When I’m having a “this sucks” kind of day on my guitar I like to turn my focus to the theory side. I know it sounds a bit nuts to want to dive into what for many is torture. But I just love the back-ends of things, that nuts and bolts stuff (under the hood) that’s just how I’m wired. My specialty in Information Technology was gathering information from SQL databases and writing reports. I had to understand the relationships between tables and design queries, views and/or procedures to get the snapshot that managers wanted

I still haven’t grasped everything in music theory that I would like, not even close! I’m really still at the very beginning, but I’m learning more and more every day. Maybe in a few years I’ll be able to understand what the heck you’re talking about @jorgemac !

Hey Pete, when your learn what I’m talking about please clue me in… so I can figure it out too.

Ain’t no sunshine this coming week and I spent a couple of hours going over the lessons. I concentrated on Tuesday’s guitar lick and learned to do it in a ew different areas of the fret board. the notes for the first 2 measures are mostly double 8th note and notes are E and G, A and C, B and G ending on the quarter note A and finishing with quarter Bass notes of E and G.

My favorite start’s on the G string 9the fret E note, then goes to the B string 8th fret/G

the 2nd double 8ths are B/10 A note to Treble E 8th fret/C

Then Treble e 7th Fret/B and back to B string/8th fret G

and ends on the B string 10th fret A note

You can add the G/9E to the 12th fret G note.

J-M—

Well, I made it to “different areas of the fretboard” in your post….. and then my brain turned to mush.

I hope to one day…. maybe…. get to the knowledge-level you mention here.

But you continue to help pull us up the ladder, and it’s greatly appreciated!

Hey Coach, the easiest is using only the treble E string

using double 8th notes for each pair of notes until the last note which is a quarter note. So

open treble E string to 3rd fret G

5th fret A to 8th fret C

7th fret B to 3rd fret G

then, use a single half note on the 5th fret A.

If you want you can end it using

Open Bass E string to the 3rd fret of the bass E string

Please pass the brown sugar and milk……

Be sure to use slides, etc.

slide into 8th fret, pause and then slide back to7th fret and then pick 3rd G note and slide into 5th fret A note to end it.
