Hi Everyone,

Today's Target members only lesson is an addition to the Fly On The Wall with Robb.

Part 3 began with a little summary of our work on Spain, then became an excursion into the timing of some Led Zeppelin tunes, including Over The Hills And Far Away and Black Dog. A little discussion about some progressive rock followed with references to bands like Genesis, Gentle Giant, and even Mark-Almond. This tangent went on for a bit too long but some of the trivia might be interesting.

In Part 4 we went into Open G Tuning to work on the Slack Key piece Moe ‘Uhane by Sonny Chillingworth. We talked about open tunings in general and how Open G (Taro Patch) and C Wahine are not that different from Standard if you pay attention to the strings that are not changed. I gave Robb a few suggestions about tone and sustain to help improve his overall sound.

The last part of our time touched on a few other songs and artists, including The Ivory Salamander and Patrick Simmons, which also led to a little personal musical history. Then Robb brought up The Shadow Of Your Smile and we talked a little about choosing keys when making guitar arrangements.

Enjoy!
