The Real Deal-- Continued


    In addition to getting the chordal patterns under your fingers then into your mind and ears...learn what makes up good chordal movement...If you practice your chordal patterns in fourths... i.e. G -C -F etc -- you are playing one of the most common progressions in Western Harmony. Say the chord as you  play...you will soon find your way around the neck that you could never learn with scales and just referring to a fingering chart as a crutch. You will also find that your EARS will be picking up the patterns in a recognizable, logical fashion that is musical and relatable to all styles of music....the '' DNA'' if you will, of music

All of my students learn this and when the put in the time and study are amazed at how they can listed to music and pick our chords..and how they are functioning in a progression....and they are light years ahead of others who do the creative dead end of too much time practicing scales....


I have four free vids on my you tube channel
