August 2026 challenge response Alan L

[Alan L]

so many things to work on! I landed on some 251 patterns, since i’ve never really studied any on guitar. I found a few licks to learn and threw in a few arpeggios/chord voicings as well. Backing track seems a little hot to me, i guess i struggle with recording too! 😅

thanks for listening!

Whoops! Hopefully this does it

[Michael Krailo]

Excellent navigation of those arpeggios. Well played.

Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

It sounded very nice indeed Alan.

Arpeggios/chords sound great, Alan. No struggles here. Is that your own improvisation? Awesome.

I got the licks from this site:

And “improvised” the voicings- just not in real time! I worked those out before hand

[James B]

Really smooth playing across the fretboard, Alan. A cool vibe you worked into that backtrack.

That’s some fine Jazz, Alan. That is very smooth playing and I don’t detect any struggles. Thanks for sharing the source of your licks, I may check it out later.

Great jazz playing, Alan! Like Kenny Burrell himself 😉
