Bass & strings with the speech on top right?

Yes, listening now

Yes, it is best to come to these realisations yourself. Having someone tell you exactly what is happening isn’t always the best way to learn – doing is quite often better. I’m a Physics student and half the […]

soundcloud.com is also a good choice

Yes, that is an important concept to get – that the Pentatonics add up like that. I suggest you try making a diagram with diatonic modes – you’ll find something very interesting

I wouldn’t say I’m […]

One little mistake in the cheat sheet there Janus, you have Am as ”viio” – it should be just vi.

Update:

I worked out two routines I’m going to start using in the next few days hopefully (busy week ahead). The first:

Cycle of Fourths/Fifths: Pick a Shape and do Chords, Scales and Arpeggios through the […]

No problem.

Yeah that sounds like a great idea – we’re all aiming to be at a point where we know what we’re hearing. I’m not there yet – but I’m definitely on my way

The secret? It’s all about […]

It’s modal stuff. Where are you at on the course? – In general the conspiracy says not to worry about vocal melodies until advanced.

Yes it does. If you play in Em say (which would be a VI in the key of G), then you would use Aeolian – this would be minor and obviously pull towards the E. Also if you played a chord progression in Em, the chords […]

I’ll give it a go Guru, I’m actually about to watch a film now – so I might make some notes while I’m watching on what I feel should be in my mini-practice.

Yeah I get the same janus, it’s not anything […]

4th – 13th March: Been practicing on and off, mainly focusing on Chord Prog and Modes. I’ve definitely developed on both those fronts, mainly with seeing Pentatonic shapes within modes whilst I play. I feel that […]

Yes they’re all equally important At least you’ll be awesome at ii-iii!

You’ll save money if you wait and buy it all at once – that being said I think that the Conspiracy and the 2Chord Loops/Jam Tracks are by far the most important parts of Spytunes.

A lot of the things he says sound contradictory in the first part of that interview – I think what he means is that you shouldn’t restrict yourself to certain notes – a solo doesn’t have to be 16th note […]

Yes, there are minor keys – however they aren’t seperate keys really. The concept here is called “Relative Minors”. Basically, the relative minor to the I chord in any key is the VI chord. In the example you […]

CAGED is obviously not a revolutionary idea, it’s more how it’s applied – I’m not the greatest guitar e-resource connoisseur but I have never seen anybody else use Chord shapes as a method for teaching modes […]

22nd Feb -> 3rd March: Literally done nothing from the routine, been busy at Uni and hence just wanted to play rather than practice. I’m going to pick a song out of Advanced to try and learn I think…
