Hi members,
The former underutilized forum heading “Guitar Techniques and General Discussion” has been replaced with “Members Teaching Members”.
The idea came about over interest in a section to reproduce and showcase solos. At our recent Zoom meeting some understood this to be a category to showcase licks. That evolved to the idea of actually demonstrating and teaching licks or techniques. The idea of members teaching guitar maintenance or construction was also discussed. Use of gear, recording techniques, video tricks, the topics are plentiful. It could also be a place to pose questions.
Joe D1 pointed out that we already had an appropriate category that was seldom used. To keep things simple, Manfred approached Brian for the name change.
There’s a wealth of knowledge and creativity out there, let’s share some ideas. Do your best Brian impersonation. Brian has always supported the idea of members teaching each other. Let’s see what you’ve got.
John
P.S. Reproducing solos was still encouraged but the feeling was it could be posted in the “Showcase” area, unless of course you’d like to teach a solo..

Thanks for this John. And everyone else who was involved in the input to create this section. I’m still in the “learning phase, not even close to the teaching stage. So this will hopefully be very helpful to me. Still mostly a lurker, I’m looking forward to seeing what comes up here
Never Stop Learning. Ever.

Awesome! Happy to see this happening.
I’ve been away for a while. Completely missed the last 3-4 lessons as well as the Jan challenge. Hectic at work and chaotic at home (preschooler parenting and all that). But, I’ll get back to it sooner or later.
Looking forward to seeing cool MTM lessons in this thread and I’ll try to contribute with something authentic, we’ll see.Cheers,
HenhTrust the process.

Thanks John for your post here….Members Teaching Members – New Forum Category
I have a question…..is there anyway to see how many “monthly challenges” ones participated in over the years? I see where we can call up all our posts but that includes all posts I think. Just wondering.

Hi all, first time posting in the forums, long time member. Hope this is the right spot to ask advice. In Brian’s recent lesson EP632 – Bars 19 and 20, I never understand the logic around the harmonies (the two notes played together) going from 2 fret spacing to 1 fret. Any tips welcome or links to a lesson you may have seen? I’m sure I’ve heard the theory many times with Brian, but it’s never sunk in. Thanks!

Don’t Stop When You Hit a Wrong Note – Do This Instead ML141
A light bulb moment at 5:00 into the video. The statement by Brian was “there is one more note you can add” that works within a key with the other 7 notes you can play that fit. I stopped the video to see if I could guess the answer. I got it right….the flat 7th because I remembered my practicing the mixolydian scale. I was quite pleased with myself with that…..just sayin!

Mark,
Go to Beginner Guitar discussion; go 3 pages back, go to the 4th thread down: Don D. In this thread a group of AM members put together a treasure trove (plus comments)of some of Brian s best basic beginner lessons. Within that list is a number of suggestions from a series called LEG(he did between 2010 and 2012). There are over 30 of these lessons all good. Of those I would recommend LEG007 and LEG019 . Both are “no accompaniment “ , and are 12 bar mini songs. The only draw back of many of Brian’s early lessons is that there is no tablature. Good luck, Andrew -
Was looking at gold foil telecasters and watched Mike at Norman’s guitars demonstrate one. On utube. Have been trying to figure out what chords and or scales he is using in his demonstration as really like his playing. Not having much luck. Maybe there is even an Active melody lesson in there somewhere as just a demonstration. Any ideas?…Did order The guitar lol

Kind of hard to know what you are really talking about without actually providing a link to the video in question. If it’s just chords, that shouldn’t be that difficult to figure out by ear and sight of what position they are playing at on the neck.
Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

Sorry not to up on how to put links from utube etc. if you do a search on utube for gold foil telecasters, one of the first is Mike of Norman’s guitars demonstrating a blond tele. Can figure out some of what he is playing for the demonstration but with my skill lever pretty much lost as a whole. Any clues would be helpful. Thanks

The link is in the address bar of your browser at the top (https://the_address). Select it, copy it (usually Ctrl-C or Cmd-C), then paste the address to your video inside your post. No one is going to look it up for you. You have to put the link in here. I’m not going to spend time working on dissecting a video, only to find out it was the wrong one.
