Ouch! I was over confident… After having passed grade 1 and 2 very good scores without training, I thought I could take the test of grade 3 with no specific training. Wrong… I got 12 out of 20 only
I will practice using your tool, Justin.
Once more, your course Is great despite the fact I had to spend 2 weeks without my guitar which wouldn’t be taken on as cabin bagage by Transavia for less than a the price of an additional seat (my Stratocaster is smaller than the usual 110x55x45 cm3 that regular airlines allow to carry on small musical instruments).
I’ve been practicing on a fake neck the passed 15 days and I am happy to go home to my beloved guitar today
After daily training, these pay days 100% right! Ready to move on.
“As long as you got over 75% and you’re confident that you’re not getting one answer consistently wrong (if you are, study that interval more!) you’re ready to level up!”
100% on the quiz. Easy-breezy.
But “eeeerrrrrrrk”, (sound of record needle scratching across vinyl) there is no level to “level up” to.
More on that at the end of the Grade 3 discussion. I’ll make suggestions. I still have work to do. I’ve got the sound of the notes down solid, but? Practice makes permanent.
I’m going to go back and spend more time on Mental Fretboard Development.
That has a couple (or more) purposes.
I’ve got a lot of room for work on fretboard memorization, fretboard note visualization, and mental audibilization of scale degrees, and chords, and progressions. Onwards and upwards!
And I need to do the Quick-Fire Quiz, but I’m not too worried.
I really surprised myself with this one. grade 1, and 2 got full score but I had to whistle and sing the notes out loud. this time I challenged myself to write down the first answer that comes to mind immediately and guess what. full score again.
All 20 on the Grade 3 test for me. I do have a bit of a weakness on the higher pitched ones - a high root and anything from the 5th upwards leaves me a little unsure. I am primarily a bass and keyboard player though. Although there are plenty of treble keys on a piano, I don’t use them during a singalong. So I suspect I’ve become used to playing intervals in the lower and middle registers, but barely ever in the higher registers.
