And I'm working on three very different jazz tunes

All the Things you Are

Blue Bossa

And Oleo

All the Things you are is kinda complicated harmonically what with all the tonality changes.

Oleo is a bit simpler in that regard but has some weirder chords, and the melody has a weird part where I get lost when I read the notes.

Blue Bossa is the simplest, just two tonalities, and its more defined like one block is in C min, and the other block is in Db major, and its easier to switch when improvising

Just overall been working on my reading and modes, oh and also the Melodic Minor scale and different ways to play it around the fretboard, I hope I get all that under my belt by Saturday for my next class.

Keep in mind that I do nothing but play guitar all day and otherwise vegetate xD, so I divide this two hours in the morning ( like 11 am fr me ) two hours afternoon, and maybe one hour at like one in the morning where I'll just play xD.

My teacher is hitting me with lots of stuff... yay xD]]> Guitar Players Discussion Coolnama https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-learn-anything-new-over-the-past-weekend/paged/2/#post-355957 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-learn-anything-new-over-the-past-weekend/paged/2/#post-355803 Fri, 02 Jul 2010 03:20:02 +0000
Crazy Little Thing Called Love- Queen

Mary Jane's Last Dance- Tom Petty What a coincidence. I've been working on these two also. Queen b/c the song is in a recent issue of Acoustic Guitar. Mary Jane b/c I saw Petty in concert last weekend and spent much of the next day trying to play his songs.

When I ran into this fantastic lesson by VGStratGuy on youtube, Mary Jane became the one I'm determined to master:

I've been trying to dip into the world of soloing. This lesson has shown me how to incorporate some solo techniques into my chord strumming/picking. It's also a song with a bit of harmonica, which I've been playing around with for some time.

Here's a guy who is doing what I'm trying to do with the song:

I did it three times. ARGHH!!!!

OK, seriously, I have been looking at my new Accoustic Guitar White Pages over the weekend and decided that I should hit You Tube up for each song that I don't know by sight. It was actually a longer rask than I thought it would be. I marked the ones I liked, but could not remember them the next day with guitar in hand. so, I learned that I should just do one song at a time. That's what I'm doing right now. I narrowed it down to two, and am playing them to see which one I do first. It's a band that call themselves "Goo Goo Dolls" playing a song entitled "Iris". The other song is by a band called "The Calling" and a song entitled "Wherever You Will Go". So what did I learn, officially? Keep trying new stuff and let the occasional gems fall into you lap.

I think the Calling's song is winning.

Anyone else do that? Just surf youtube with a list in hand to see what inspires you to learn something new?]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-learn-anything-new-over-the-past-weekend/#post-355678 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-learn-anything-new-over-the-past-weekend/#post-355642 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:15:32 +0000
I also learned that I prefer to work through things from a real book, rather than computer or DVD. At first the DVDs I owned were brilliant, but its become increasingly aparent that I simply don't use spare time to watch DVDs and the missus won't let me take over the TV all night lol.

I also learned never to give your poorly son medicine he doesnt like while wearing your freshly ironed white work shirt. He might only just know his colours by name, but he definitely doesn't forget the link between the orange colour and the taste! :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-learn-anything-new-over-the-past-weekend/#post-355642 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-learn-anything-new-over-the-past-weekend/#post-353228 Sun, 23 May 2010 18:52:38 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-learn-anything-new-over-the-past-weekend/#post-353228 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-learn-anything-new-over-the-past-weekend/#post-353214 Sun, 23 May 2010 15:35:46 +0000

Not to go into a concert under-rehearsed, which I feel I did yesterday - that's what. I got re-booked on the spot, which is always nice, but I really think I ought to have worked harder in the run-up to this gig.
