Hi Dexxter and thanks for the video
 I thought this would be a piece of cake for you You did some good parts but many had wrong notes. There is just one trick in this whole assignment. Here are some tips how to make it easier for you. When you start playing the first part you are in C major (except E7 chord). From F# minor chord you are in A major. That's all Modes will change automaticaly through the progression as you play one scale. Of course I want you to focus on modes and their roots instead of thinking of the major scale but you can do it until you get familiar with the shapes.You wrote F minor in your list. There is no F minor here, there is F# minor. That's very different I guess you meant F# minor. Also there is no "F major/D# minor". I didn't write that in the progression.You wrote all correct modes but there is an exception where I though you would hear it. It is better to play C#7 as mixolydian, not phrygian. The same goes for E7 chord. That's because phrygian is a minor mode - it's got minor 3rd in the scale. Our dominant 7 chord has major third. Actually the best scale to use there would be phrygian dominant. Same as phrygian but with the major 3rd. That's the 5th mode of harmonic minor. We haven't done these yet but I just thought you would hear it. In our case we need to have some kind of a dominant 7 flow over that chord. The easiest option is just to throw a dominant 7 arpeggio (1, 3, 5, b7) and you would hear that you're sounding great This is not bad take but I would like to hear an improved one with changing more positions. Let fix this for the next Sunday so we can go for more modal stuff.

QUOTE (Dexxter @ Dec 7 2009, 10:01 PM)  Yes, I meant F# minor, sorry The F major/D# minor came from C# mixolydian, isn't that correct? Or am I thinking wrong?I feel stupid, I know all this but got it wrong somehow I guess I didn't hear it because I was busy trying to think of which notes I could play or something hahaOk C# mixolydian can be from F# major not F major but as I said, just play C#7 arpeggio there and it will be fine. The same for E7 chord. You don't have a reason to feel stupid. You're one of the fastest progressing participants. I suggest that you fix this take within a day or two so we don't lose the whole week. Now that you got the whole point you can just throw a take and upload it. You don't have to write modes, I can hear them. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

My three best takes tonight. Still have some troubles, but much better than the last one over all.

Ok, let's say you passed this one with about 70%. Still some wrong notes here and there but much better than the last time. You're sliding too much on one string when shifting position. Try to visualise roots on other strings so you can move in between shapes while on any string. Also I noticed you're sticking too much on the first couple of frets and using open strings. That's 4th position of A minor or 3rd position of C major. Open strings don't always sound interesting on distorted electric guitar. Maybe a couple of notes. I only use those on acoustic this much. Anyway I am happy too see the progress. You'll get comfortable with this I'm sure.
Let's now catch up with the next assignment which is on Sunday. If you don't manage by Sunday try by Tuesday at least so we can catch Sunday deadlines from there. NoSkill is doing this one so I'll just copy the assignment from his thread. Assignment 2 - December 13th The second task is to make charts (like I made for major scales) for arpeggios in 5 positions. Please make 3 charts - maj7, dom7 and min7 arpeggios. I want you to send me the picture on email, do not upload here as some other guys will have to make the same. We don't want stolen work You can use Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel or any other graphic program and export jpg picture. You already have my chart so for maj7 arpeggio you can just take out 2nds, 4ths and 6hts, that will leave you with maj7 arpegio. For dom7 the same but change the maj7th interval to b7th and that will give you dom7 arpeggio. You figure out the min7 chart. Paint root notes in black or some different color that the other notes. Play all 3 of them like you did with the major scales in all positions as written on the chart which you will make. Please play all arpeggios over some drum loop or a metronome. You can use one key for each.Assignment 3 - December 20th Improvise over the same track that you have made for the first assignment but only with arpeggios that you have made on the second assignment. When I say arpeggio I don't mean the fast sweeped arpeggio. Just normal 8th or 16th notes one after another. Here is the list which you can use. The chords are not in order as on the backing, just the reference which arpeggio you should use over each chord. Am - min7 Dm7 - min7 E7 - dom7 C#7 - dom7 F#m - min7 E - dom7 D - maj7 A - maj7 E/G# - dom7 Please use as many positions as you can. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Well I hope this will be fixed
I need a video arpeggios that you have sent to me as well. Just pure arpeggios in one video and another one with a good take over this progression by the end of the month. So 2 separate videos. Also one REC take is required by the end of the month if we want to move on. Any GMC lesson. You still have time When you upload on the REC thread please leave the link here as well.Cheers This post has been edited by Emir Hot: Dec 24 2009, 12:23 AM -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Hi Emir
Here's the REC take to round up December: B minor Ballad Solo Edit: I'm sorry Emir, but it would be just another video like the last one if I tried recording one. I feel like I need to practice this a lot more, since I didn't nail these progression assignments. And I've been thinking that maybe it would be a good idea if we took a months "break" so I could really learn all the notes and positions so I can nail this. And then maybe we could continue in February, if this is ok with you ofcourse? I feel that I'm just going to, sort of, take up your time if you have to watch me fail, or slightly pass, the assignments over and over. So is this ok with you? And the MTP rules and those who decide them ofcourse? This post has been edited by Dexxter: Jan 1 2010, 04:21 PM |

Thanks for the REC video.
If you want to take a month break then ok but can you just submit the video of arpeggio shapes - not improvisation over the backing. With that one I can close this thread and submit to GMC staff to approve it. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

QUOTE (Dexxter @ Jan 2 2010, 12:31 PM) Ok. So I'm just playing the arpeggio positions over a drum loop? Like I did with the major scale positions? Yes.

Thanks man that was really good. I hope you will use these shapes a lot. So this thread will be locked now and we'll make one month break as you said.
Cheers. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>
