So, the circle of fifths lesson - that slowed me down. What I noticed about myself is, I have been practising the lessons so much I was neglecting just playing an practising the songs I already sorta knew and liked. I needed to bring some balance back into my practice. I feel better for it. So, now I work on theory and my top four. Later it will be theory and a second top four.

Always work some balance in. This sounds like a great, personalized approach. The more you look inward and ask "how do i keep focusing on the things that excite me now while working toward other things that sound exciting" the more you'll start to feel like a musician

Practice number one is a pain in the a** compared to this 😅

You lick you finger before grasping the pick; does it help?

It’s a weird/gross-looking habit but yes! If you have dry skin on your hands, it makes it a lot easier to grip the pick.

Nicholas Burbano

does this shape work all around the fret board? Aside from the E and A string?

Magela Crosignani

so confusing that if you look at it from C then the one above is the perfect 5th but if you look at from G the one below is the perfect 4th..... brain is exploding.

Magela Crosignani

right i guess it is both depending on the direction.

Once i had worked on the #01 major scales lesson, this one was pretty easy to keep up with!

I love thesiunds between the fiths. New devide by linkin Park's intro uses them and I love the song, its some what nostalgic and this was a good lesson, thank you. :3

Is there a PDF sheet of the practice of the diagram for the play-along?

Sev

What kind of music after 160 bpm...

Clement Kabiligi

at least one common shape. memorizing all the shapes in exercise #1 was a bit tricky for me

I was trying to demonstrate the power of shapes on guitar, so I wanted a bit of contrast between exercise 1 and 2

Could I do the same workout by creating, 6th string to 1st string shape pattern and moving it for all 6th string root notes and then creating another 5th string to 1st string pattern and moving for those respectively ? Would this give me another octave to play over ?
