    Hallo Lynden! Thank you for your approach in these videos, that is exactly, what really helps. I have watched a lot of your colleagues´ tutorials and they are all very good but they mostly make to big leaps, so they are hard to follow much less copy. My own teacher supports the use of good tutorials, I have just sent him your link, so he can use your videos for his other pupils too. I hope, you don`t mind.

    @@lyndenblades I was going to nag you but I am giving you a break! LOL. Thing is the app has been around for at least 10 years. There are several real clunky, junky tutorials on youtube but I am surprised they missed the boat on it. Do they assume I have ESP to figure out the quirks? If you COULD do several videos on it SLOWLY explaining it all, that would be great. I will noodle around a bit on them but would appreciate guidance from someone "that has been there". Still trying to wake up, just 730 am on the east coast!!

    @@jimmygraf hi Jimmy, C-7 only tells you about the 1st, 3rd 5th and 7th chord tones, where the third and 7th have been flattened. It doesn’t tell you about the 6th so C-7 could be the Dorian or the Relative minor (Aeolian) as both scales have the same root, 3rd, 5th and 7th. Does this make sense?

If i creat some bars an press save. I don’t know how to find them next time? I look at your videos every day ❤ You are defently nr 1 to teach on you tube. I just start to lern the chords.

    Thank you Lyndon lesson is always useful and always listen whenever I have the Chance. I have been practicing the chord tones for years on my own but not with metronome except ones and more often with no long tone perhaps that's why it does sound good to me. But in your video when you play it it sounded gorgeous because you tend to use the long tone which is missing when I practicing it. I have to incorporate long tone in my next practice. Thank you so very much .

    Great video Lynden! I practice my scales using the circle of fifths but recently I’ve discovered that the chord tones are more useful in improvising, with occasional diversions to go up and down the scale. So this is a really useful exercise to embed the chord tones in muscle memory.
