haha the groove was me just throwing something together asap testing logic for iPad, I hear it now! I'm sure you'll get this one sooner than that, I remember you came up with a cool variant on the last one! Cheers brother, hope all is well down under 🤘🏻
@@DavidBeebee this one feels pretty good! The descending major triad and then the "compression" with the first finger is one of those "oh, I get it now" moments
Hope you can get back to 100% health soon, man. Your work has had a big impact on my falling back in love with guitar and jazz. I'm really enjoying both Pathways to Jazzes, and Solo is a staple in my practice diet. I think I've listened to the Guitar Hour catalog 2-3 times. Anyway, thanks for everything! I truly appreciate you.
Glad it was helpful! Yea you could totally use a fret wrap or a scrub by or what not to help deal with the noise whilst working on that element. I forgot to mention that in the video!
Best of luck with the shoulder rehab, Beebs. I’m very well experienced in that area, but it needn’t get in the way of playing or training - I too love a Spartan race! Highly recommend a channel called Body Fix Exercises - he may have a video that can you help with your rehab at home. And obviously a good sports physio!
Thanks Chris 🙏🏻 I’ll give that channel a look. I’ve been round the block with the physio first time, but yea ultimately gonna have to get back to doctor and on waiting list for surgery for long term fix I think.
Hi David, did you get an MRI done on the injury? Based on the footage you showed of the fall, it is possible (I'd say likely, though I am not a medical professional) that you sustained a compression in the cervical spine - this means one of the discs (usually C5, 6 or 7) is pushed out of its place between the spinal bones after the impact, and ends up either protruding out of position, or lodging against the spinal cord. It happened to me after a heavy fall from a road bike. The symptoms are similar to what you are describing. This can only be seen on MRI so it could be worth getting one done. In my case I had to get the disc taken out, which wasn't fun but it was the only way to address the compression of the spinal cord, which causes symptoms similar to those you're describing. I'd encourage you to get it looked at as this could potentially alleviate a lot of the issues. If you've had this for 2 years or more it's very debilitating - like me you seem able to get on with playing, daily tasks, etc. but it has major effects on how yoy feel and what you can do. I was going to osteopath, massage therapist, etc. but it was when I got the MRI that I was able to see the extent of the issue and start to address it. If you did get this done already please ignore the above but if not, you might consider it. Best of luck with the issue anyway and hope you resolve it and thanks for this lesson.
Hi Matteo, thanks for the comment. Yes, I did get an mri in 2918 which confirmed what you are suspecting. I was told eventually the surgery would be likely longer term but advised to wait until mid 40s as it would likely settle and not disturb me for long periods. Which had been the case, I go months or years without having any issue at all, so I think this is the third time now since 2015 that it’s been bad. Going to see doctor again though to discuss if nows the right time. Really appreciate the info on your experience with this, and really glad you enjoyed the lick lesson. Cheers mate.
Hi David ! Right now going through Vol 2 of pathways to jazz. And I'm loving the material. You're a phenomenal teacher. Any idea on when Vol3 will be released ?
Hey Dave, great lesson. I noticed at full speed you pull off some of those notes instead of that typewriter idea you show when played slow. Is it your goal to get the whole lick without pull-offs?
Hey, cheers. Yea, I think I mention that in the video even it's not always perfect. Although full speed can be visually deceptive, even if I'm not visibly as far from the strings, there is a definite release of finger pressure, so its still not really pulling of to a planted finger, but pulling off "into" a hammer on. It feels very different and the accuracy is ultimately way higher when doing it as intended. Hope that makes sense, and thanks for watching.
Great video David. Just wondered whether you have ever tried playing with the guitar on your left leg, classical style? I know it doesn't look as cool as the typical/standard way of playing but I've found that my right shoulder and neck feel a lot less cramped and I'm not having to twist around to accommodate the guitar. Anyway, keep up the great playing, looking forward to trying out the lick!
Thanks Luke 🙏🏻. I studied classical guitar for a number of years, I'm kinda of used to that but not really adopted it for electric. It might be something I have to think about and try though. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the lick :)
