    Jak's challenge

    I was actually listening to this one. Its simple but has a huge space for improvs. So this week, the backing track is from this CAGED System – Variations & Embellishments Over Two Chords – Lesson 32

    Originality/creativity

    This is something I am also struggling with, but I guess Feel comes from the underlying melody. Holding a bend, sustain, vibratos enhances the feel.

    OK. Maybe this improv did not follow the rules of the challenge but that's the best I could do. Cuz, this week I could not give time and really make something better for not getting enough time. Also I played the backing track chosen by Ids on my own guitar and put it on a loop cuz some technical pr

    Guitar Pep Talk

    Thanks for this video Jak. I was actually having doubts over what I should do with my guitar in the future? Should I just play it as a hobby? Should I take it more seriously? Though I started playing guitar years ago, I actually realised how much I love it only last year. Some of my friends who...

    Arpeggios in solos

    I need some advice on this thing. I just started developing an interest on arpeggios and how to include them in solos. I was watching some tutorials of Syn’s solos and saw him using crazy arpeggios. How do you guys include or use long arpeggios in your solos? What is the though process behind...

    M I S T A K E S

    I don’t know actually. But some people say that when I play, my fingers are at too much angle with the fret board. Apparently that should create problems later on but I have not seen any.

    Is this a Good Idea?

    I also do not support the idea of grading as musicians. Cuz any test structure will just assess the skill level not the talent inside the musician. As syn said, no one is ahead of another. everyone is here to learn, spread and enjoy. But grading as a participant idea is ok. many forums have this...

    Oh cool. I just wanna ask. How do I get the backing track from that lesson?

    Jak's challenge

    Oh I am sorry about it Ids. Thanks for the clarification, I was actually a little bit confused. I did not understand it properly. You are not coming of as rude at all. ya now I get the challenge. Shall I do another one with the backing track you chose Ids?

    About all the collab ideas

    OK people. So far we have 3 ideas about the collabs. 1. Jak’s challenges 2. John’s bandhub thing 3. My youtube video idea. First of all, I think we should forget the youtube one because as calvin said, it might be too big for a first collab. I find the first 2 options a far better idea. What I...
