Members Teaching Members – New Forum Category

[charjo]

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.

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.

Sounds like you had a very productive discussion. This feels like a really positive outcome and I like the wide ranging scope.
Hopefully it will add some energy to the forum and I look forward to sharing ideas, hopefully as both a contributor as well as a consumer.

Thanks to Manfred and Charjo for making this MTM Section happen. The original idea came from our existing member ‘Hardandheavy’ and as I’ve always learned so much from other members here, I saw a great potential for swapping good ideas within the membership.

Great idea John! I can always use some help from any direction!!

[Hardenheavy (Henh)]

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,
Henh

Trust the process.

It won’t be in this thread, just start a new topic in this forum section and your good to go.

Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

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.

Can anyone find out, which Harmonies are used after the words “coming over…” ?
It is a I-IV-V-Blues in A-Minor and the Rhythme guitar plays here some different harmonies inside A-Minor
– I can’t find out…

Tnx for help

[Dan B]

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!

Hi Dan, Check out Ep 363, Brian does an essential theory lesson on harmonies and also gives the formula.

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!
