5/19 Lesson - A Little Forgiveness

Warm up - spider - great job.
remember to do the finger gym as well at home each day

Speed: we worked on the metal speed drill on the 12th fret.

Aural training - hearing different chords
  1. major 7th - jazz sound
  2. Dominant 7th or just 7th - barber shop quartet or bluesy
  3. minor - dark
  4. minor7 e.g. Am7 - open, optimistic?
  5. 6th - like a choral group (play a G with an open high e string)
  6. C2 - add a D to a standard C chord
  7. C9 technically requires the other notes in the triad (root, 3rd, 5th, 7th and then the 9th). check out C9 forms here

It is a crime to neglect your singing talent. This song will help you play some dynamic chords and sing at the same time. Have fun with Forgiveness by Patty Griffin.
