    In case you ever wonder whether your lessons have an impact or not let me assure you - they do. This lesson is exactly what I was looking for and at just the right technical level, so thank you.

    That's very kind of you to say, La Onza. I make videos which I wish I had had available to me when I started playing and I am delighted to hear that others have benefited from the content. Are there any other videos you'd like to see in the future? In the meantime check out my other videos, there's around 300 of them so hopefully something else useful amongst them for you! Cheers

    Hello Nice lesson! However, I find myself a little lost after going through all the video, so many things were mentionned ;) could you visually recap (in description or comment) which SCALE to use on every bar? Example : bar 1-2 = G maj bar 3-6 = F maj, ... after that is where i'm lost (bar 7-8= Eb maj? or Gmin harmonic? if you could continue the recap here that be very helpful! Thanks

    I too have spent my fair share on time and money on tuition and tuition materials with mixed results. Be sure to subscribe as my brother and I will be launching our website by the end of the year at the latest. We have already created our theory you actually need to know course and guitar visualisation course but we have a few more we are aiming to finish by launch.

    Why is the first G-7 chord in the B part related to an harmonic minor scale and not simply an eolian scale?

  • @CharlesHarrisonMusicTuition

    @CharlesHarrisonMusicTuition

    4 жыл бұрын

    Thank you for your question! The indicator of the harmonic minor is either a -7b5 chord or a 7b9 chord before the G-7 chord, and in this instance we get both. You could play G harmonic minor on those two chords and play the Aeolian on the G-7 too though, so there are always plenty of options! Hope that helps, Charles
