    Wow, this one is smokin’ at 160bpm. Well worth wait on this wonderful Friday evening. The concept of colors of chords is important. I learned this in another one of your lessons and it was enlightening at the time. This lesson has a ton of useful licks that are super tasty. Partial chords rule.

    I may say more later as i go through the exercise but I really like the d7th c shape transitioning to a d 7th a shape. I find many songs moving back and forth from different caged chord progressions as always within the same structure.
