@Jörg Lemhöfer well, improv doesn't mean entirely winging it in the moment, much of it is planned out in advance. If you work to assimilate coach Gabriel's quote connector method unquote series in the improv section of the classroom, you'll learn to play the 2 5 1 In at least 14 different ways over an octave, which will Bring improv closer to something akin to quote in the moment unquote as opposed to quote totally planned and worked out in advance ". It's all about the 2 5IMOo.

Who is this really? Honestly you sound much better and more confident at full speed. It's like a different person is playing the guitar now, you're really advancing to my ears.

There will never be another U 5CE
https://youtu.be/1usoxryzB5Y There's so much wrong with this recording, I just wasn't feeling it. But, I'm really tired of this tune and I've got to get past it, so I'm posting it and moving on. All I was really trying to do was learn to resolve to targets, mostly always thirds here, and in any way I could get there. Tasteful it's not, but I think I met my goal.

Etude 2.2-practice
https://youtu.be/sxDEFJ2zZ8I Hello all, here is a "sign of life" video from me--I'm still back here... practicing away on the Lesson 2 etudes...this is chord progression #1: I-VI-II-V. It's slowed down to some percentage- somewhere between 70-90%. Keepin' it real with no perfection here. :)

There will never be another you - head and improv
https://youtu.be/Abdr1o9YEYw A very tired run through of another U head and improv. I was so tired I even lost my place once or twice, but while there were errors and lapses some of it sounded pretty good to me so I'm posting it. Forget about perfection, right! I'll appreciate feedback but I won't be able to reply to any of your comments since the school platform broke Accessibility for screen readers. If anyone wants or needs to communicate with me the alternatives are my email and/or text. My email is [email protected] and my text number is 413-535-8060. So this is probably my one year anniversary video as I signed up September 1 of last year. Before that I was just a Bluegrass banjo picker who was curious about jazz. Now, I feel like I'm getting some foundations in the three main pillars of harmony rhythm and improv. A little shakey and still a long way to go, but I feel like I've got a basis to work from now. Probably won't be posting again for a short while as I'm having surgery on the left wrist in about eight days and that'll keep me hands off the guitar for a week to 10 days anyway. Hopefully when it heals it'll be smooth sailing and I can get down the business again.

I'm a long-time banjo player from Massachusetts, but I've grown tired of playing checkers on banjo and I want to start playing chess on guitar.
