Jak's challenge

[Calvin Phillips]

My goodness, this was a pain.

A tad sloppy, but I didn’t really think I’d have anything put together fast enough, and I tried to play the entire thing with my pinky which is not my strong suit. I focused on two licks I sorta created out of two starting points of the scale on G. Then I just made them into triplets. I’d make a video explaining what I did more but I dont have an interface set up to record both my guitar and me lol.

 

[Calvin Phillips]

wow the video didn’t pop up again.. that always seems to happen lol…

So it’s Tuesday so that technically means it is time for a new backingtrack However, I noticed that nothe everyone has done their improv for last week so maybe we should wait for a bit with the new backingtrack. What do you guys think?

 

[Sayonil Mitra]

sounds good

 

[Calvin Phillips]

I know jak said she’s busy so she might not have had time.. maybe give them til the end of the day. also seems to be an issue with riffs

 

[Calvin Phillips]

sayonil, I think you should choose this week’s improve challenge. I’ll do next weeks because honestly I haven’t looked into the back tracks yet and I’d rather you guys tell me which ones to do cause I feel its more fun to push myself that way. First video came together much faster then I thought it would, so I feel it’ll only get better from there. And when others are ready to join us they can come in at any time. Even if its just us three I feel we will definitely push each other.

 

[Sayonil Mitra]

Cool. I will post it tomorrow.

 

[Sayonil Mitra]

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

 

[Calvin Phillips]

So we’re improving over D and C yeah?

 

[idssdi]

Yeah, should be fun!

 

[Sayonil Mitra]

yup Calvin

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Alrighty have some ideas. Since my overtime was cancelled last weekend, its the same thing for me. I’ll do my best to get this done this week but I wont get lucky like I did last weekend with an ice storm. The good thing is I have one half of this down its a matter or getting the other side down pat too. Hope others feel encouraged to join us.

Hey guys so I just put up a new cover and I’d really appreciate it if you guys could tell me all the places I should focus on and where I need to improve

[idssdi]

Sure! Even though I’may not very good at playing covers I will try to give some feedback! I’ll also will try to post my improv over this weeks backing track tomorrow. Jak will you also be joining?

 

[Jak Angelescu]

I’m gonna try! What’s the backing track for this week?

 

[idssdi]

It’seems this one
CAGED System – Variations & Embellishments Over Two Chords – Lesson 32

Not any crazy scales(that’s probably gonna happen when it’s my turn again)
I can’t wait what you guys come up with

 

[Calvin Phillips]

I like this one because its slow paced.. more melodic. I know you said my last video lacked that so well see how this one goes. I have a good idea on the C side of the caged system, its the D chord I’m gonna need to work on this weekend. I’ll hopefully get some early hours this weekend. I think I’m gonna do some of it tonight too.
