@digenu7 make a baseline. record something that you can play pretty good and store it. Then play it again a couple of months later and see how much better it comes together. Good job on the progress and you’ll only get better and better 🙂

@Kitman
this is great. You really did a good job
on this improv!! Very bluesy. Love your studio
too. -
This exercise was just to reinforce what we learned in FBW. The daily challenge is another nightmare all together.
I redid the challenge Puckstopper. These are my changes. I’m using the C shape everything works using the C shape EXCEPT for the note on the 2<sup>nd</sup> string which is open. For that note I would switch to an E shape.
I opened up the FRETBOARD WIZARD 3.1 – CAGED ingredients (attached) and it allows me to use the open C chord. The only Chords that allow me an open 2<sup>nd</sup> string is the E or G. I just happen to choose the E.
This works with ‘Puckstopper’ and ‘Glove Save and a Beaut’
Thanks to N-lightMike for pointing out my error on D. I am still going to go back and check out the daily challenges for this week and LISTEN to the video this time 🙂
Still not saying this is correct, but I think I am going in the right direction. It’s starting to make sense.

@ChuckS ha ha ha, yep I could have a hootenanny down there with all that room, ha ha ha. We used the Lifeproof, rigid core Vinyl planks floating floor on the 1st half of the remodel and really liked them. We’ll continue with it on the 2nd half. I really don’t remember what type of insulation we used in the walls? I wasn’t even thinking that once the walls and floor are done that it will make it much nicer humidity wise. It is a heated basement too. My husband is all geeked to start, so we might be able to demo the phase 2 of the basement before vacation and then come back and get to work. I’ll mention the Insofast to my husband. He is in charge of that type of stuff. I just point.

@GerryB56 , Thank for your comment. We already have ½ the basement completed. Full bath, kitchen area and entertainment area. The flooring that we’ll be using is Lifeproof, rigid core vinyl plank flooring. It’s a floating floor so no worries about moisture. I don’t remember if there was insulation under the flooring or not? We are already using it on the side that is completed and it’s really nice. Since it’s floating it’s easier on your back and never freezing cold. I only have one egressed window, so the room will stay large. If I section off a room I have to put another egressed window in. Now that we have been talking about the remodel I’m getting anxious to start on the project. Thanks for all your comments and glad to hear your recommendations.

You are very welcome. But, the video speaks for itself. Studio look great and the recording sounded great.

@the-old-coach . This is something i have found was an issue. If you happen to backspace to far, the cursor turns red. When it does that, it seems that is when I have issues. I attached an example, sorry for the clarity of the jpg.

Thank you. I actually think I understand it. 🙂

@That_Guy , Ok, first let me mention I’m a bit shaky on this subject. Just to clarify, we are talking about doing the daily challenge which Mike pointed out was in the Key of Em. Since the key of G major’s 6th degree is Em and both keys (G & E) use the same notes, the tonality would be the same? It will give us more opportunities to use in soloing or an accompaniment. As I’m playing a song in the Key of Em, I could be playing a lick in the Key of G and it would still sound good because the Harmonics would match? I hope what I wrote makes a little bit of sense. I’ll sit back and work on this a little bit today. To get a better handle on it. Thanks for the input. It actually seems to make some sense. I don’t have that ‘lost in the forest’ feeling.

@That_Guy , We have 1/2 the basement remodeled, we will be entering phase II, probably not till January. We were going to do the demo before we went on vacation but then decided not to and wait till we are back. Right now, not as much dampness in the basement, but it still needs to be emptied every few days. I’ll be shutting it off completely soon. Yep, I do the same, box up my guitars for vacation. I’ll post a picture of the remodel once completed. My husband was going to hang my guitars on the wall but not sure I want to do that yet. Thanks for your comments on this. I would hate to see a huge crack down the front of my Taylor. I think i’d faint.

@Kitman Just watched your improve. Assuming you are in your basement studio, it’s awesome! My basement is wide open. No plans to section off the room either. I’ll have a better idea after the remodel in the basement is done. I wasn’t thinking about insulation and drywall being a factor. We’ll be adding insulation in the walls (which we don’t have in the now in the unfinished half. But, the remodel won’t be completed fill January / February time frame (if I’m lucky). I purchased the same type of humidifier the guitar store near me uses. I’m happy with it. I think it holds 2 gallons and I have to fill it up every day once I set it up. Glad to hear members are able to use the basement for a studio without any issues. I think I’ll like it better down there anyway. Thanks for your input.

@the-old-coach it sounds good to me. I write stuff down all the time. Make my little diagrams just to make some sense of it all. All we have to do is use or our brains turn to mush and we forget. 🙂
-
@the-old-coach I started going through the soloing and had to stop. I was spinning my wheels trying to figure it out. Once I get a handle on this CAGED system, i’ll go back to soloing again. Your kicking yourself for nothing. it will come to you.

@the-old-coach just take it slow. I took the 1st FBW and I was lost. I could get the musical alphabet and then getting into the Chord Matrix was getting a little harder. In fact I still get confused with it. The CAGED system is hard. Just happened after messaging back and forth with you and @Kitman it started to make a little more sense. Then when @N-lightMike got in the conversation, he pointed out a few things and I could see a little better. I still don’t know if I’m 100% correct, but I see more than i did just last week. So just give it time and one day, you see just a small light at the end of the tunnel. maybe just a spark 🙂

@That_Guy Thanks for the information. My room now is about 10’ x 8’, not so hard to regulate. I just bought a 90 gallon aquarium and it is taking up a lot of room that was for my guitars. Since I’m afraid of the guitars getting knock over now, I’m planning on moving my guitars into the basement with has Low ceiling and it’s about 35’ x 20’. It’s built like a studio room. Actually pretty awesome right now, but wide open. A kitchen area, entertainment area with furniture and wide screen TV and then a sitting area with furniture along with rugs. I did purchase some Humidipak 2-way humidification system. I’ve never used them before. I hate to start putting my guitars back in their cases. You know… Out of sight, out of mind syndrome.
