Yep I am that guitar player…
Grade 4 major scale patters, CAGED E, and then onto chords in key for jamming.
Me - ok I can do that lets loop some G major chords and jam over the top
“You can jam to these songs… Knockin’ On Heavens door…” (but remember to shift down a half step
Ooh, jam away a bit, this is great, hey why dont I learn the solos see how they work with the G maj scale.
Detune guitar… Now mid (first) solo and I am well down the rabbit hole… and none of my 3 electrics are now in standard…
We’ve got a public holiday today so thats my day filled
What are you up to?

Helplessly Hoping.
Enjoy your holiday Rob!
I’m back to practicing some wooden music. Standard tuning. I’ve been on this song for weeks now and helplessly hoping practice makes perfect.
I get that! My singing has been classified as a war crime and if I attempt it again I’ll be visiting the Hague

Enjoy your holiday Rob!
Thanks!
Blues, blues and some more blues but I don’t seem to be getting very far, though I did have a jam along in A major penta yesterday instead of A minor, so that was a step forward.
Happy jammin’ Rob.

Haha, I did the same thing. Using Kinockin on Heaven’s Door as a study in harmonizing over a chord sequence in G (b). Had to get a new guitar so I could have one in standard tuning for random “normal” songs.

Thats the spirit!
OK so tonights squirrel -
My electrics are all in odd tunings so lets grab an acoustic
And jam ( Elevated Jam Tracks )!
Not tried the Maton with Archtype Petrucci
Wow the Piezo plus the Maton once dialed in with some reverb sounds incredible
A wild Metallica acoustic session appears

OK back a step kinda
The G maj scale thing lead me to GnR as suggested but I had missed JG having a lesson on the whole song.
So working on the opening chord/picking thing tonight!

How did it go, Rob? I hope you have a LP and a top hat on whilst your practicing?
It’s going OK, it’s a tricky one and I’ve not had much time
I do have a slash Les Paul which helps!
