Hi! How are you doing?
I have created a new assignment for you! Here is the backing track! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/withguitar It's a minor blues The chord changes are: Ami7 - Dmi7 - Ami7 - Emi7 - Dmi7 - Ami7 I have a really good exercise that will help you develop your own style! I want you to start creating your own licks! To start we will use A minor blues pentatonic in 3 positions:    You can use any notes from those positions !Try to combine them together and turn them into short licks! I would like to hear what you can come up with before I will give you examples! Let me know if you need help or have any questions! QUOTE (maharzan @ Jul 15 2012, 02:30 AM)  This is where I stuck at Alex. The chord changes are so fast, I can't even remember the pattern. I mean there is litterally 2-3 notes I could play in that chord change. I can't think of now E dorian A mix D major. Its just too fast and my thinking process isn't fast yet I guess. I changed the backing track and assignment! Let's start slowly and gradually will be adding new things!

Hi Alex,
Just noodling around the scale. Please tell me what I can improve on. I sound too monotonous but I guess this is a better start. Concentrating on one thing at a time. Thanks for the push. http://soundcloud.com/nazraham/learning-the-neck-with-alex |

Now I would like you to start playing over the changes! Over Ami7 use A minor pentatonic in this shape  Over Dmi7 - D minor pentatonic in this shape  Over Emi7 - E minor pentatonic in this shape  Try to be as melodic as possible and gradually build your solo using shapes I have provided! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |

Hi Alex,

Try to keep it less busy and start with a Q&A technique and develop your solo gradually! I like your melodies a lot but if you will develop it better it will sound amazing! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |
