First Round of "Homework" Due Tomorrow!

[Jak Angelescu]

Hey guys! I have had some awesome clips being posted on the original topic. Just a reminder about if you want to participate in the homework assignments over lesson 7, make sure you do the challenge, record yourself, upload it here, and if you want to, join me tomorrow at 5pm CST live on Instagram to play it in front of other viewers and get feedback
I changed the time from 3pm to 5pm because I won’t be home until 4:30. I’ll also probably have to start doing these on Saturday. I’ll be uploading a video soon about some cool new stuff I learned, including a new practice technique.
Love you guys!

[Jak Angelescu]

Thanks Calvin!

 

[Jak Angelescu]

Oh my gosh Calvin I am so excited and moved by how serious you took this weekly homework! You put a lot of work into that!
On a side note, my singer says that you sound like a voice Actor for a video game characterand that’s a compliment!!
I really hope you’ll be able to join me tomorrow and show all of this hard work off!

Reminders are awesome!
Unfortunately I cannot join you at 5 pm CST

Here is my attempt . But the F major… you say B flat (in the video I said A sharp so that’s wrong)
I know the fretboard a little bit better. And I can play the G major at more places. But this is just 3 other like Jak asked.
And I’m not comfortable talking in my videos .

According to classical music theory B flat isn’t the same as A sharp but that had more to do with how their instruments were tuned. For a guitar in the way we tune it nowadays A sharp and B flat is simply the same note so you’re not really wrong

 

[Kim Vandenrijn]

@ Ids: Oh ok, thanks. Yeah that’s what I thought. It was something like up the neck is sharps and when you go down the neck it’s flats.
But sometimes I look on google to search some stuff or you tube and that’s where I came across that. So I was confused.

 

[Jak Angelescu]

OMG KIM I LOVED THIS!!! EXCELLENT WORK!!!

 

[Jak Angelescu]

@Ids I had a feeling i’m going to change it to Saturday after this because most of the participants are overseas in very different time zones. However I do plan on playing your video live tonight if that’s ok with you

 

[Kim Vandenrijn]

@ Jak: ooh thanks!! With this ‘homework’ it pushes me to practice more theory. And how quick I pick up the notes now, unbelievable.

 

[idssdi]

Yes of course you can show it!
It has more to do with the fact that I’m pretty busy with exams at the moment and have to get up at 7:30 am the following day(which would be more or less the same would have done it on Saturday) due to studying for exams usually Sunday would be fine for me tbh just now and next weekend staying up until 1 am or so doesn’t really work so well for me(5 pm cst is about midnight for me)

 

[Jak Angelescu]

I am so glad to hear that!! You did really well
By the Way for future reference what Ids said is right about those notes essentially being the same. A# and Bb for guitar players are essentially the same note but they are spelled differently. Those are called ‘enharmonics’
Other examples of enharmonics are…
C# and Db
F# and Gb
Do you have Instagram?

 

[Kim Vandenrijn]

ok, thanks for explaining. Yes, I have. I follow you .

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Kim I liked how you were speaking the notes you play. That is more then me.. I cant tell you right away the notes I’m playing but I can play them. So you’re already doing ahead of me there. Keep it up cause you’re going the right path for sure.

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Yeah sundays this week were rough and I really dont have the software but usually sundays are better for me. Just gonna say how too that next weekend I have ot so I wont be there either. But I’ll still make an attempt at the challenge. The video I did took one take. I realized too being in d standard its 2 frets down not up I was wrong in my video. But it didnt take long to set it up like that. My booklets help. I suggest you do one too to keep tabs on your notes. Also helps to layout a pattern before picking up a guitar. I imagine syn does this when writing songs. I think he used to plan all his solos before improving them these days. I like to be prepared personally.
Hope next weeks turnout is bigger. I looked for a possible archive video to see what I missed on maybe Instagram isnt like YouTube.

 

[idssdi]

Even though I couldn’t really make the livestream(besides that 1 minute or so I was there) I can still make a video explaining what I was doing and why I was doing it in a video if you guys want me too

 

[Kim Vandenrijn]

@calvin: Thank you! Yes, I practice it like that. And it works for me. I do my best .

 

[Calvin Phillips]

You’ll remember those notes in no time. I would if I took the time to as well but I’m pretty impatient lol. I have a decent idea but I need a second ro get it. You wont need to do that. Bad habits from playing without theory for years lol
