But I believe there are better ways to approach it. Too much clutter for me and way too much to learn at once for my likings. Not only that, but the idea of me playing and remembering this is unlikely(extremely), and you still need to know which notes to target. So to me, smaller mouthfuls are easier to swallow. To each their own, but seems a massive waste of time. Give me a few c,d, and g triads, learn those shapes, I can do alot. With alot less info. Not only that, but this is a years of learning area.
Just my thoughts and what I will be doing. Have fun!
Yes, it is definitely aimed at a player who is at a certain stage in his progress. If you find it involves too much learning then you are probably not ready for it. For me, I donāt feel there is anything new to learn with the toolā¦ itās more about reinforcing the shapes I know and learning to quickly and comfortably apply them in different keys and positions.
@oztelemann I tried to find an AVOYP or something of your playing to get a feel where you are at. But alas there is nothing for video as far as I can tell. You must be at grade 4 or 5 if your playing that well. Just curiosity more than anything. Maybe post one, I always look and listen to all. Donāt always comment. But listen for sureā¦
I donāt really know what grade I am. Iām not doing the ācourseā as such, but I guess it would be intermediate somewhere. Iām fine with strumming, fingerpicking, open and bar chords as I played a lot of acoustic in my younger days. But now trying electric and getting into blues which is a whole new challenge.
I might post a sound file some day but I doubt I will get into the whole video thingā¦ Iām really over battling with computer technology.
@oztelemann
Well I am surprised you havenāt at least went through it, one suggestion that is brought up alot, even if you are advanced, go through it and see if thereās any useful info. Crazy amounts of excellent structure info.
There is a really good section on blues in Beginnerās grade 2 that I have been practicing the last few months, with bends, vibrato and a handful of words(licks) to work with.
Beginnerās Blues
5 licks from pattern 1
Donāt know if you caught any of Justinās blues clubs. But I would check that out too.
Figured if your on a blues kickā¦you havenāt checked the course(you really should in my opinion) I learned so much it was nuts!
