July 31st, 2016 at 7:50 pm EDTHey Friend, Hope your Sunday was a good day. I spent the morning playing catch-up on stuff, so that's why this is getting to you late... Did have pretty good lesson with my daughter. She's getting a lot of the same stuff you guys are, she just gets i ...

C to D Minor
July 29th, 2016 at 8:28 am EDTHey Friend, In the key of C major, we've established the IIm chord is D minor. Now here's the thing about using Dm in a progression (or any IIm chord, for that matter). If you're sitting there scratching your head saying "What the heck is this 'IIm' ...

☹☹☹
July 25th, 2016 at 11:12 am EDTHey Friend, I have to say my heart isn't into it today. In fact, it's in a minor mode with a sadness weighing it down. My daughter shared very sad news of one of her classmates - this young girl's mother chose to take her own life, leaving a husband ...
A Shape Barre Run-through
July 24th, 2016 at 10:31 am EDTHey Friend, We talked about forming the root 6, E shaped barre chord. I gave you the tabs for it (here they are again). But we haven't dug into the root 5, A shaped barre chord in depth. Like the E shape chord, the A shape is a second inversion chor ...

July 23rd, 2016 at 3:03 pm EDTHey Friend, Yup, I'm late. I needed to get outside and do some sleuthing before it got too hot out. Don't want another episode of heat stroke, that's for sure! Here's the Weekly Review for you. Hope your Saturday is everything you dreamed it would be ...
