Hey man. You're one of the better Mando teachers on RU-vid. Thanks for the homework. Now I have some for you. I want you to spend a couple hours studying interior design. Then I want you to implement some of those principles in your RU-vid studio. Don't forget lighting. For almost zero money and a Saturday, your videos would take on the same professional aesthetic as your lessons already impart. This is not a passive aggressive insult. Your video contents are great and your teaching is excellent. With some lighting and a little thought on design, I think you'll be amazed how it impacts your production.
Nicely explained. I remember discovering something like it when learning a couple of O'Carolan tunes, Planxty fanny power springs to mind, but once you realise the mechanism the idea tends to spread to other tunes.
Okay, one thing I'm not quite sure about: If I play solo and I want to add a douple stop to my, say, B note., how exactly do I figure out which chord to chose my other note from, if I don't know what chord the hypothetical band would be playing at the time? I don't chose from the B chord, right, but from G. How do I know that? In the key of G, my B could be the 3rd of the G chord or the 5th of the E chord. Despite my confusion in this matter, thanks, great video!
Hi Claudia. Great question! The answer is that you would normally know the chord progression heading into your solo. For example if you are jamming 'Blue Ridge Cabin Home' you would have learned/noted/agreed with the others in advance that the solo is over the verse chords, and the chord chart for a verse is GG GG CC CC DD DD GG GG (x2) ... it would be almost impossible to start adding double stops on a chord chart you don't know for the exact reason you stated in your question. Hope that helps Mike
