modal application) arpeggio shapes and chords, I have decided to focus on theory in your first assignment. Believe me when I say I have already created a full plan for you this month so if you follow the work I feel you will already have much better understanding in areas mentioned above! Lets get started now Your 1st assignment for December is due week from today (10th of December) Here is your assignment 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. - Explain to me how do we build chords in the first place? - Write me what determines some chord progression to be in certain mode? How do we make a chord progression for D Dorian for example? 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,
I was looking at this thread and specifically post # 15 by Mr. T, where he asks if we have a Am, Dm, C chord progression going, and we play Cmajor/Aminor scale on top of it, what will it sound like? I tried to explain it to myself, but I came out a little confused. It's kind of backwards to the way I just learned. Am I right in thinking that Am is tonic, Dm is sub-dominant and C is (weak) tonic in this case? The progression lends a very minor sound to my lead playing when I play Cmajor/Aminor on it. So is this an aeolian cadence? Anyways, I know you're busy, but when you get a chance can you maybe look over the post and provide an explanation, either here or in the thread?

Great JVM. Look for some instructional videos on Youtube regarding Reaper or simply ask members here at GMC - a lot of them use Reaper!

Hi Pedja,
Since I've been busy all week (school is finally over), but I still wanted to get the assignment in on time, I've kept the key to C, so D dorian. The bassline is a bit crude I think, but it will work I guess. More practice needed there, but it's a lot of fun to be able to create "full" backings now, so it will be fun practice Here is the backing I've come up with, let me know what you think: dorian.mp3 ( 2.19MB ) Number of downloads: 176 -------------------- Gear: Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster, Gibson '67 RI Flying V, Mesa Boogie F-30 112 combo, crazy pedals.
