Guitar adventures - 7 day Challenge

evolucian

This series of lessons is designed to get you to know your fretboard. Become acquainted with it like you’ve always dreamed of/hoped to. So before I continue with what this series will do for you, let me first tell you what it will not do.

It won’t:
• Make you a shredder
• Make you solo like a god
• Make you understand life, the universe, or anything in it
• Make me give you a fish

But it will:
• Help you think for yourself
• Help you understand your fretboard
• Help you visualize your way across the neck, as well as up it
• Help you understand the framework of a scale as it slips its way across the fretboard
• Help you learn how to fish for yourself

If you suffer from laziness, now would be the time to make the choice of whether to continue reading or not. If you leave this for a rainy day, then you will never do it. Simple as that. This series will work on memorization and visualization. It will also be practical… one can’t happen without the other. It will also have some theory. Run if you must.

This series is aimed at people wanting to know their major scale... and a way to zip around the neck. That means learning it, yes.

For those that remain... here you go ?

+1. Always good to refresh your memory on this stuff. Interested in "Help you visualize your way across the neck, as well as up it" - it's always helpful to see this in new ways IMO.

It's a novel approach ?

Taking the sandwich to the bread was the easy part. However, and I'm sure it's the same for many of us, I don't have easy access to a stream. So I jumped in the swimming pool.

Should I have let the sandwich go?

Good Stuff Evo

Will give this a bash

G-Man

Thanks Evo, I'll give this a bash as well. (I might ask stupid questions if the theory is too hectic! o.O )

Bob-Dubery

The repetition and visualising aspects are an interesting idea.

Hahahaha... mmmmmaybe ? Unless you like them soggy's, hehe... pssst... you were supposed to avoid the water altogether ?

I'm glad you guys like it or are at least giving it a bash. Don't hesitate to ask questions (albeit self explanatory). Just a little side note... on Day 8, the links will be nulled... and possibly a new series will begin. Just saying... ?

Also, it is very important not to skip a day. I realise it may be difficult, but it is important. Any break in the system and its 1984 all over again (or Equilibrium... whichever your movie genre preference is).

Day 2 is up

*edit* I apologise for the americanised format of the words (the ize should be ise... but Word hates me, no matter how many times I change it... it just does the same ol shite... so its not me, its microsoft's fault)

evolucian

howdy guys... any of you still in this? Hands up if your brain hasn't popped...

btw... the reason for the links being nulled on day 8... this is your christmas present. I hope you guys are still with it, hehehe

Consider my hand up. But I might not make it all the way through in 8 days, what with repairs around the house, christmas planning, going to see Cox and Co last night and various other duties and obligations.

Have mercy!

guidothepimmp

Bah, the old repairs around the house excuse, watching cox and co, duties etc, what next? The dog ate your guitar? >☹

I've added that link in to your original post. I can do the other parts for you, but it's probably better to post them separately first rather than wait around for me. Once I've seen them I'll add them to the OP.
