    Nice and simple @charlie_d 👏👏👏 I like how you stuck with the technique presented in the Upper Cut improv challenge, hammer-ons, pull-offs, drone, all while doing the scale on the single string – very disciplined. I couldn’t resist doing the scale across the strings when I did my improv – I was able to get in some hammer-ons and pull-offs, but didn’t use the drone at all. I applaud your effort and discipline Charlie. As I said in another post, thank you for continuing to post your versions of the Wednesday Improv challenges, it’s definitely encouraging to watch and listen🎸🤘

  • Very nice improv @charlie_d 🤩👏👏👏 I liked the mix of chords and riffs, particularly the riff at around the 1:25 mark – so sweet. I enjoyed listening Charlie, thank you for continuing to post your versions of the Wednesday Improvisatoins🙏

    Hello @jason-ashley and welcome to TAC. When looking at a lesson video, you should see some icons in the lower right hand side of the screen (you might have to “mouse” over the area to see them) within the video frame. What icons you can see will vary, depending on what browser your using (Chrome, Safari, etc.) and what type of computer (PC, MAC, iPAD, etc.) you have. For me, I have to click on the “Full Screen” icon to see all the remaining icons – I know that sounds crazy, but I’m using a MAC and that’s what I have to do to get access to all the icons. From that point, there’s a “Speed” icon and it’s set at 1X. Put your mouse over that icon and all the speed options will pop up. Choose the one that you feel is appropriate for the lesson – you can change it whenever you want, up or down from 1X.

    Yes, there used to be 3 different videos for each lesson, slow, medium and fast speed. But a few years ago, TAC eliminated that system and introduced the speed icon as one of many remedies to conserve sever space.

    Hope this helps answer your question. Best of luck in your guitar journey 🎸

    Hey Mark ( @the-old-coach ), for a direct transposing, yes, that Asus2 becomes a Dsus2 because you’re going from the key of E to the key of A. Now that being said, it’s your song and maybe you don’t like the sound of the Dsus2 (compared to the sound of the Asus2) or it’s not within your voice range – IMHO, you’re free to try something else (another form of D) because it’s your song – or consider a different key.
