Good job on the Octomorphasis. Nice and smooth. 🙂

@Kitman , I have been getting the pink screen off and on since last week. I have tried to refresh, close out the program and reopen, I’ve rebooted. Nothing seems to help. I write my reply in word and copy / paste over to the site now. Good luck.

HOOT HOOT! Listen to you. Great job.

@Mrfredsporty and @stevieblues, Yep, it sounds like you are starting to develop your musical ear. Keep it up. My computer doesn’t have sound, so I have to use head phones. I think they give a nice crisp sound, by blocking out all the other noises that go on in the house. Also when listening to the exercise, don’t be afraid to hit that pause button and rewind. Listen and pause again and rewind. Maybe even print out the lesson and jot notes on it.

@Mrfredsporty , the capo is your friend. I have a couple of songs that I play that are down on the 8th fret. Gives it a music box sound. I would be lost without my capo. 🙂

@MikeGaurnier,I did download your chart, but it’s a little too much information for me right now. I did save it off into my Guitar file for later. I just wanted to know what the upcoming Minor chords were going to be for the Key of B, using the M M m m M M m Dim M from the Nashville number system. That way I could practice up on them a little early. Thanks for the information.

@Kitman , I never thought about having multiple TAC screens open. That might be part of the issue. 🙂

ah ha…. a finger pointer! Just teasing with you @Kitman. I was looking up different reasons for the pink screen and i’m getting driver issues for your graphics card, heat issues. Maybe too many applications are open on your desktop (hmmmm…. that sounds like me)? I’ll look into the graphic drivers and see if I need an update and let you know. Maybe that’s it? I don’t know.

@MikeGaurnier, I included a copy of the Nashville number system chart. I’ll just keep rehashing stuff and it will sink in. But this week’s challenges for the Humpty Dumpty’s Metamorphisis are Minor Chords in the Key of B which will be the 2, 3 and 6 degree. So we should be looking at C#m D#m and G#m. That is, if I’m looking at it right. I’m pretty sure I am. I’m reading a book that @the-old-coach recommended and it’s in simple English (no bull music theory for guitarists). I just hit a snag on the integers. So I have to reread that section. I understand it a little bit, but my head keeps saying…. ‘who cares’, so it was time to put it up.
As for my song, it’s very lame, I just wanted to figure out what Tony wanted us to do and I think I figured it out. Now, I have to spruce up the song. Which probably won’t happen on that challenge, but when I get better at it. i’ll start improvising a little more. -
@Kitman @the-old-coach , something like when we had to take a test in school and you wrote stuff on your wrist. ha ha ha

@Kitman, it is not operator error. I don’t know why it happens, but it does. It’s nothing you are doing wrong. For a while there it seemed like everyone was having this issue then it stopped. I just started getting it again last week. I have had it happen at least 4 times since it started.

@GerryB56 , you don’t have to do the whole challenge on Wednesday. Just start out with the first bar.

@MikeGaurnier , I learned a lot doing this. For one, since I had to play the different sheets of music a billion times to see what sounded right I got a lot of finger exercises in. But, now I totally get it when Tony says the major notes are on the degree of 1 , 4 and 5. This week’s Key is B Minor so the notes will be the degrees of 2, 3 and 6 (i think). I did backtrack and figured out the scale myself, which will help strengthen my Music Theory knowledge. I thought the same thing, it’s got a little bluesy feel to it. I’m going to start figuring it out the challenges every weekend. I’ll will help me remember the whys, of how it works. I would still want to work with this version a little. The song doesn’t need a transition between each chord change. I like the way @Kitman did his Drop D Improv. something like that would be a nice add on. His improv was a great inspiration for the group.
Since it’s bluesy, I’m thinking a strum I learned for “Chocolate Jesus”. B (Basenote) D U, B, U, D, U. Just a slow and easy. Add in Kitman’s little shuttle. ha ha …. we got it. -
@GerryB56 , The daily challenge exercises are great. You’ll get your fingers where they can reach those notes. You just have to give it time. If you haven’t done the 5-Day Guitar Routine, I would recommend looking into it. It will explain the challenges a little more. I want to learn songs, but there are 1000s of tutorials on the internet for songs. But, to make the songs stand out a little more you need those ending licks. To make a song better, use transitions between the chords. I don’t even know if I made the song correctly. I’m guessing at it. But, I think i’m on the right track. Thanks for making a comment, I appreciate it. Adding to my goals is putting the challenges together at the end of the week and posting it. So far, I have 1 done 🙂

@Kitman , yes, of course. I only looked it over a little bit this afternoon. Looks like it has good illustrations of what he is talking about. Small quiz at the end of the chapter. This is 1 of 3 books. Depending what I think of this one, i’ll get the other 2.
