Remote Learning...wanna learn a new skill?

[Sprocket]

I was turned on the Micro BR by Sprocket on another board and got mine on just shy of a month ago.

Glad to see youve joined the, hope the lessons are going well...and Im curious what headphones you chose?

Dont mind the butterflies posting your own tracks...itll only inspire confidence towards future projects. I'll even go as far as to say I dont even get nervous when the record light is on anymore...and because its "improvising" Im usually able to get my stuff done in one take...I even find my flubs sound good/decent(to me).

BTW, anybody interested in Strats and wants to talk up the Micro BR to other Strat playing guitarists who are unaware of the MBR's awesomeness...heres the topic  

[StevieM]

Oh no they don't


Don't worry JC, it can get a bit like a pantomime on here sometimes .
Welcome----you'll have a lot of fun!!

The lessons are going very well!  Thanks for the inspiration.

Headphones - today I ordered the Sony MDR-XD200 you recommended - I found the at J&R Music World for $22.99 including delivery and no tax, should be here in a couple of days. I'm looking forward to ditching the junk ear buds.

Justin, Welcome aboard. I hope you dig these lessons like I do. I've been a kid in the candy store for over a month. Good luck on your venture.

Check out the proof!

That's gross!!! Get an old toothbrush and start cleaning that fretboard!

And wash your hands before you play.

I do wash my hands before I play

Don't worry - new set of strings and a setup this weekend 

[Tony W]

Justin, one thing is for sure, your finger placement on the fretboard is good

I can't find the syllabus for this class  - but I think I'm now all caught up, got 2.2 and the Mid-Term off to Mike this afternoon.

I just had the best practice feeling of my life!

I know what you mean, Im really digging the major lesson...after noodling around with it this weekend, I managed to find multiple chord voicings in the patterns...and Ive been having fun tying the riffs into the chords by finishing the riff off with a different chord shape.

Ah, yer an old pro...youll be there in no time.

Im just stoked on how many different chord voicings there are in the major scale as opposed to the minor scale, and I was able to get some good sweeps with the minor. And most of the chord voicings are right in the same ballpark as the blues note, so itll make for some nice turnarounds(for me)  ending on the "I". 
Now if I could only get the hang of these major turnarounds...I feel like I need to walk it the opposite direction(going up instead of down).
Sorry Mike, these turnarounds are gonna take me sometime to work out before I can return the lesson...but Im having lots of fun and finding lots of useful bits(all on my own) along the way!

I challenged myself and  spent the last couple of days practicing on the 48's extend lesson of " The Thrill is Gone" backer by changing each time to one of the 80 pre-programed  patches that the MBR comes with.

Yep - all 80 patches - I really had great time experimenting with range of tones and the styling that I could develop with each patch.
