I've just completed another section of the Free Theory course. This one's on how to read standard notation. If you only learn one thing this year make it this, it is absolutely worth the effort, despite what those that have never done it may want to tell you.
Checkout the new Help system in the main menu. There are videos included to help you find your way around the site, make the most of your lessons and navigate features like the video finder and midi player.
So Part 1 of the advanced improv course and the free theory course are just about done. Get on and have a look. The improv course is good to go, just need to add the links to the theory. I'm getting the videos sorted for that now, a week or two maybe.
With the demise of Google+ I've created a Facebook group for you to ask questions, post videos and get feedback about your learning, specifically about any aspect of the courses here buy anything else related to your playing I'm sure we can manage. It'll also be a chance for me to hear from you about what things work, what things still need tweaking and what things I should be developing next.
I've just added a video and chord chart to help you build chords for your four stringer.
Coming soon, a course in advanced improvisation for 3 and 4 string guitars. Not for the faint hearted this will be far and away the most comprehensive course on improvisation for 3 and 4 string guitars anywhere in the known universe. Current subscribers can get a sneak preview here.
Videos can now be downloaded through either the link at the end of each video or directly from the page. Check the text descriptions for each video.
Some users have reported issues playing some of the videos on their iPads with the new iOS. It turns out that Apple have made some changes that will be fixed with the next release that effect Vimeo's embedding capabilities. Unfortunately there's nothing to be done but wait for the new release in which we're assured it'll be fixed. To keep you going I've added download links in the text directly beneath each video so that you can download the video and play it on your device. These download links will remain when the problem is fixed.
Playing in time and keeping a constant beat is important but most songs will ask a little more of you than that. These 2 workshops will have you reading, listening and playing a variety of different rhythms suitable for beginners through to advanced players.
Two new workshops on slide blues complete the 4 string resources.
