Good point Bobby! Stick with what Barry says, but just know we're talking about notes extending past the octave

By the way I wouldn't suggest anyone get the DVD set without the workbook.

Poor internet connection where I am today but I'll upload a video on 'Indiana' a la Barry tomorrow morning.

oh well. I look forward to hearing what Mark thinks and seeing David's lesson

The first "basic" to give me pause was the thirds-with-a-half-step-added. That was a new one on me. It's taking a little time to get it smooth but I hear the value of it and realize this was something I didn't already know (-or hadn't learned to play at will), so I'm better off than I was before starting this. ;o)

Right on, Mark. What really set off the ABCs for me was when I started adding in slurs. I started with a basic self imposed "rule": Any time I can conveniently do a hammer on or a pull off in the position I'm working in and is an "and" going to a down beat, I do it. Usually ends up being just a couple of slurs in either direction...really set it off for me.

Here's my scale "road map" for Indiana (in F). Video (in which I talk through this) uploading now.

I'm not holding out myself as an expert on any of this material or a strong player. We're all learning this together. In fact, I'd never looked at the tune 'Indiana' before posting that I would do a video, so it forced me to sit down and do some work!
EDIT: I should add that the video is set to 'unlisted' so can only viewed through this forum thread.Last edited by David B; 11-05-2016 at 04:13 PM.

I refer to a couple of videos during my ramblings:

I take it that one should do this exercise---seeing which scales (in Barry's sense of the term) go with the chords of a standard progression---for other tunes. Blues and rhythm changes would be good starting points, I guess. (They may be done on the Workshop DVDs----I'm deliberately going no further with the DVD than I have gotten with "The Basics", and that's not very far yet.)
-
that's literally exactly what he goes on to do, Mark!
