    I take it those segments would be short and hard to grasp? 😉

    For me Theory, Songwriting, Music Biz & maybe even Music Biz Stories would be right up my street! ☺️ 🤘

    Thinking about posting a quick Triads video lesson when I get the time - It would be a lesson teaching you how to break out of your scale shapes momentarily and get some simple but cool melodies going. Would this be of use to anyone on here? Let me know and hope everyone has a cracking day! ☺️

    Just A Personal Thought About The School Rebranding ...

    Definitely agree with this. I snooped around other guitar forums back when I first started teaching and would sometimes cringe so hard at how some people would straight up just intimidate beginners/people asking for advice, just to stroke their own egos - And I've never experienced it here with...

    Just A Personal Thought About The School Rebranding ...

    Thanks for the mention @Ed Seith 🤟 Always here to help!

    Name this chord 🤟

    Cmin#11 makes sense for sure 👌 Yeah you're absolutely right regarding the naming as #11 rather than #4, as you're dealing with Upper Extensions to a chord

    Name this chord 🤟

    Hey guys, so I was just watching a video of a friend showing his new music & he described a chord he played simply as a 'C minor' - however the exact voicing of notes he played were: C F# G Eb- which sounded amazing - but not strictly a C minor chord, or even strictly from the C minor scale. If...

    Mash up

    Holy shit, that's uncanny! Avril Lvenged? 🤔

    Advanced Gypsy jazz scales

    That makes sense man, I was experimenting with the scale last night and I love how chord 1 & 2 of the scale are both Maj7 chords, a half step apart - pretty strange - I think I came across the scale binge watching Rick Beato videos 😂 I was the same with Tonic & Dominant diminished scales aswell...

    When Is It Time To "Move On" With What You're Practicing?

    This is something I struggle with all the time, but with experience I feel like if there's a thing that you're trying to do that's really technically proficient, it's worth asking yourself - How long did it take the person who actually wrote/performed this solo- to be able to play it? A month...

    Being Back On The Site...

    Well said Jak, constructive criticism is the way 🤘 Some of the most pivotal moments in my Guitar development was where someone took me to the side and was like 'that's great, but try this'. If I'd taken these things personally my playing would be about 20% of what it is today and I'd be running...

    Advanced Gypsy jazz scales

    Nice stuff man! Double Harmonic Major is an interesting choice over a Dominant chord - I'm thinking because it has the natural 7th In it? - I'll need to give it a try 🤟

    We want to hear from you!

    Everybody has given amazing responses already but here's my two cents; I've definitely noticed the lack of engagement recently, as I check the site daily to see what's happening in the forums and to see if I can help with anything. It boggles my mind still how the site isn't heaving with...

    How many chord do you need to write a song?

    I think the answer is 'yes' to this question 😂 One song might be served well with many intricate chord changes where you could write a banger with just two chords 🤟 The two chord song might have a higher chance to earn you crazy royalties too 🤔 It all comes down to how crafty you are with your...

    How do I teach someome play guitar?

    Hand synchronisation

    Hey! As Radu said, a video would be super helpful, but a couple of key points to get your left & right hand synced up: - Play really, really slow & give each individual finger the same ammount of strength & purpose - when you feel like you could speed up - fight the urge & stay slow! - Do the...
