A to G#dim Chord Changes
December 30th, 2016 at 8:28 am EDTHey Friend, Friday!!! It's finally here! I can't tell you what a relief that is, since all day yesterday AND Wednesday, I felt like it was Friday after a very long and hard week. There's nothing like tough one to help you appreciate the weekend even ...
G# Diminished Barre Chord
December 29th, 2016 at 8:32 am EDTHey Friend, Well I give up - my technical troubleshooting will have to wait until the weekend. I can't seem to get any traction when I sit down in the evening - my wheels are just spinnin'! At least the PDFs are working. Whether I get it fixed or not ...
G# Diminished Positions
December 28th, 2016 at 8:32 am EDTHey Friend, I didn't get my technical troubleshooting done last night. We ended up having a guest for dinner, so I couldn't really behave in my normally reclusive manner to focusing on fixing the problem. So no MP3 files yet. Let's finish up on the ...

December 27th, 2016 at 8:35 am EDTHey Friend, Ah, the best laid plans... I fully intended on having an introduction to G# Diminished (G#°) today, but the Fates are not allowing it. Technical issues are a pox upon me... I'm integrating this new audio interface into the computer syste ...

Merry Christmas 2016
December 24th, 2016 at 10:30 am EDTHey Friend, Merry Christmas to you! With it being Christmas Eve and with all the last minute fun to be had before the Big Man in the red suit comes around, we're taking a little break from the lessons so you can let the visions of Les Pauls and Strat ...
One For The Bucket List
December 23rd, 2016 at 9:34 am EDTHey Friend, Happy Friday! One more workday to get through before the Christmas weekend. And I can't wait! For me, it's been one of those weeks that wears on you. I had an appointment to see an unpleasant client on Wednesday that ended up being postpo ...
F#m Barre Chord Review
December 22nd, 2016 at 8:31 am EDTHey Friend, The F# minor barre chord is formed like every other minor barre chord - no surprises in store for you today. Here are the exercise files. The root 6 version is barred at the second fret across all six strings with your index finger. Ad ...
F# Minor as the VIm Chord
December 21st, 2016 at 8:30 am EDTHey Friend, So far, we've seen F# minor as the IIIm chord in the key of D major. Now, it shows up as the VIm chord in the key of A major. It will come along again in one more major key and three minor keys. If you're playing a song in A, the VIm chor ...
