Here's one for this week as well . It's very much a rough run-through, complete with restarts etc. I really can't do heavy editing on my phone with this kind of thing, and I don't have anymore time for it for the next week or so. The minor third cycles I just played a few times. Skip 10 seconds ahead on the minor third cycles each time, if you don't like clams . :-)
I'm going out of town for a week and will most definitely be off grid, as regards video recording etc. I may check in and post here or there. I'll rerecord a decent version of these when I get back, if I can manage it.
All comments and critiques appreciated.Last edited by matt.guitarteacher; 07-19-2019 at 06:35 PM.

Matt,
Still sounds grooving to me.
But we always want critiques.
So I will share something that I noticed in my own playing that I heard in your 50 & 51 patterns.
When you pick going down to the high E--down to the floor in a vertical manner--your time is pretty solid. Your eighths have just the right amount of lilt--and there's an even-ness to the notes that is colored by accents to bring out the line
However, when you pick "against gravity" and up towards the low E--up to the ceiling in a vertical manner--your time waivers a little. It's not as solid. I think this is a huge thing to address--because I see it in my playing as well. It's more challenging to pick upward to the low E than it is to go down.
That said, you did this all without a metronome and you kept it stable throughout.

I think someone mentioned this in another study group, but it would be interesting to apply these patterns to a tune--even something modal?
I suck at modal playing, so I'll put my neck out on the line next week... before my parents visit (I just got done with my in laws... [in a Princess Leila voice] "patterns for jazz study group, you're my only hope")
Someone braver than I took one of our patterns and applied it to Giant Steps... I need baby steps right now

52 and 53 at 140bpm. New guitar and limited practise time on these ones, so no need for comments this time.

54 and 55 140bpm. Definitely deadline versions.

Greetings all
I"m back from 6 weeks in Israel doing historical geography and archaeology. I'm about re-acclamated to my home time zone, so I will start working again on this group. I plan to play through the patterns I missed but I likely will not post clips. When I'm caught up to where you all are, wherever that ends up being, I'll start posting again.

Lawson-stone is back.
Where did you go in Israel this time?
My mom was raised in Haifa. She always talks about how beautiful the Golan Heights are...
I still haven't visited.
My middle name, when I spell it right (a sign of my idiocy and a disconnect from my family history on my mother's side) means "tree that stands alone in the desert"
Anyway, glad your back.
I posted all of ONE video to this thread. I really gotta play ketchup!

I kind of forgot about #54 as well.
Pretty quiet lately. How's everyone doing with this? :-)

I think the material is becoming more useful. I'm glad I'm still doing it. I just wish I was doing it better!

I looked at ex. 55 and played it when my daughtie was sleeping...
Bad form, but she didn't wake up.
There's some more interesting fingering challenges that I worked out last night.
I wanna post a video, but... ergh, so much to do...
I wanted to post a video on Stablemates on the pianamo as well...
We'll see where the day takes me.
Pattern 55 is hard, btw. Good job with the challenge, Matt!

Patterns 50 - 51 combined - all variations - 130 bpm
Here are patterns 50 and 51 combined into one drill for each variation. I'm still sticking to the working order of chromatic, 4ths, 2nds, minor 3rds and using various positions and fingerings.

Patterns 52-55 combined - all variations - 150 bpm
Here are the rest of this month's patterns combined into four drills. All are played as 8th notes at 150 bpm.
